The Eaton DCF-3000 is the largest, most robust mechanically cleaned filter system available in the DCF product line. While Eaton does manufacture physically larger footprint units (such as the MCS-500 and MCS-1500 lines), those systems are strictly built for coarse liquid straining (macro filtration). By contrast, the DCF-3000 is precision-engineered for fine particulate separation and highly viscous slurries, capable of supporting filtration media ranging from an ultra-fine 15 microns up to ¼".
The secret to its high-viscosity performance lies in its dual linear actuator design. Equipped with twin 4" bore pneumatic actuators acting upon a single drive shaft , the system generates the immense mechanical downward force required to propel dual spring-loaded Delrin® cleaning discs through thick, dense slurries at extremely high flow rates.
Constructed completely of 316 Stainless Steel wetted parts with a smooth, glass bead blasted exterior, this unit delivers unyielding reliability. Supported by a 304 Stainless Steel filter stand, it operates smoothly without disposable media, protecting your downstream systems from blockages while drastically cutting maintenance overhead.
Proven Application Durability: In food & beverage environments, the DCF-3000 has a documented history of continuous operation. One frozen food processor relies on the DCF-3000 filtering 75-micron particles from -5°F propylene glycol solutions—operating 24/7 for over 3 years without a single maintenance downtime incident.
