Disc Filtration Technology
Amiad Water Systems uses a specially designed disc filtration technology. Thin, color-coded
polypropylene discs are diagonally grooved on both sides to a specific micron size. A series of these
discs are then stacked and compressed on a specially designed spine. When stacked, the groove on top
runs opposite to the groove below, creating a filtration element with a statistically significant series of
ridges and valleys, which trap the solids. The stack is enclosed in a corrosion proof and pressure
resistant housing
.
During the filtration process, the filtration discs are tightly compressed together by the spring’s power
and the differential pressure, thus providing high filtration efficiency. Filtration occurs while water is
percolates from the outer diameter to the inner diameter of the element. Depending on the micron
rating, there are from 18 (in 400 micron discs) to 32 (in 20 micron discs) stopping points in each track,
thus creating the unique in-depth filtration
.
