Backwashing filters
July 1st 2006

To reduce the maintenance costs of its filters, Rosedale Products has developed a backwashing bag type fluid filter in which pressurised air can be released into the inside of the filter bag in the opposite direction to the normal filtering flow. Accumulated particulate contaminant on the surface of the bag is dislodged and transported to a safe location.

Units can be cycled through many backwashes, hundreds in some cases, before any further servicing is required. This means filter bags that are normally disposed of when full can be reused many times. Rosedale Backwashing Filters use standard 762mm long filter bags made from any of the standard media types.
