VAF Filters.

The V-Series design is the most recent, state-of-the-art self-cleaning screen filtration technology available today. The complexity and cleaning efficiency of any self-cleaning screen filter is in the mechanical system that drives the cleaning process. The new V-Series™ patented Reverser™ drive mechanism is the simplest and most efficient in design.

V Series:

The V-Series design is the most recent, state-of-the-art self-cleaning screen filtration technology available today. The complexity and cleaning efficiency of any self-cleaning screen filter is in the mechanical system that drives the cleaning process. The new V-Series™ patented Reverser™ drive mechanism is the simplest and most efficient in design resulting in:
■ Fewer moving parts (no limit switches or pistons reversing the cleaning mechanism),
■ Simpler controls,
■ Reduced flush flow,
■ Greater cleaning efficiency, and
■ Lower maintenance requirements.
The V-Series’ 5 to 30 second flush cycle is automatically initiated when a pressure differential across the screen increases to 7 psi. The filter remains on line, and the filtration process remains uninterrupted during the cleaning process. And the flush discharge is the lowest in the industry resulting in minimal waste. Every filtration project has unique requirements, so the V-Series filters are constructed to ASME code and are designed to incorporate a broad range of construction material, pressure and temperature options. Glacier Filtration custom manufactures filters and skids that simplify installation and meet specific requirements.

VLC Series:

The VLC Series filters offer a lower-cost solution for filtering suspended particles 80 micron and larger with recommended filtering flow rates from 70 gpm up to 1,000 gpm. Pressures must be minimum 35 psi to no greater than 80 psi. Flush flow rates are higher than the V-Series, so please contact Glacier Filtration to discuss your application.

VAF 2000 series:

The VAF 2000 design is time tested and proven as a reliable self-cleaning screen filter. The VAF 2000 filter utilizes a simple hydraulic motor in combination with a hydraulic piston to move cleaning nozzles across the screen during a cleaning cycle. There is no complex electric motor to wire or repair. The VAF 2000 filters’ 5 to 30 second flush cycle is automatically initiated when a pressure differential across the screen increases to 7 psi. The filter remains on line, and the filtration process remains uninterrupted during the cleaning process. And the flush discharge is the lowest available resulting in minimal waste. VAF 2000 filters are constructed to ASME code and are designed to incorporate a broad range of construction materials, and pressure and temperature options. Glacier Filtration custom manufactures filters and skids that simplify installation and meet specific requirements. The VAF2000 automatic self cleaning water filter is a screen filter with an efficient, quick flush. It will remove silt, scale, sand, dirt and organic materials such as algae, zebra mussels and clams from virtually all types of water sources. VAF2000 filters can be used on Cooling Towers, River or City Water and can be fitted with food grade components.
