HDF Series Disc Filters
Automatic self-cleaning disc filtration equipment
Rain Bird disc filter is a type of irrigation filter, similar to a screen filter, except that the filter cartridge is made up of a number of discs stacked on top of each other like a pile of poker chips.
The filtration element consists of grooved discs, mounted on a spine, forming a cylindrical filter element. The water passes through the small grooves in between the discs which are compressed together by a spring located at the bottom of the filter cover and the impurities are trapped behind. Disc filters can be backflushed in such a way that the discs are able to separate and spin during the cleaning cycle.
Rain Bird Corporation supplies custom configured disc filters from 50 GPM to 4000 GPM.

Features
Automatic self-cleaning disc filtration equipment with 2" valves and high density polyethylene manifolds
Ideal for surface and well water containing both organic (algae) and inorganic materials: rivers, reservoirs, canals, waste water, and well water containing light sand (<3PPM) and other contaminants
The patented system's helical action provides efficient cleaning
Manufactured from engineered plastics to resist rust and corrosion from chemicals and water
All units are factory tested prior to shipment
Disc elements provide depth filtration -not just surface filtration
Unit is pre-assembled with HDPE (High –density polyethylene) manifold for easy installation
DP, time or manual backflush cycle can be imitated from the controller
Plastic backflush valves are lightweight and corrosion resistant
Low maintenance and performs reliable backflush
Filtration disc versatility (filtration grades can be easily changed)
Available with 100, 130, 200 or 400 micron discs (specify when ordering)
Rain Bird HDF Series 1X2 filter backwash
FILTRATION STAGE: As water goes through the discs, particles are projected away due to the cyclone effect, reducing the backflushing frequency
BACKFLUSHING STAGE: Water is projected through the discs, expelling the retained particles and evacuating them through the drainage manifold while the rest of the equipment is still in the filtration stage, supplying the remaining installation
Rain Bird HDF Series-2 systems backwashes one station at a time while the remaining elements continue filtering
FILTRATION STAGE: As water goes through the discs, particles are projected away and kept in suspension due to the cyclone effect, reducing the backflushing frequency
BACKFLUSHING STAGE: Water is projected through the discs, expelling the retained particles and evacuating them through the drainage manifold. The rest of the filters battery continue filtering. The filtration process restarts when the discs recompress. The backflush process is controlled by the Rain Bird Control Unit
