Automatic Self-Cleaning Screen Filters
Our Guiding Principle
Automatic Self-Cleaning Efficiency
At Equeron®, we manufacture high-quality industrial automatic self-cleaning screen filters with top grade materials and tight tolerances to remove suspended solids, protect downstream equipment, and reduce maintenance costs . There are no electric motors, limit switches, or hydraulic pistons. No power is required as existing water pressure powers the cleaning cycle. Industrial-grade corrosion resistance is the standard, built to survive aggressive water environments.
How it works
The Equilibrium Drive ®
Proven Reliability
Hundreds of installations worldwide in a variety of industries.
Lower Maintanence
Fewer moving parts means less wear and less downtime.
Water Efficient
Minimal 15 second backwash volume saves water and costs.
Built to Last
304 or 316L pickled and passivated stainless steel with double side butt weld construction.
Wide Filtration Range
Flow rates up to 1,000 m³/hr per filter (4,400 GPM). Higher flow rates with multiple parallel units.
Variable Screen Size
Filtration screens are interchangeable from 10 to 1,5000 micron.
Drop-in VAF Filter Replacement
Equeron® filters are designed, manufactured, and managed by the original VAF Filter engineers. Equeron® filters are designed to be the next generation of bi-directional drive filtration called the Equilibrium Drive® technology. Equeron® filters are designed as drop-in replacements in existing VAF automatic screen filter installations.
Drop-in Replacement
Similar technology/same footprint means no changes to existing pipe and controls.
Precision Design
Tighter tolerances mean less wear, less maintenance, and extended product life.
Robust Construction
3 x thicker body with double-side butt welds, larger components, reduced forces, and no crevices for corrosion.
Easier Maintenance
Designed with 25 years field experience with the previous bi-directional drive (reverser) filtration technology.
Improved Performance
Larger capacity, hydraulically superior.
Industrial Applications
Explore the industries where Equeron® water filters help protect equipment, reduce maintenance, and keep operations running reliably.
Agriculture
Stops sediment and organics from clogging drip lines and sprinklers.
Golf & Turf
Ensures uniform turf irrigation by preventing nozzle blockages.
Metal Processing
Captures scale and particulates to safeguard pumps, valves, and heat exchangers.
Mining
Withstands abrasive slurries while removing solids that damage process piping.
