FilterAutomat
Extremely robust automatic filter for solid-liquid separation
High-performance automatic filter for efficient fine and coarse filtration
Our Filterautomat was developed to optimize the filtration process while reducing the effort required for operation to a minimum. Thanks to its independent control and automated processes, the automatic filter is able to continuously monitor and adjust the filtration process to achieve optimum filtration results.
Its rotating filter drum ensures the uniform distribution and removal of solids over the entire filter surface. Its robust design and excellent backwash performance offers companies a reliable solution for the efficient filtration of solids for almost every industry.

Advantages of the Automatic Filter
Automated solid-liquid-separation and cleaning:
Our water filter for industries works independently and continuously, without manual intervention. It monitors the condition of the industrial filter and automatically adjusts the operating parameters. Solid-liquid filtration is not interrupted during automatic backwashing. There is no downtime for the entire water filter system.
Industrial filter with maximum cleaning and energy efficiency:
Thanks to the constant filtration performance, you can increase your productivity by up to 20 %, avoid production interruptions and also ensure consistent operational reliability – even with changing dirt loads.
In addition, it prevents premature wear of sensitive system parts such as heat exchangers, fittings, flow meters or spray nozzles. This extends the service life of your system by 2 to 10 years and reduces unplanned downtimes by up to 25-35 %.
Quick installation thanks to inline construction:
The level connections enable quick and easy installation – without having to relocate or adapt the pipes. Particularly with pipe diameters from 150 mm, you save on expensive commissions for installation companies. This reduces your planning and installation costs by 30-40 % and speeds up the commissioning of your system by up to 2 days.
Secure implementation with plug-and-play unit:
Thanks to the already wired and tested unit, the time-consuming wiring and testing process is no longer necessary on site – the industrial water filter is ready for immediate use. This shortens your implementation time by up to 40 %, significantly reduces installation costs and minimizes potential sources of error.
Time and cost savings:
By automating the filtration process, the automatic filter reduces time and labor costs considerably. Filtration is not interrupted during automatic backwashing, so the entire water filtration system does not come to a standstill.
Easy operation and maintenance:
Easy to monitor and control, the Filterautomat is designed to be user-friendly and requires minimal maintenance.
The backwash function of the FILTERAUTOMAT
Automatic backwashing for continuous filtration performance
and maximum filter service life
WHY A BACKWASH FUNCTION?
Backwashing is used to regularly clean the filter element to remove accumulated solids. This keeps the filter surface free and fully functional, allowing the filtration process to continue without interruption and with consistent efficiency.
HOW DOES THE BACKWASH FUNCTION WORK?
Automatic backwashing prevents blockages caused by deposits, which could otherwise result in increased differential pressure, reduced water flow and potential process disruptions. In this way, backwashing ensures constant cleaning performance extending the service life of the filter by removing contamination completely and in good time.
Key features of the FILTERAUTOMAT
Our automatic filter for every application and every industry
MAXIMUM CLEANING PERFORMANCE AND FINE FILTRATION DOWN TO 25 MICROMETERS
With cleaning speeds of 4 to 10 m/s and 100% cleaning of the entire filter surface, we ensure outstanding cleaning performance for every application. Even coarse particles are reliably sheared, while the fine filtration effortlessly traps particles from a size of 25 μm.
FLEXIBLE CUSTOMIZATION AND EASY INTEGRATION FOR VERSATILE FILTRATION REQUIREMENTS
Thanks to the uniform feeding of the entire filter surface and the option of integrating individual wedge-wire screens or wire mesh, the automatic filter offers a flexible and adaptable solution for every application. The compact inline design and fully pre–wired tested unit allows for quick installation and seamless integration into existing systems.
EFFECTIVE APPLICATIONS IN NUMEROUS INDUSTRIES
The automatic filter is versatile and can be used in industries such as steel, paper, chemicals and power plants. It also supports cleaning in wastewater treatment plants and the maintenance of building technology, while additionally ensuring clean systems in geothermal and offshore applications, the food industry, drinking water treatment and irrigation. Furthermore, it plays a valuable role in mussel control.
