ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a self-cleaning inlet head for a fluid, operable in a first, draining, mode and in a second, backflushing, mode, including a body having a front end and a rear end; a piston slidably mounted in the body and having having a front face and a rear face; a first space extending between the rear end of the body and the rear face of the piston and a second space extending between the front face of the piston and the front end of the body; a bore connecting the first space and the second space; a valve mounted in the first space for closing off the bore during the second mode of operation; an aperture for access of the fluid from outside the head into the second space in the first mode of operation, and for exit from the second space in the second mode of operation, wherein, at the onset of the second mode of operation, the valve closes off the bore and subsequently moves the piston, thereby initiating a mechanical shearing action loosening any occluding matter in the aperture. The mechanical action is followed by an hydraulic flushing action.
