How the Thread Filter MT33P works
The MT-33P Thread filters
remove dirt particles as water
flows through the multi-layered
thread cassettes (5) to the
collecting pipes (3) and out of
the filter via outlets (4). Dirt
particles that accumulate on and
in between the thread layers
cause a pressure differential,
and at a preset level or time
interval, the control unit (6)
activates the self-cleaning cycle:
• The inlet and outlet valves
(7, 8) close, and the drain (9)
and flushing valves (10) open.

 How the Thread Filter MTG works

The MTG Thread filters remove
dirt particles as water flows
through the multi-layered thread
cassettes (5) to the collecting
pipes (3) and out of the filter via
outlets (4). Dirt particles
accumulate on and in between
the thread layers causing a
differential pressure and at a
preset pressure differential value
or time interval, the control unit
(6) activates the self-cleaning
cycle.
• The inlet and outlet valves
(7, 8) close, and the drain
valve (9) and flushing valve
(10) open.
• The booster pump (11)
delivers the pressurized water
to the shuttle pipe (12). This
pipe carries water to the
nozzles (13) that spray the
surface of the cassette. This
spray, referred to as the
flushing jet stream, penetrates
the thread layers and hits the
plastic support (14). The
returning stream (referred to
as the reject stream) together
with the dirt from the cassettes
flows through the filter
housing and out the filter via
the drain valve (9). The
combined flushing jet and
reject streams ensure 100%
cleaning.
• The piston assembly (15)
propels the linear movement
of the nozzles. When the
linear movement is
completed, the turn
mechanism (16) turns the
cassette to a new index
position and once the
cassettes have completed a
full turn, the filter is clean.
When the cassettes are clean,
the flushing valve (10) and the
drain (9) close. The inlet and
outlet valves (7, 8) open
allowing water to flow through
the filter and the booster pump
(11) stops operating.
