Automatic Backflushing Filters and Strainers
For a complete listing of Schroeder Industries’ Automatic Backflushing Filters and Strainers, click here.
Schroeder’s Automatic Backflushing Filters are designed to provide continuous process filtration for low-viscosity liquids, including water, emulsions, fuels, and coolants. As contaminants are captured, a controlled self-cleaning mechanism automatically cleans the reusable cone-shaped filter elements, reducing maintenance while maintaining continuous system operation.
By protecting critical process equipment and reducing contamination, Automatic Backflushing Filters help deliver:
- Longer equipment life
- Reduced use of disposable filter bags and cartridges
- Extended component and system service life
- Improved production efficiency
- Higher-quality filtered media
- Lower maintenance and operating costs
Automatic Backflushing Filters help lower overall operating costs by reducing maintenance requirements, minimizing labor, and decreasing the need for disposable filtration media. Because the filters use a controlled backflush process with a low volume of backwash, they also help reduce waste and lessen the environmental impact of routine filtration.
For organizations focused on improving operational efficiency and sustainability, Automatic Backflushing Filters provide a reliable solution that supports both production goals and environmental initiatives.

Self-Cleaning Functioning Within Filters and Strainers
Schroeder’s Automatic Backflushing Filters feature an integrated self-cleaning system that continuously removes particulate contamination while minimizing maintenance.
As contaminants accumulate on the reusable filter elements, the system automatically initiates a controlled backflush cycle. This process thoroughly cleans the cone-shaped filter elements while preventing captured contaminants from re-entering the process fluid, helping maintain consistent filtration performance and system reliability.
For applications that require scheduled cleaning cycles, Schroeder also offers an adjustable timer that allows operators to initiate backflushing at user-defined intervals. Timed filtration helps conserve energy, reduce unnecessary backwash cycles, and optimize system performance based on operational requirements.
For added convenience, all Automatic Backflush Filter control panels include:
- An adjustable timer for scheduled backflush cycles
- A manual cycle-start button for operator-initiated cleaning
- Easily accessible controls located within the control panel
Cone-Shaped Filter Elements for Maximum Filtration Performance
Schroeder’s reusable cone-shaped filter elements are engineered to maximize filtration surface area while supporting efficient automatic self-cleaning. Their unique design promotes even flow distribution across the entire filter element, helping reduce pressure drop and ensuring contaminants are captured uniformly.
Designed specifically for isokinetic filtration and backflushing, these filter elements maintain consistent filtration performance while supporting reliable, continuous operation in demanding industrial applications.
What Is A Backwash Filter? 
A backwash filter is a self-cleaning filtration system that automatically removes particulate contamination from process fluids without interrupting normal operation. As contaminants accumulate on the filter element, the system initiates a controlled backwash cycle to clean the element and maintain consistent filtration performance.
Contamination in process fluids can reduce product quality, accelerate component wear, and shorten the service life of critical equipment. Effective filtration helps protect pumps, valves, heat exchangers, and other process components while improving system reliability and operational efficiency.
Schroeder’s Automatic Backflushing Filters provide continuous filtration and reliable contamination control, helping facilities reduce maintenance, extend equipment life, and maintain consistent production quality.
