The liquid is filtered through the periphery of the slowly rotating drum. Assisted by the filter elements special cell structure, the particles are carefully separated from the liquid. Separated solids are rinsed off the filter cloth into the solids collection tray and discharged.

Microscreening is an efficient and reliable technique for separation of particles from all kinds of liquids. Hydrotech develop and manufacture high performance filters for water purification and product recovery. The Hydrotech Drumfilter is a mechanical and self cleaning filter specially designed with a view to achieving high performance in systems where it is essential to prevent the particles from fragmentation. The filter works without pressure and is robustly designed with few moving parts to ensure long life and low maintenance costs.

Careful handling of the solids to prevent fragmentation is essential to achieve high filtration efficiency. Hydrotechs unique design of the filter elements makes this possible.

Hydrotechs patented filter elements greatly simplify both the replacement and change out of the filter opening size. The drum is constructed in sections, each with three, four or five filter elements depending on diameter. This facilitates maintenance and makes it easy to adapt the filter to actual need of flow capacity and performance requirements of filtration. Drum and tank are made of stainless or acidproof steel. For use in extremely corrosive surroundings, the filter can be equipped with drum made of titanium and tank made of GRP. The filter elements structure, bearing wheels and main shaft bearing are made of resistant plastics. The filter cloth is made of acidproof steel or polyester. The operation of the drumfilter can be continous or automatically controlled. Different types of automatic control systems are available.

Fields of application

D Filtering intake water from streams and lakes for municipal and industrial water supply systems. D Polishing effluent from municipal waste water treatment works. The drumfilter can also replace primary or secondary clarifiers. D The Hydrotech Drumfilter is specially suitable in fish farming systems where it is essential to prevent the particles from fragmentation. Both in recirculated systems and in open systems for intake and outlet water. D Food processing industries are using the Hydrotech Drumfilter for treatment of waste water and process water. D Other examples are filtering transport water in plastic industries and purification of scrubber water in power plants.
