One of the disadvantages of drip irrigation devices is the risk of emissions clogging, so farming uses a series of Drip Irrigation Filters to separate particles containing irrigation water that can cause such clogging.

Types of Drip Irrigation Filters

The Drip Irrigation Filters are classified into the following types:

Filters area:

They are used to remove organic materials such as algae and coarse particles through a thick layer of sand contained in the filter through which is passed the water for filtration.

Hydrocyclones:

Performing particle separation from water by the effect of centrifugal force generated by the vortex, so heavy particles as the sand which can contain irrigation water are moved towards the walls after falling on the deposit placed in the bottom.

They are used when you have sand in suspension displayed in waters from deep wells.

Mesh filters:

the water is filtered by a mesh, which is defined by the number of openings per linear inch or mesh number. The particles larger than the size of the mesh openings are retained in the filter.

They are effective for lightly soiled waters with materials of inorganic origin of silt and sand size.

Mesh filters come in three forms, depending on the cleaning system having, manual, semiautomatic and automatic.

Authomatic

Manual

Semiautomatic.

These teams may possess self-cleaning systems, which perform cleaning by automatic backwash operations or manually in the case of mesh filters, rings and hydrocyclones.

Semi-automatic systems have mechanisms cleaned by backwashing operations through operation of this mechanism.

irrigation sand filter

The filtration system in the irrigation sand filter is composed of one or more standard high-speed filtration units. The raw water passes through the internal water distributor and filter layer collector, and the filter layer medium is used to effectively remove suspended solids and reduce the turbidity of water quality (if the specific filter materials such as activated carbon and anthracite are loaded, the corresponding organic matter and harmful ions can also be adsorbed and removed).
