MAXI-FLUSH | SCREEN FILTERS

PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS
General: The filtration system shall remove suspended solids down to 75 microns in size depending upon screen
mesh selection. Screen options offered are 40, 60, 80, 100 and 150 mesh. Pressure drop through the
filter at maximum rated flow shall not exceed 5 PSI. Flow rate required to be specified by designer.

The Yardney Maxi-Flush Screen Filter is an automatic backwashing screen filter system. Backwashing
shall be accomplished using clean filtered water. The Maxi-Flush Screen Filter shall be configured with
at least two filter vessels per system to permit backwashing with clean filtered water.

Filter Filter vessels shall be fabricated of carbon steel and be lined with fusion bonded epoxy. Each filter
Vessels: vessel shall feature a safety seal fusion epoxy lined lid which is removable for cartridge inspection and
servicing. Filter vessels shall be rated for a maximum working pressure of 150 PSI. Minimum operating
pressure shall be 40 PSI.

Piping: The filter system shall be provided with fusion epoxy lined carbon steel inlet and outlet piping. Piping
shall be connected with grooved type couplings. Inlet and outlet connections are grooved or flanged.

Valving: Each filter vessel shall be supplied with an automatic Yardney backwash valve. The valve shall be the
Yardney patented (U.S. Patent No. 4,262,698) backwash valve of cast iron construction with fusion
epoxy lining on all wetted surfaces. The valve shall incorporate the use of a replaceable polyurethane
valve seal and replaceable brass valve guide assembly. The valve shaft shall be double "O" ring
protected from dirt and contamination. The valve shaft and valve seal retainers shall be stainless steel.
The valve shall be water powered by the Yardney diaphragm operated actuator assembly. The valve
shall feature a self-lubricating grease cavity with external grease fitting for lubrication.

Filter The filter cartridge shall be of a rigid Type 304 stainless steel design. The cartridge shall be constructed
Cartridge: of continuously wound stainless steel wire welded to rigid reinforcement members. Burst strength shall
be a minimum of 400 PSI. The cartridge is intended to be a permanent part of the system and should
not normally require replacement. Cleaning of the cartridge shall be accomplished by reversing the flow
of the filter and backwashing out accumulated contaminants. The cartridge shall be coated on its ends
with a protective rubber coating for protection from sharp metal edges. A molded rubber gasket shall be
fitted to each cartridge end for sealing of the cartridge assembly. Automatic backwashing of the cartridge
shall be accomplished through the use of the Yardney automatic backwash control system.

Automatic The filter system shall include an automatic control system to monitor filter performance and to
Backwash Backwash automatically initiate backwashing when required. The solid state controller will monitor filter
Control operation on the basis of elapsed time and pressure differential. When preset pressure differential or
System: elapsed time values are reached, the controller will initiate a backwashing sequence. The controller will
allow for frequency of flush settings from 15 minutes up to a maximum of 24 hours. Flush duration and
delay between filter vessels flushing may be set by the user. A pressure differential switch with a range
up to 20 PSI is also provided. The controller will initiate a backwash based upon elapsed time or
pressure differential; whichever event occurs first. Controllers shall be 110 VAC powered.

Backwashing: The filter system is designed to provide for filtered water backwash. The filter system will continue to
process water during backwash and shall not require an outside water source for the backwash function.

Fusion Bonded The filter vessels, piping and valving shall be lined with Yardney Bonded Type 134 fusion bonded epoxy.
Epoxy Lining: All metal surfaces shall be sandblasted to a white metal condition prior to epoxy application. Metal
surfaces shall be preheated to 450°F prior to electrostatic application of the powder coating. After
coating application parts shall be cured at 400°F for a minimum of 20 minutes. Application shall provide
an even holiday free lining of the thermoset epoxy powder coating 8-10 mils. thick. The coating material
is nontoxic and is approved for potable water application.
