BACKWASH ARRANGEMENT FOR CLEANING A CYLINDRICAL FILTER SCREEN

摘要

A backwash arrangement for cleaning a cylindrical filter screen includes a cylindrical filter screen within which extends an axial central conduit. A number of radial branch conduits extend outwards from the central conduit towards the cylindrical filter screen, each provided with a spring-loaded nozzle arrangement. The spring-loaded nozzle arrangement is biased into contact with the cylindrical filter screen, and includes a nozzle opening for passing across the cylindrical filter screen, and a pair of wheels deployed on opposing sides of the nozzle opening for rolling engagement with the cylindrical filter screen.
