Finally! A small compact self cleaning rotational filter that everyone can afford.

14 ga. “steel Core” constructed frame and tank with aluminum frame filter drum and 64 micron filter mesh this automatic cleaning filter may be the only filter you will ever need.

HOW IT WORKS

Particulate loaded effluent from the culture tank enters the inside of the drum. The drum is covered with very small nylon screen which will allow the water to pass through but trap the particulate. Being a very small screen and depending on the amount of particulate in the water, the screen can become clogged very fast. Since the drum is not rotating during the normal filtering process it will begin to fill with water as the screen becomes more and more clogged. A sensor inside the drum will detect this water rise and when the level reaches a certain point it will turn on a 1/4 hp. gear motor which will then begin to rotate the drum. At the same time a high pressure spray nozzle located on the outside top of the drum turns on and cleans the screen, pushing the waste into a discharge trough.
After the screen is clean, the spray and the motor shut down.
