Drum Aquaculture filter

steelself-cleaningmechanical

The NP Drumfilter is a mechanical, self-cleaning microscreen filter designed for high performance in water-treatment systems where it is essential to minimize particle break-up. The NP Drumfilter is ideal for use in aquaculture applications as well as industrial and municipal water and waste-water treatment. The filter design ensures careful handling of solids to achieve the best filtration effect. The improvements cover both the design and manufacturing stages, enhancing filtration performance whilst lowering the investment, as well as operating and maintenance costs. To ensure the highest standards of quality all design work and manufacturing takes place in Sweden. Why is it better? The development work leading up to the new NP Drumfilter covers the basic design principles, as well as many detail refinements. For example: •Drum design with support shaft and slide centre bearings at each end – improved structural integrity, reduced over-all weight and long-life bearings help reduce investment and operational costs. •Increased drum length-to-diameter ratio – provides an increase in peak solids loading capacity. •Drumfilters from model size 1212 and upwards are by default equipped with oscillating backwash spray header (”Moving Backwash”). This function improves the cleaning and life span of the filter cloth and reduces backwash water consumption by 20%.
