Drum filter particle removal
Drum filters are another option for particle removal.
|
With a screen of 37.5 microns, a drum filter will work well with a foam fractionator. The filter micron size can be larger is needed (for example:75 microns, 150 microns).
Volume conversion
To convert from US gallons per minute (gpm) to cubic metres (m3) per hour, multiply by 0.227 (ref).

Koi and small to medium sized drum filters
Ecodrum 30: 25 000 l/hour
Ecodrum 50: 50 000 l/h
Ecodrum 100: 100 000 l/h
Standard mesh is 60 micron (90 and 42 micron is available).
A UV light is now included.
The new filters are equipped with a high pressure mechanical seal and the static water level is at 400mm. It can’t leak out and the seals will have a life span of at least 10 years. As water flows through the lower drum’s half, the screen transport the captured solids to the backwash spray area for an intermittent and automatic self-cleaning process.

Small power consumption: 400 watts only on backwash. The drum is turned by a heavy duty AC
motor and a lubricated gearbox with a chain as the final drive to the drum. The Drum speed is
standard at approximately 3 revolutions per minute; however the time can be adjusted as required for
shorter and longer backwash periods as required by the end user.
Head loss is around 300mm if pumped through the filter and will offer maximum flow rate for
industrial filtration on Koi or Tilapia. Ideally, the water supply will be performed by gravity to avoid
particles fragmentation resulting from water pumping through the pump’s impeller.
Drum filter maintenance is very low; the screen replacement is the only major concern other than the
transmission and both only takes a few minutes. There is nothing to lubricate. All Rotary Drum
Filters are supplied completely equipped with control unit, jet-pump as well as the rotational gearbox
and drive motor combination. The entire filter operates on 220 volts electricity and use less than 250
watts when fully operational during the backwash cycle.
The control unit provides the following:
1. The set time for cleaning the screen from 0 – 30 seconds.
2. The duration of the time itself, time is fully adjustable for customers own use.
3. Wash times are controlled by water levels, screen size and flow rates.
4. The control unit will terminate the rinsing process as soon as the integrated system detects the
required water level.
Do Not’s:
1. Do not clean the spray nozzels when the Drum Filter is powered on as the High pressure pump can
switch on at any time.
2. Do not put your fingers close to the sprockets while the Drum Filter is switched on, make sure the
power is switched off when you want to inspect the chain and sprocket.
3. Do not adjust the flood switch/’s when the water level is not correct or when the service pumps are
switched off.
4. Do not set the cleaning time for less than 30 seconds.
5. Do not leave the Drum Filer switched on when doing general maintenance on the system/tanks as
you may affect the water level height inside the Drum Filter.
6. Never Allow the dirty water to flow through the Drum Filter when the Drum Filter is switched off.
The screen will clog and the Drum Filter will flood. If you need to do that open the blank-off plates
for the dirty water to flow freely through the Drum Filter.
7. Stay away with sharp objects from the screen as any damage on the screen means immediate
replacement of the screen as the Drum Filter will not function correctly with damage to the screen.
