RF300AR-E Strainer with Backwash Pump

From £3,130.00 GBP

The RF300AR-E strainer with backwash pump is a self-cleaning suction intake filter, attaching to the suction hose of surface mounted pumps.   They are the same as the RF300AR strainers, but with one difference.

They have a separate motor to drive their internal self-cleaning backwash, so that the cleaning mechanism is driven independently of your surface mounted pump - they have their own integral backwash pump.

This allows you to vary the output of your pump without affecting the performance of the backwash in the filter – useful if you have a variable speed drive on your pump and wish to keep the intake clear.

RF300AR-E Self-cleaning Strainer with Backwash Pump


Description

RF300AR-E Strainer with Backwash Pump

Shiny all 316 stainless steel amazing self-cleaning suction intake filter with itegral automatic backwash.

The Rotorflush RF300AR-E strainer with backwash pump provides suction intake protection for surface mounted pumps and other connected equipment. These are our successful, all 316 stainless steel RF300AR self-cleaning filters built with an internal self-cleaning backwash pump.  The backwash pump keeps the filter mesh free from debris, even if the output of your surface mounted pump varies.

These dirty water suction intake filters have a capacity of up to 150 US GPM or 560 litres a minute, capable of filtering from 50 microns to 6 mm.

RF300AR-E filters are powered by a small submersible pump to drive their internal self-cleaning backwash, so that the cleaning mechanism is driven independently of your surface mounted pump. They can be used where the pump output is variable without compromising the filter’s backwash. The motor continuously backwashes the mesh screen, blowing away anything that might cause it to block, whether your pump is pumping a low or high volume of water.

Coarse and Fine filtration

The RF300AR-E strainer with backwash pump offers both fine and coarse self-cleaning filtration. It is available with sintered stainless-steel mesh for fine filtration (50, 100 and 315 microns). For coarse filtration and compliance with EU Eel regulations, 1, 2, or 3 mm woven stainless-steel filter meshes are available.

When these filters are fitted with 2 mm woven stainless-steel mesh, the maximum flow rate that will comply with current regulations for Eel protection – at an intake velocity of 0.1 metres a second – is 430 litres a minute.  At their maximum flow rate 560 litres a minute (150 US GPM) these screens easily comply with EPA Rule 316 (b).

The twin jets of the cleaning rotor rotate at about 60 rpm in each filter, clearing the whole screen every ½ second.  As the cleaning mechanism is on the filtered side of the filter mesh, debris in the water will not obstruct the mechanism, or affect the backwash pump.

For a higher flow rate, our RF400AR-E self-cleaning filters deliver up to 1,000 litres per minute, and we can custom-build larger self-cleaning filters to your specifications.   For smaller capacities see our RF200 ranges of filters.
