The Pneumatic Cylinder Scraper Filter is an automatic self-cleaning filtration system designed for continuous removal of solid particles and impurities from high-viscosity liquids. Driven by a pneumatic cylinder, the scraper mechanism efficiently removes accumulated contaminants from the filter element surface without interrupting the filtration process.
UNITE FILTER pneumatic cylinder scraper filters are suitable for challenging applications involving viscous fluids such as polymers, resins, coatings, adhesives, oils, and chemical liquids. The robust scraper design ensures reliable cleaning performance, reduces filter blockage, and extends the service life of filter elements.
With high filtration accuracy, low maintenance requirements, and reliable automatic operation, the Pneumatic Cylinder Scraper Filter provides an efficient solution for industrial filtration processes requiring continuous operation and stable performance.
During filtration, the process liquid enters the filter housing and passes through the filter element from the outside to the inside. Solid particles and impurities are captured on the outer surface of the filter element, gradually forming a filter cake layer.
When the pressure differential reaches the preset value, the pneumatic cylinder drives the scraper mechanism to move along the filter element surface. The scraper removes the accumulated contaminants and restores the filtration area. The cleaned impurities are discharged through the drain outlet, while filtration continues with minimal interruption.

A Pneumatic Cylinder Scraper Filter is an automatic self-cleaning filtration system that uses a pneumatic cylinder to drive a scraper mechanism, removing accumulated solids from the filter surface without stopping the process.
During filtration, solids are retained on the filter element. When cleaning is triggered by pressure difference or timer, a pneumatic cylinder activates the scraper, which moves along the filter surface to remove debris. The waste is then discharged through a drain outlet.
Key advantages include stable automatic cleaning, precise control via compressed air, suitability for continuous operation, reduced manual maintenance, and strong performance in handling sticky or high-solid-content fluids.
These systems are widely used in chemical processing, petrochemicals, coatings and resins, oil refining, food and beverage, and wastewater treatment industries where continuous filtration and reliable cleaning are required.
Pneumatic scraper filters use compressed air-driven cylinders for precise and responsive cleaning control, while mechanical scraper filters rely on motors or gear systems. Pneumatic systems are often faster and more adaptable for automated processes.
