Aqueous and non-aqueous fluid filtration
ESCO Process Automatic Cleaning Stack Microfilters (ACSF) relate to a process where solid particle removal is accomplished by thermoplastic discs, with serrations appearing on both sides and designed in such a way that a fine cross ladybrinth is formed.
Filtration is carried out under pressure with the flow starting at the outer diameter of the element and is forced through the ladybrinth, exiting at the internal diameter. The filtered effluent is carried out of the upper casing by the candle through the collector in the upper plate.

- Disposal cost reduces to a minimum
- Increase employee safety due to zero exposure to hazardous substances
- Temperature up to 204degC
- Replaces cartridge, sock and bag filter systems
- FDA approved filter media
- Super efficiency (99% operation)
- Built to your application process requirements
- Fully automatic operation
- Compact design with small footprint
- Eliminates need for backwash pump and air scouring blower for conventional filtering system
- Stainless steel construction for aggressive environments
- Single vessel, duplex, triplex or other design for continuous flow up to hundreds of cubic metres per hour
- Oil tolerant up to 20ppm
- Particle retention from 1 micron to 100 micron
