Zero Gravity Filters

The EasyClean line is completely modular and ranges from a single pod and filter element to an unlimited number of pods. Due to its design, the EasyClean can be backwashed with system fluid as standard or easily modified to allow for an external backwash supply. As standard, Zero Gravity Filters offers the EasyClean pod in carbon steel, 304 stainless steel, and 316 stainless steel.

The Phoenix is recommended for mid-range flow rate applications between 50-250 gpm and offers uninterrupted flow during backwash. Economical and compact, the Phoenix filter is the ideal answer to many filtration applications. Fabricated from stainless steel and engineered plastics it is fully compatible with a wide range of liquids, and operating conditions up to 200ºF and 150 psi. The filter’s 3" flanged connections accommodate flow rates up to 250 gpm. It features 3 modes of backwash control: differential pressure, timer or manual override. The backwash of the Phoenix is accomplished by rotating a polyacetal “shoe ” on the diverting valve, powered by either a 24 VDC motor/gearbox assembly (Electro-Pneumatic Model) or a pneumatic actuator indexing a pair of dog clutches (Pneumatic Model). The controls are either contained within the filter for compactness or in a wall mounted NEMA enclosure for hazardous, wet and hot applications.

The System 2000 modular in design, fabricated from stainless steel and utilizing a state-of-the-art PLC control system, is an ideal filtration solution for many medium to high flow rate applications. The System 2000 is comprised of an unlimited number of pods. Each pod contains seven filter elements and each pod is connected between stainless steel inlet, outlet and backwash manifolds. Pneumatically operated backwash valves and a separate wall mounted enclosure make the System 2000 ideal for hazardous and wet applications. Due to its design, the System 2000 can be modified to allow for an external backwash supply.

The Maggie is a high intensity magnetic separator with automatic purging capabilities. The Maggie is fitted in-line, using system pressure, requiring no additional pumps. The magnets are sealed in a thin walled stainless steel tube. The magnetic tube contains several magnet/pole combinations. Each magnet/pole combination generates 9,000 Gauss on the tube’s surface. Magnetic tubes are then assembled into different sized separators to accommodate the flow rate/loading characteristics of the application. For example, a 10 core Maggie has a total of 80 magnet/poles, and a total magnetic surface area of 250 sq. in. While in ‘separation mode’ the particles are held on the outside of the magnetic tube, below the separator plate. Particles are allowed to accumulate on the outside of the tube. Tests have shown that the debris can increase to ½” thick. Purging ‘Maggie’ requires no mechanical moving parts. Fitted on the outlet of the separator is a valve arrangement, which during purge will shut the discharge and open the flush port. The magnets are then shuttled within the tube, above the separator plate. Flow from the top of the separator flushes debris to waste. This process takes approximately 5 seconds.
