Drum Filter for Pond and Aquaculture Systems (10–15 m³)

Drum Filter for Ponds and Aquaculture Systems (10–15 m³)

This drum filter is designed for reliable mechanical water filtration in ponds and closed-circuit water systems used for fish, shrimp, and crayfish farming. With a throughput capacity of 10–15 m³, it ensures stable water quality by continuously removing suspended solids without the need for constant manual intervention.

The system uses a stainless steel filtration mesh with a fineness of 63 microns to capture mechanical impurities. As the filter screen becomes loaded, an automatic cleaning cycle is activated, allowing the unit to operate continuously while maintaining consistent filtration performance.

Operating Principle

Water enters the filter through the inlet connection and passes over the rotating drum covered with a fine stainless steel mesh. Solid particles remain on the screen, while clean water exits through the outlet. When contamination reaches a preset level, automation initiates drum rotation and activates the rinsing pump, flushing collected waste directly to the drain.

Technical Features and Advantages

• Throughput capacity of 10–15 m³ for small aquaculture systems and ponds
• Compact dimensions of 560 × 500 × 560 mm for easy integration
• Food-grade polypropylene housing (8 mm) resistant to moisture and chemicals
• Stainless steel filter mesh with 63-micron filtration accuracy

• Two inlet and two outlet connections (110 mm and 50 mm)
• 40 W gearmotor for smooth and energy-efficient drum rotation
• Integrated rinsing pump for fast and effective automatic cleaning

Applications and Maintenance

This drum filter is suitable for closed-circuit water systems, industrial and ornamental ponds, fish farms, and aquaculture projects involving Australian crayfish or giant freshwater shrimp. Automatic cleaning significantly reduces maintenance requirements, limiting routine work to periodic inspection of the drum and waste discharge line.

The model is part of a standard product range, but customised versions with different capacities and dimensions can be manufactured to meet specific project requirements.
