BOLLFILTER Automatic
TYPE 6.64
The Compact Design Multichamber Filter
THE TASK
Uninterrupted Filtration without
Pressure Loss
When it comes to guaranteeing long-term trouble-free
operation of internal combustion engines or processing
plants, consistent operating conditions are an important
factor in both cases. By protecting moving parts against
wear and tear you maximize their service life. At the same
time it is also important to keep wastage of operational
fluids to an absolute minimum. Two aspects that play a
key role here are the cleanliness of the liquid fuels, lubri-
cants or coolants used and maintenance of a constant
operating pressure. Automatic high performance filters
are used in industry today to guarantee both these factors.
Key requirements that such filters have to meet are:
• Adequate filtering capacity
• Guarantee of purity for the filtrate
• Guaranteed integrity of system pressure
• Unsupervised 24/7 operation
• Minimum waste maximum efficiency
• Minimal maintenance and low running costs
The BOLLFILTER
Automatic TYPE 6.64
can be used for a wide
range of purposes,
e.g. for filtering diesel
engine lubricants,
... for filtering fuels or
... for filtering coolants in
machining plants and
transfer lines

THE SOLUTION
Backflushing in tandem with filtration
In filtration mode the fluid to be filtered enters the lower flushing process. An electric gear motor turns the selec-
inlet connection of the filter housing, then flows into tor mechanism to the next contaminated chamber and

THE SUPPLEMENT
Filtration of the backflushing liquid
An optional backflushing liquid recovery unit is available
as a pre-fitted flanged-on option. The supplementary unit
consists of a depth type cartridge filter, a backflushing
liquid sump and differential pressure indicator/switch.
The size of the sump varies in accordance with the quan-
tity of fluid discharged from a particular size of filter.
After being backflushed, the fluid in the sump is forced
through the cartridge filter by means of compressed air.
The contaminants are filtered out by the cartridge and
fully removed for the system by disposing of the mainte-
nance-friendly filter cartridges. A differential pressure indi-
cator indicates when the filter cartridge needs replacing.
The recovery and return of the cleaned fluid to the fluid
circuit prevents production of large quantities of back-
flush discharge or sludge and removes the need to install BOLLFILTER Automatic TYPE 6.64.07 DN 400
