4. DESCRIPTION & OPERATION
Disc Filtration Technology
Amiad Water Systems uses a specially designed disc filtration technology. Thin, color-coded
polypropylene/ nylon discs are diagonally grooved on both sides to a specific micron size. A series of these
discs are then stacked and compressed on a specially designed spine. When stacked, the groove on top runs
opposite to the groove below, creating a filtration element with a statistically significant series of valleys and
traps for solids. The stack is enclosed in corrosion and pressure resistant housing.
During the filtration process, the filtration discs are tightly compressed together by a spring power and
differential pressure, thus providing high filtration efficiency. Filtration occurs while water is percolation from
the outer diameter to the inner diameter of the element. Depending on the micron rating, there are from 18
(in 400 micron discs) to 32 (in 20 micron discs) stopping points in each track, thus creating the unique in-depth
filtration.

Spin Klin Technology
Spin Klin Spine - The Core of the Spin Klin Filtration System
The Spin Klin® discs are stacked on the Spin Klin® spine. The discs
are color-coded according to micron size and are assembled to suit
the water filtration requirements. The spine assembly has a spring
compression unit and an internal piston, which operate during alternate
filtration or back-flush modes. Inside the housing the spring and the
pressure difference compress the discs tightly during the filtration
process, forcing the water to flow between the grooves and trap the solids.
Spin Klin Automatic Back-flush Operation
Activated by an external command (differ ential pressure or time)
alternate units of the Spin Klinsystem go into back-flush mode. The
inlet three-way valve closes the inlet to the filter pod and opens
the drain. The outlet three-way valve closes the outlet of the filter
pod and opens the external source. During the back-flush process, the
compression spring is released and the pressure difference is
eliminated . The spine piston rises, releasing the pressure on the discs.
Tangential jets of clean water are pumped at high pressure in the
opposite direction through nozzles at the center of the spine. The discs
spin free and clear, loosening the trapped solids. Solids are quickly
and efficiently flushed out through the drain.

Modes of the filter’s Control valve
Filtration Position:
Inlet valve - Water flows from port [2] (main supply) to port [C] (filter connection). Port [1] (drain water outlet)
is closed by the seal.
Outlet valve - Water flows from port [C] to port [2]. Port [1] is closed by the seal.
Back-flush Position:
Inlet valve - Command pressure is applied to the diaphragm’s control chamber through port [D]. The diaphragm
moves the sealed shaft, port [2] closes, preventing flow to the filter. Port [C] opens, allowing flushing water to
flow from port [C] (filter connection) to the drain [1].
Outlet valve - Command pressure is applied to the diaphragm’s control chamber through port [D]. The
diaphragm moves the sealed shaft, port [2] closes, port [1] opens, allowing flushing water to flow to port [C].
