The introduction of the DCF-1600; now available, offers flows to 125GPM and multi-level automation options to reduce operator involvement. Since their introduction in late 1994, the DCF-400 & 800 (30/60GPM respectively) filters have met with instant acceptance as superior alternatives to bag, cartridge, and vibrating screen filters in the paint, ink, coating, and adhesive manufacturing markets where reduction in waste at the source while addressing environmental issues is a constant concern. Dozens of case studies confirm their ability to increase productivity and cut costs by minimizing or eliminating filter media changeouts and disposal. Many process engineers are experiencing greatly enhanced filtration precision, thanks to the exact dimensions of our wedge wire media, and the DCF's ability to maintain a low, constant differential pressure that prevents extrusion of contaminants through the media.
The DCF-1600 offers all the proven features of the 400 & 800 plus flows to 125 gallons per minute with a 100 micron screen, depending on the viscosity and solids content of the feed stream. The DCF-1600 is a stand-mounted unit constructed of 304 stainless steel that is rated to 150PSI and a maximum operating temperature of 250oF. Media elements are available with ten retentions from 15-1550 microns.
Several levels of automation sophistication to meet specific process demands are available. The Level 2 models involve cleaning disc activation with a pneumatic linear actuator that is manually operated with a push-button. Purging is completed by manually turning a valve positioned at the bottom of the housing. Level 3 models involve automating the pneumatic actuator and purge valve with an electronic control system.
New media options are now available for DCF filters. To
further meet an expand the applications of the DCF Series mechanical self-cleaning filter
technology three new media sizes are being introduced:
800 micron (0.032") slotted wedge wire element
1125 micron (0.045") perforated element
1550 micron (0.062") perforated element
All three elements are positioned for separation of larger suspended particles and are capable of filtering higher volumes of high viscosity fluids. These elements are manufactured in 316 stainless steel and offer the durability and precision machining you've come to expect in Ronningen-Petter media elements.
