Drum Filter

Drum Filter

Mechanical filtration of the outlet water from the fish tanks has proven to be the only practical solution for removal of the organic waste products. Today almost all recirculated fish farms filter the outlet water from the tanks in a so called micro­ screen fitted with a filter cloth of typically 40 to 50microns. The drumfilter is by far the most commonly used type of micro­ screen, and the design ensures the gentle removal of particles.

Function of the drumfilter:

• Water to be filtered enters the drum.
• The water is filtered through the drum’s filter The difference in water level inside/outside the drum is the driv­ ing force for the filtration.
• Solids are trapped on the filter elements and lifted to the backwash area by the rota­tion of the
• Water from rinse nozzles is sprayed from the outside of the filter elements. The rejected organic material is washed out of the filter elements into the sludge tray.
