Disc Filter
Disc Filter Suppliers
As supplier of disc filter in China, we provide automatic self-cleaning disc water filter. Thin color-coded polypropylene discs are diagonally grooved on both sides to a specific micron size. A series of these discs is then stacked and compressed on a specially designed spine. When it is stacked, the groove on top runs opposite to the groove below, creating a filtration element with a statistically significant series of groove and shoulder, which trap the solids. The stack is enclosed in a corrosion proof and pressure resistant housing. During the filtration process, the filtration discs are tightly compressed together by the spring’s power and the differential pressure, thus providing high filtration efficiency. Filtration occurs while water is percolates from the outer diameter to the inner diameter of the element. Depending on the micron rating, there are 18 (in 400micron discs) to 32 (in 20 micron discs) stopping points in each track, thus creating the unique in-depth filtration.

Composition of Disc Filter

Disc Filter Working Principle
- The discs are compressed together by both the spring and the pressure difference on the tightening cap, forming a sturdy filter element preventing solids breakthrough.
- Inlet water flows into the filter through the filter element
- The suspended solids in the water are trapped on and between the discs
Disc Filter Back Washing Process
- A command from the control unit to the filter’s inlet valve causes the valve to close the filter inlet and open the drain.
- Filtered outlet water enters from the opposite direction through the outlet port of the filter.
- The flaps of the membrane are opened by the water pressure, allowing the water to flow only into the 3 flushing pipes.
- The water is forced through nozzles built into the flushing pipes.
- Water from the flushing pipes also flows into the piston and pushed the tightening cap up, decompressing the filtration element discs.
- Tangential jets of water cause fast spinning of the separated discs and remove the trapped
solids. - The solids are flushed from the filter to the drain.
