cleaning backwash mechanism
Mini Sigma is Amiad’s latest automatic self-cleaning
plastic lter. This durable, lightweight lter offers maxi-
mum installation exibility. The lter can be used any-
where in the water system, so lter screens no longer
have to be manually cleaned. Several lters can easily be
placed in parallel, so unlimited capacities are possible.
GENERAL
Amiad’s Mini Sigma lter is the latest addition to our
portfolio. It is a small, lightweight plastic lter with a long
service life. The lter is quick and easy to install, simple
to operate, and requires minimal maintenance. The Mini
Sigma lter was developed for use at low pressure, with
a capacity of up to 80 m³/h and with 7 ltration degrees
from 50-500 microns. The lter contains a 40-mm (1.5”)
ush valve. The low pressure and high contamination
storage capacity means savings in operational costs.

THE FILTRATION PROCESS
Untreated water enters through the coarse lter on
the inlet side, and then passes through the lter screen
from the inside and the clean water coming through the
outside of the screen then leaves the lter housing.
The gradual accumulation of contamination on the
inside of the lter screen creates a lter cake. As the
lter cake grows, so does the pressure difference across
the lter. A differential pressure switch (DP) detects the
differential pressure, and activates the cleaning process
when it reaches a pre-set level (0.5 bar).
OUTDOOR CULTIVATION APPLICATION
Mini Sigma lters can be used in outdoor irrigation as
the main lter for various irrigation systems, such as
spinkler irrigation and drip irrigation.
INDOOR CULTIVATION APPLICATION
For irrigation in greenhouses, Mini Sigma lters can
be used as a second/extra lter after, for example, an
SAF lter or media lter, or after the day tank.
