Automatic filter AF 7 G with external pressure cleaning and integrated cyclone effect Connection size DN 0/G, cast stainless steel Short description MAHLE automatic backflush filters are suitable for all applications where lowviscosity liquids have to be filtered These compact, inline filter systems are designed for automatic cleaning The system is cleaned by rotating the cartridge and backflushing with external or internal pressure media Advantages: Low lifecycle cost because no filter material is consumed Cleaning without interrupting filtration Precise separation quality in accordance with the surface filter principle Topquality, asymmetric filter medium made of multiplesintered stainless steel fleece on a rugged core element Efficient filter cleaning assures maximum process stability Solid construction and highquality materials for a long service life Minimal liquid loss during cleaning Filter cleaned one segment at a time with a high backflush pulse Actual filter rating and nominal separation are indicated Integrated preseparation thanks to tangential inflow and preseparator tube Material variants open up a wide range of applications Modular MAHLE Vario system for optimum filter selection Optional: Gastight shaft seals available Optional: Application in Ex zone and Optional: Certification for Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) according to category III PED EN Easy maintenance Worldwide distribution
Operating principle The MAHLE AF 7 G belongs to the Vario series The compact MAHLE automatic filter system is used for fine and microfiltration The filter is cleaned when a preset differential pressure limit, a set interval or a defined filtered fluid quantity is reached of a variety of lowviscosity liquids The segmented element is turned as the cleaning and external pressure valves are opened The segments are then guided one at a time past the pressure channel on the outside, causing them to open and close alternately The integrated external pressure accumulator is pretensioned during closing, so that when one segment opens, an outward surge cleans the separated particles from the filter material This inline pressure filter consumes no filter material, which means there is also no need for subsequent disposal The filter is cleaned without interrupting operation The concentrated solids are drained off simply by opening the system for a short time The medium to be cleaned is guided into the filter housing under pressure and flows inward through the MAHLE segmented element Particles settle on the surface of the filter medium The filtered fluid exits the filter housing at the top opposite the inlet connection The integrated preseparator relieves the load on the segmented element, particularly from coarse and heavy particles This is achieved by a tangential flow around the preseparator tube and the deflection edges As a result of this pulse cleaning principle, the particles are catapulted out, collected in the flushing channel and discharged almost entirely with external medium One turn suffices to clean all segments The residue that has settled in the collection cone can be emptied via the drain valve either when the machine is at a standstill or during filtration _ All filters of the MAHLE Vario series are protected by patents Used MAHLE filter cartridges in the AF 7 G backflush filter: MAHLE topmesh cartridges (standard): Good cleanability due to asymmetric design Large effective filter surface Defined particle retention Several material combinations MAHLE notched wire cartridges: High differential pressure stability High wear resistance in extreme applications Good backflush properties Several material combinations possible AF 7 G stainless steel Inlet connection Outer inlet plenum Preseparator tube 7 8 9 0 Inner inlet plenum MAHLE segmented elements MAHLE filter material Plenum for filtered fluid Outlet connection for filtered fluid Residue collection cone Drain valve Drive motor External pressure connection, external pressure and backflush valves and gauge Pf 7 8 External pressure accumulator External pressure nozzle Flushing channel Cleaning valve (P control throttle) Differential pressure contact gauge P gauge
