Description
OPERATING MODE
The Clever Disc Filter operates using an IN-OUT filtration principle. Treated wastewater enters through the central influent pipe and flows by gravity into the filter segments. During normal filtration, the discs remain stationary while solids are captured on the inner surface of the filter cloth.
As suspended solids accumulate, the water level gradually rises. Once the preset level is reached, the disc assembly begins rotating and the automatic backwash system is activated. High-pressure ceramic nozzles clean the filter media and convey captured solids into the sludge trough.
Once the water level returns to normal, the filter stops rotating and resumes standard filtration. This cycle continuously repeats without interrupting the filtration process.
- Why It Wins
Features & Benefits
Advanced Filtration Technology
The Clever Disc Filter utilizes high-performance filter cloth with mesh openings available from 5 microns, providing exceptional removal of suspended solids, algae, parasites, and micropollutants.
Superior Backwash System
Each disc is equipped with ceramic cleaning nozzles specifically designed to improve cleaning efficiency while minimizing backwash water consumption.
No Submerged Bearings
The drive system is designed without underwater bearings, eliminating contamination risks while reducing maintenance requirements and extending equipment life.
Easy Access Design
Full access from both sides of the filter allows quick inspection, servicing, and replacement of filter segments, minimizing downtime.
Compact Footprint
The optimized design delivers high filtration capacity while minimizing installation space requirements, making it ideal for retrofit and space-constrained facilities.
