The Automatic cross-flow filter FTS-TOP is fully automated in all stages: from filling to unloading and washing. Consequently, the presence of personnel is not necessarily required during the processing of the system.

The FTS-TOP cross flow filter (F25) is available from 12 to 50 filter modules, either in hollow fiber, or in ceramic fiber.

The full range of Spadoni’s cross-flow systems includes, in addition to the FTS-BE model, two other variants:

1. Spadoni’s FTS-BE cross-flow filter; the basic model, smaller and more compact, ideal for small businesses and available from 1 to 4 modules;
2. Spadoni’s FTS-SA cross-flow filter: semi-automated, with automatic filtration and counter-washing cycles; available from 4 to 12 modules.
