More than filtration

Designed around the fluid circuit.

Smart brings regenerative filtration, hydraulic control and cleaner concentrate handling into one coherent architecture. The objective is lower intervention and a more stable operating environment - not a short-life consumable cycle.

RegenerateSequential cleaning supports long-life filter operation and controlled availability.
StabilisePressure, flow and operating history create a clearer view of system behaviour.
RecoverBackwash concentrate is directed to an application-appropriate recovery, dewatering or optional compaction route.
Operating logic

Filtration and regeneration, chamber by chamber.

The diagram explains the intended hydraulic sequence. Final valve logic, pressures and cycle parameters are defined from the real fluid and application.

DIRTY FLUIDCLEAN FLUID CONCENTRATE 010203

Normal filtration

Contaminated fluid is distributed across the active chambers. Solids accumulate on the outer surface while clean fluid passes into the clean circuit.

  1. Dirty fluid enters the lower manifold from the right.
  2. Fluid rises through the regenerative elements, from the lower part of each vessel.
  3. Filtered fluid collects in the upper manifold.
  4. Clean fluid leaves the system toward the left.

Sequential regeneration

One chamber is isolated and cleaned while the remaining chambers support the circuit. The released concentrate follows a controlled waste-handling path.

  1. The control logic identifies a chamber requiring regeneration.
  2. Valves isolate that chamber from normal dirty-fluid flow.
  3. Clean fluid reverses through the element to release the filter cake.
  4. The chamber returns gradually to service after performance recovery is checked.

Conceptual sequence only. Final hydraulic design and control parameters are application-specific.

System architecture

Four layers. One managed circuit.

Smart is configured around the machine, fluid and contaminant profile - not forced into a generic installation.

01 / CORE

Regenerative filtration

Independent chambers and long-life elements create the physical foundation of the system.

02 / FLOW

Hydraulic control

Pumps, valves and sensors manage pressure, flow and the transition between operating states.

03 / RECOVERY

Concentrate handling

Released solids are directed to a basket, secondary separation or an optional concentrate and sludge-compaction module, subject to application assessment.

04 / LOGIC

Control and evidence

Operating history supports alarms, diagnostics, service decisions and progressive optimisation.

Application pathways

Configured around the machining process.

Fluid, contaminant, required cleanliness and machine duty determine the final Smart configuration. Explore the four priority application routes.
