Precoat filter

The precoat filter from KÖBO ECO>PROCESS GmbH for fine oil filtration

The precoat filter (ASF) is a filter dome equipped with filter cartridges, which is fed discontinuously with contaminated oils (or solutions) via filter pumps.

In the first step, a filter aid suspended in the oil (e.g. cellulose, diatomaceous earth, perlite, etc.) is floated onto the filter carriers (filter cartridges) and a filter cake layer is formed. The pores of this filter aid layer are much finer than those of the filter carriers and thus enable fine filtration. Once the precoat layer has formed, the process is automatically switched to filtration mode.

The contaminated liquid is now passed through the filter layer of the filter cartridges from the outside to the inside, filtering out the dirt particles it contains. When a predefined differential pressure is reached (or after a set time has elapsed), the filter elements are cleaned by an automatic backwash and are ready for a new filter cycle.

The precoat filter system is ideal for ultra-fine cleaning of liquids, e.g. for:
