Automatic Self-Cleaning Water Filters for Sugar

Reliable Water Filtration for Sugar Growers & Processors

In sugar manufacturing, water filtration is critical at every stage — from growing to juice clarification to syrup concentration and cooling water reuse. Blockages, clogging, and inconsistent pressure drops in traditional filters slow down processing and increase operational costs. Tekleen automatic self cleaning water filters provide a self-cleaning maintenance-free solution, designed to withstand the high temperatures, viscous materials, and non-stop demands of sugar production facilities.

Tekleen filters operate at up to 150 psi and temperatures over 200°F, with stainless steel screens capable of removing particles down to 2 microns. The self-cleaning cycle is activated when a preset pressure differential is met and occurs without interrupting the flow, minimizing downtime while saving labor, energy, and water.

Modernizing Sugar Mill Filtration:
Tekleen's Strategic Advantage

Most traditional sugar mill water filtration systems rely on filter aids and large-scale mechanical installations. These setups take up floor space, require extensive maintenance, and lead to high operating costs.

Tekleen offers a smarter alternative:

Compact Footprint – Saves space and simplifies integration into existing lines
Automated Operation – Frees operators to focus on production, not filtration maintenance
No Filter Media Replacements – Eliminates recurring consumable costs and disposal concerns
Predictable Output – Maintains consistent pressure, flow, and water clarity without manual adjustment
Energy & Water Efficiency – Reduces water waste and energy use across operations
