industrial self-cleaning wedge wire filtration system with stainless steel filter housing and motor driven scraper mechanism

Self Cleaning Filter

Self-cleaning filters are used in industrial liquid filtration systems where continuous removal of suspended solids is required without disposable filter cartridges or filter bags. These filtration systems use wedge wire filter elements combined with scraper cleaning mechanisms to maintain stable operation during filtration.

Industrial self-cleaning filtration systems are commonly used in water treatment, coatings, chemicals, oils and process liquids where reliable particle removal and minimal maintenance downtime are essential.

FSC self-cleaning filter range

Choose the right self-cleaning wedge wire filter

The FSC range consists of stainless-steel scraper-type self-cleaning filters for continuous industrial liquid filtration. Models are available from compact DN25 systems through to DN100 high-flow filters, with filtration ratings from approximately 25 to 3000 µm.

Selection should be based on more than flow rate alone. Connection size, liquid viscosity, particle characteristics, solids loading, operating pressure, temperature and required micron rating all influence the correct filter size and configuration.

Compare FSC self-cleaning filter models

Use the table below as an initial selection guide. The stated flow capacities are reference values and should not replace application-specific sizing.

Model Connection Reference flow Micron range Cleaning Best starting point for
FSC-50 DN25 / DN32 / DN40 Up to approx. 3.5 m³/h 25–3000 µm Automatic scraper Compact and lower-flow process filtration
FSC-70 DN50 Up to approx. 13 m³/h 25–3000 µm Automatic scraper Medium-capacity industrial liquid filtration
FSC-110 DN65 Up to approx. 25 m³/h 25–3000 µm Automatic scraper Medium-to-high process flow rates
FSC-175 DN80 Up to approx. 35 m³/h 25–3000 µm Automatic scraper Higher-capacity continuous liquid filtration
FSC-325 DN100 Up to approx. 70 m³/h 25–3000 µm Automatic scraper High-flow industrial filtration systems
FSC-50M 1" BSP / DN25 Up to approx. 3.5 m³/h 25–3000 µm Manual Simple lower-flow manual filtration

Reference flow values depend on the liquid and process conditions and are typically based on water-like liquids at approximately 100 µm. Higher viscosity, finer filtration ratings and increased solids loading can reduce achievable flow. Final sizing should therefore be confirmed for the actual application.

Self-cleaning filter selection by connection size

DN25–DN40 self-cleaning filter

For compact industrial systems and lower flow rates, the FSC-50 provides automatic scraper cleaning with DN25, DN32 and DN40 connection options.

DN50 and DN65 self-cleaning filters

The FSC-70 DN50 and FSC-110 DN65 cover medium industrial flow requirements up to approximately 13 and 25 m³/h respectively.

DN80 and DN100 self-cleaning filters

Higher-flow installations can use the FSC-175 DN80 or the FSC-325 DN100, with reference capacities up to approximately 35 and 70 m³/h.

What information is needed to size an FSC filter?

For accurate selection of an industrial self-cleaning filter, Filtra International evaluates the required flow rate, pipe connection, micron rating, liquid viscosity, solids concentration, particle characteristics, pressure, temperature and chemical compatibility. These parameters determine the required filtration area, filter model, wedge wire opening and cleaning configuration.

FSC self-cleaning filters are commonly applied to industrial water, paints and coatings, adhesives, resins, oils, lubricants, chemicals, solvents, emulsions and other process liquids where continuous solids removal and reduced consumption of disposable filtration media are required.
