SAND FILTERS

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides technical specifications and operational details for sand filtration systems, highlighting their efficiency in filtering suspended solids and reducing water turbidity through in-depth filtration using volcanic and siliceous sand.
Construction Materials: The body and manifolds are made of carbon steel or polyethylene, with joints of synthetic rubber nitrile. Screws are zinc-plated for weather resistance, and collector arms and nozzles are made of polypropylene.
Steel Surface Treatment: Steel elements undergo internal and external treatment with nanotechnology impregnation, followed by electrostatic spraying of epoxy polyester powder paint.
Filtering Element: The system uses volcanic sand as standard, with siliceous sand as an alternative.
Cleaning Process: Cleaning is achieved through reverse filtration by opening a drain valve. The process can be automated with a GLOBO valve, ensuring thorough cleaning via collector arms or nozzles.
Pressure Specifications: Maximum pressure is 8 kg/cm², minimum cleaning pressure is 2.5 kg/cm², and testing pressure is 16 kg/cm².
Features: The filtration system is designed for minimal head loss and can be used in manual, automatic, or semi-automatic stations, with diameters ranging from 350 mm to 1,400 mm.
Technical Data: The document includes detailed specifications for various models, including dimensions, weight, and sand capacity. It also provides flow rates and filtration surface areas for different levels of suspended solids concentration.
Head Loss: Results from factory tests using clean water and volcanic sand are provided, showing head loss at various flow rates.

SAND FILTERS-1

Media Filters Minimal head loss due to nozzles or collector arms. Sand filters can be used in manual, automatic or semi-automatic stations. From 350 mm up to 1.400 mm of diameter. TECHNICAL DATA SYSTEM The filtration through sand is produced by physical retaining the dirt into the gaps formed between the granules laid throughout the whole mantle. This is an in-depth filtration, characteristic that gives sand filtration to be most efficient system of all. CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS Body: carbon steel. Manifolds: carbon steel or polyethylene. Joints: synthetic rubber nitrile 60º Shore. Screws: zinc-plated weather resistant. Closing cover inlet and outlet water: 15 mm melting. Collector arms and nozzles: polypropylene. STEEL SURFACE TREATMENT The steel elements are treated internally and externally and an impregnation of NANOTECHNOLOGY. After that, the elements are painted by electrostatic spraying powder paint, epoxy polyester. FILTERING ELEMENT Volcanic sand (standard) and siliceous sand. CLEANING Cleaning takes place by reverse filtration, by opening the drain valve to the exterior dislodging through it all the dirt. The systems can be automatic if a GLOBO valve is used. The cleaning process is guarantee thanks to collector arms or nozzles which are along the media filter basis. PRESSURES Max. pressure: 8 kg/cm² Min. cleaning pressure: 2,5 kg/cm² Nozzle Testing pressure: 16 kg/cm² Volcanic sand (standard) Siliceous sand Filtration using low media filters, either through nozzles or collector arms, is the most exhaustive of all filter equipment. It is particularly indicated to lower the concentration of suspended solids and water turbidity.
