INNOVATIVE SELF-CLEANING FILTERSMETALEDGE®

METALEDGE®Innovative Self-Cleaning Filterschewing gum base toothpaste recycled oil products chocolate paints and pigmentsMetaledge ® Series fi lters are self-cleaning fi lter systemsdesigned for a wide variety of liquid process applications.The fi lter systems feature a cylindrical, cleanable fi lterelement. An integral knife blade cleans the fi lter bywiping the trapped contaminants off the surface of theelement. This self-cleaning feature eliminates the needfor housings with disposable fi ltercartridges, thereby reducing themaintenance costs of replacementelements, change-out labor, anddowntime.Metaledge fi lters feature a uniquebrass or stainless steel fi lter medium,consisting of a wedge-shapedmetal ribbon with formed projections.The wedge-shaped ribbonis wound edgewise on a cylindricalperforated metal core, producinga tapered fl ow path inward.The height of the projections and distance between theprojections determine the fi ltration rating. Fluid fl owis from the outside to inside. Particles larger than thespace between projections are stopped at the outersurface where they can be readily removed by the cleaningknife. Smaller particles wash through the taperedopenings without clogging the element.This self-cleaning featureeliminates the need forhousings with disposablefi lter cartridges, therebyreducing the maintenancecosts of replacementelements, change-outlabor, and downtime.Metaledge fi lter media provides the greatest percentageof open area, which is several times greater than that ofany other self-cleaning or wedge-wire fi lter media. Thisfeature provides signifi cantly higher fl ow throughput andlower pressure drop than competitive fi lter systems. Weoffer media from 25 to 500 microns.Metaledge fi lters come in fi ve models depending on thedesired fl ow rate and fi ltration rating. The smaller unitsfeature a “T” handle, which the operator turns by hand toclean the element. The larger fi lters employ a motor andmotor drive, which rotates the element against a stationaryknife blade.01 METALEDGE

INNOVATIVE SELF-CLEANING FILTERSMEDIA:Metaledge ® fi lter media feature afi ne wedge-shaped metal ribbon woundhelically on a perforated metal core. Thespace between each ribbon determines themicron rating of the fi lter. This space isprecisely controlled by forming projectionson the ribbon during the winding process.The tapered fl ow paths in a Metaledgeelement prevent clogging. Particles thatfail to pass through may fall off or can bescraped off the surface by the cleaning knife.Metaledge fi lters provide superior surface fi ltrationperformance for a wide range of critical commercial andindustrial applications. The unique wedge-shaped ribbonmedia provides precise fi ltration performance to capturecontaminants, while letting smaller particles pass throughwithout clogging the fi lter element.The high porosity of the media allows Metaledge fi ltersto process a wide range of fl uids, from water to highlyviscous liquids, such as syrups and toothpaste.The self-cleaning feature of Metaledge fi lters assuresconstant fi ltration during long production cycles. Noneed to stop production in mid-stream to change outfi lter cartridges.ELEMENT KITS:Metaledge elements areextremely durable, often lastingfor years. Applications requiring24/7 service, require regularmaintenance. Extended periodsof operation with high viscosityand/or abrasive fl uids can causethe knife and element to showwear. Replacement element kitsare available and recommendedfor easy periodic cleaning andchange-out.03 METALEDGE
