· No Limitations on Flow rates.

· No Limitations on Dirt Load.

· No Supervision required.

The debris laden dirty fluid enters the strainer’s large bottom chamber where the line velocity gets reduced. Flow continues upward passing in a radial manner through the “sealed” screen element.

Unwanted materials are trapped on the inside of the filter element screen. The fluid keeps getting filtered and comes out clean through the outlet nozzle. As the filter screen gets loaded with dirt, the differential pressure keep raising.

There is hollow full flow backwash arm extending the full length of the filter element. This can rotate and is piped to atmosphere through a backwash valve.

When the differential pressure crosses the pre-set limits. The backwash valve opens the system to atmosphere causing a high velocity reverse flow across the isolated section of screen. Dirt and debris are flushed out from this segment of the screen into the backwash arm and out of the strainer via the backwash piping.

During the backwashing cycle the main flow is uninterrupted and continues to be strained in the normal manner. The control system would automatically close the backwash valve after the screen is cleaned.

These units can also be operated manually from the control panel or in continuous backwash mode.

Champion Fish Tails provide relatively high velocity of extraction over a small part of area.

Champion Fish Tails are more applied for extraction of welding fumes and removal of oil mist for certain types of unguarded machine tools. They can be mounted so that they may be moved either on a swinging arm or by a magnetic clamp and should no way affect the operation undertaken.

Apart from Fish Tails Champion offers the following products for Fume Extraction and Filtration.

· Hoods

· Enclosures

· Lip Extractors

Champion Filters experience in hydraulic filtration has enabled the company to adapt its standard hydraulic filter models to handle water-based fluids commonly used in long wall and conventional underground applications.

By treating or coating filter components and incorporating stainless steel media cleanable elements, our proven filters work equally well at removing contaminants from 95/5 and other emulsions.

Included in this line of water service filters are offerings for high pressure, return line and in-tank installations.

Our High Capacity Duplex Strainer has a six-way valve that allows 700gpm flow rate capacity when the valve is in the middle position.

Our High Capacity Duplex water service filter can alternatively be run as a true duplex, diverting all flow through one side and allowing filter elements to be replaced in the other.

Champion supplies all types of idlers for trouble free conveyor operations. A wide range of ‘sealed for life’ type idlers, either with seize resistant or deep groove ball bearings, are manufactured and supplied to suit specific requirements and applications.

Both fixed bracket type (in-line & staggered) idlers and garland type idlers with roll diameters from 76.1 mm to 219.1 mm are manufactured by CHAMPION. All fixed bracket idlers will be drop in slot type. Slotted holes will be provided at the base of the idlers bracket to permit adjustment up to 5 mm on each side of the true centre for training of the belt. All idlers conform strictly to IS:8598.

The idlers are provided with sufficient quantity of servo grade grease and sealed for life. Special type bearing housing are made out of deep drawn quality steel sheets, idler rollers are made with ERW black tubes conforming to IS:9295. The out of roundness of the rollers will be within +/- 0.5mm. Tubes are cut into required lengths and both ends are bored to required accuracy and to achieve concentricity. The bearing housings are made out of deep drawn quality steel sheets. The pressed steel bearing housings are made in precisely manufactured dies in hydraulic press to precise tolerances having a minimum thickness as indicated at the bearing seats. These housings are then accurately machined to tolerance for correct seating of bearings and fitment at the roller ends. The idler spindles are made from EN-8 or C-40 conforming to BS:970 or IS:1570 respectively. The spindles are precision machined to the specific tolerances. The inner seal, labyrinth seal comprising of inner and outer rings and inner dust seal are of Nylon 6 material whereas outer dust seal are pressed from CRCA sheets. The machined housings and the roller tube are placed on a mandrel and the collars are inserted inside the housings over the mandrel to hold the total assembly together. The welding of the machined roller tubes with the housings are carried out simultaneously on both sides with CO₂ welding in a special purpose machine, thereby ensuring a total mono block construction and a rigid roller with two axes of the bearings in line.

Subsequently, the idler spindle, inner seals, bearings, labyrinth rings, dust seals, and cir-clips are assembled in sequence. After the rollers are fully assembled, random sampling and testing are carried out for free rotation, friction factor and water and dust ingress. Idler selection is guided by the type of material handled, belt speed and service requirement

Champion Automatic Valveless Gravity Filters also known as VAG , AGF , VAGF filters use the gradual increase of head loss across the filter to actuate the backwash of filter bed. These filters are known as automatic valveless gravity filters.

Sand is used as filtering media and works on the principal of gravity filtration without any valve, pilot mechanisms, rate controllers, gauges and air compressors. There are two compartments, one for filtering section and other for storage of wash water.

During normal operation water gets filtered while traveling across the sand bed. During filtration suspended solids gets accumulated in the filter bed and differential pressure start increasing which causes the water level to rise in the backwash pipe. When the water level reaches the top of the loop, siphon action starts and backwash begins. Wash water flows from the storage compartment through the sand bed and is discharged through the back wash pipe. A siphon breaker ends the wash cycle.

Design parameters :

Effluent quality : First the quality of effluent desired is considered to design the filter. The selection of filter media for an effluent quality of 0.1 JTU is different than what is required for 1.0 JTU.

Flow rate : Flow rate through the filter is critical, since it limits the throughout put and dictates the number of filters required. Generally as flow rate increases, penetration into the filter increases.

Water Temperature : Water temperature affects the filter performance due to viscosity. Filtration is better at higher temperature whereas backwashing is better with cold water as increased viscosity more effectively scours the filter bed to remove solids.

As the media starts to load with solids, the net velocity at a given flow rate increases until shear forces tear the solids apart and they escape into the effluent. All manual backwash filters have to be backwashed before this happens hence they need to be monitored.
