An intelligent system that adapts to your material and fully optimizes the work cycle.

How RAS works

Two internal blades scrape away the contamination retained by the filter, while the scraper collects it and directs it to the discharge device.
Once the cycle is complete, the contaminated material is automatically discharged through the front valve.

The system can operate in two modes:

Pressure mode

When the set pressure is reached, the scraper begins to rotate at the selected speed, collects contamination, and opens the valve only at the end of a full rotation, ensuring a clean and effective operation.

Continuous mode

In case of high contamination, the scraper rotates constantly at low speed, while the front valve opens only when necessary, managed by a timer that regulates the discharge intervals.

Definition, characteristics, and regulatory application

Cookies are small text files that the user's visited websites send and store on their computer or mobile device, to be transmitted back to the same websites upon subsequent visits. Thanks to cookies, a website remembers the user's actions and preferences (such as login data, language preference, font size, etc.) so that these parameters do not have to be set again on each new visit. Therefore, cookies are used for computer authentication, session monitoring, and storing information about the activities of users accessing a site. They can also contain a unique identification code that allows tracking of the user's navigation within the site for statistical or advertising purposes.
