Automatic Backwash Wedge Filter 0.5mm Slot 50 GPM Flow Rate 1.5 Inch Threaded Connection
Product Spotlights
Welcome to Anping County Boli Hardware Wiremesh Products Factory, a trusted manufacturer with over 25 years of experience in wire mesh and filtration solutions. Our Automatic Backwash Wedge Filter 0.5mm Slot 50 GPM Flow Rate 1.5 Inch Threaded Connection is engineered to deliver continuous, low-maintenance solids removal for demanding industrial applications. This filter combines precision wedge wire technology with an intelligent self-cleaning mechanism, ensuring consistent flow and minimal downtime. It is an ideal choice for water treatment, food processing, petrochemical, and agricultural irrigation systems.
The wedge wire construction provides a robust, slot-shaped opening that resists clogging and facilitates easy backwashing. With a 0.5mm slot opening, it effectively captures particles down to 500 microns while maintaining a high flow rate of 50 gallons per minute. The 1.5-inch threaded connection simplifies installation into existing piping systems, and the automatic backwash cycle eliminates the need for manual cleaning, saving labor and operational costs.
Key Features & Technical Specifications
- Automatic Backwash System: The filter initiates a self-cleaning cycle when differential pressure reaches a preset level, or on a timed interval, ensuring uninterrupted operation.
- Precision Wedge Wire Screen: V-shaped profile wire creates a continuous slot that minimizes particle entrapment and reduces pressure drop.
- High Flow Capacity: Rated at 50 GPM (189 L/min) under standard conditions, suitable for medium-scale filtration requirements.
- Corrosion-Resistant Materials: Constructed from 304 or 316L stainless steel, offering excellent durability in aggressive environments.
- Threaded Connections: 1.5-inch male/female threaded ends (NPT or BSP available) for easy integration with pipe systems.
- Compact Design: Space-saving footprint with minimal piping modifications required.
- Low Maintenance: No disposable filter cartridges; the wedge screen is reusable and long-lasting.

Design Advantages & Customer Benefits
The automatic backwash function eliminates the need for manual disassembly or replacement of filter media, reducing operator intervention and maintenance costs. The wedge wire screen is designed to withstand high differential pressure and repeated cleaning cycles without deformation. Its smooth, continuous slot profile allows trapped solids to be easily flushed away during backwash, preventing channeling and ensuring consistent filtration efficiency. Compared to conventional mesh or disc filters, the wedge filter offers a longer service life and lower total cost of ownership.
The 0.5mm slot size is versatile for many applications: it can protect downstream equipment from abrasive particles, polish process water, or pre-filter for reverse osmosis systems. The 50 GPM capacity makes it suitable for small to medium-sized industrial lines, irrigation systems, and cooling water circuits. The threaded connection simplifies installation and can be adapted to flange connections with optional adapters.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Q: What is the maximum operating temperature for this filter?
A: The standard stainless steel construction can handle up to 80°C (176°F) continuous. For higher temperatures, please consult our engineering team for material upgrades. -
Q: How does the automatic backwash initiate?
A: The filter is equipped with a differential pressure switch or a programmable timer. When the pressure drop across the screen reaches a preset level (typically 7-10 psi), the backwash valve opens, and the screen is flushed using a small portion of the filtered water or an external source. -
Q: Can the slot size be customized for different filtration needs?
A: Yes, we offer slot sizes ranging from 0.3 mm to 3 mm (300 to 3000 micron). Contact us with your specific requirements. -
Q: What is the backwash water consumption per cycle?
A: Typically less than 2% of the total flow volume. The exact amount depends on the line pressure and duration of the purge cycle, which can be adjusted. -
Q: Is the 1.5-inch connection available in both NPT and BSP threads?
A: Yes, we can supply either NPT (American) or BSP (British) threads. Please specify when ordering. -
Q: How often does the filter need to be manually cleaned?
A: Under normal operation, the automatic backwash keeps the screen clean, so manual cleaning is rarely needed. Periodic inspection of the screen and seals is recommended every 6-12 months. -
Q: What is the warranty period?
A: We offer a standard 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects. Extended warranty options are available upon request. -
Q: Can this filter handle water with high solid content?
A: The 0.5mm slot is suitable for moderate solid loads. For very high turbidity, a pre-sedimentation step or a larger slot size may be recommended. Our sales team can help you select the right configuration.
