New Electric Linear Actuator Option for the LP180 Series — Proven Performance
Every installation is different. Forsta now offers both hydraulic and electric actuation options to meet your system’s unique needs.
LP180-LA: All Electric Movement
Forsta’s LP180 Series self-cleaning filters are now available with two drive configurations, allowing you to tailor performance to your system.
- Hydraulic Piston: Ideal for installations with ample water pressure and where reducing electrical components is preferred. The plunger mechanism regulates the lateral motion of the particle remover in proportion to system pressure — a simple, pressure-driven solution.
- Electric Linear Actuator (LA): Provides a fixed 15-second, repeatable movement, removing variability in backwash duration. Excellent for systems requiring precise control, integration with automation, or where maintenance reduction is a key objective.
Both deliver the same durable stainless-steel construction and Forsta reliability, giving engineers true flexibility in design.
