Features of EATON DCF 1600 Mechanically Cleaned Filters
- Automation Minimizes Disposable Waste and Labor Costs
- Elimination or reduction in disposable filter bags and cartridges for reduced operator handling inventory costs and landfill waste
- Reduction in product loss, more thorough contaminant purge in a highly concentrated waste stream
- Virtually maintenance free, near 100% uptime
- Compact design, lower capital cost to fit most installations
- Stainless steel screens from 15 micron slots to 1/4″ perforations to handle a wide range of filtration needs
- Available with UHMWPE, Urethane-, Teflon, or Kynar-Cleaning Discs
The DCF is the best self-cleaning filtration solution for minimizing product loss in high-value and/or high viscosity fluids.
When processing water and water-like liquids where a low initial investment is demanded, DCF single actuator models deliver tremendous benefits. Available in 400, 800, and 1600 sizes, The DCF-Series enables operation at a vast range of flow rates and retentions.
The DCF-800 and DCF-1600 are also available in twin actuator models, which are designed for the rigors of processing highly viscous, abrasive, sticky, or otherwise hard-to-process liquids. DCF Filters are suitable for a broad spectrum of challenging applications and accommodate a wide range of flow and retention requirements.
A unique circular cleaning disc design (MCF) ensures intimate contact with the screen to thoroughly and uniformly clean the media.
