Self-Cleaning Pressure Line Filter
The self-cleaning pressure line filter (A) replaces the standard pressure line filter, if fitted. The strainer uses excess pump flow to bypass clogging or undissolved particles back to the basket strainer in the solution tank. A high velocity liquid stream between an internal cylinder and the filter screen provides continuous wash down of particles to the bypass line. With a ball valve (B) underneath the filter cup the bypass flow can be regulated or closed.
A 50 mesh filter (red) is fitted as standard. This filter has a mesh width of 280 micron (0.28 mm) and is suitable for flat fan nozzles of the 02 type (or comparable sizes) and larger. A finer 80 mesh filter (blue) can be fitted for smaller nozzles. This filter has a mesh width of 180 micron (0.18 mm).
The filter still must be cleaned regularly. This can be done by unscrewing the bypass line and filter cup and removing the filter element. Regular cleaning of the filter will prevent silting up, which could break the filter.
