Rotary Filter

Reduces Freshwater Consumption

The Rotary Filter reduces freshwater consumption in vegetable washing, food processing and industrial use
by up to 95% depending on the application. Wyma recommends the use of the Rotary Filter in addition to our Micron Filter (stage 1) where soil is rocky or the need for higher flow rates is required, due to the filtration screen
being harder wearing.

Filtration Process

Filtration is by a rotating drum where influent flows into the centre of the drum and passes through a perforated drum screen to capture the organic matter and other debris.
The filtered material is augured out of the machine to waste, while the filtered water is discharged, or captured in a purpose-built tank for reuse.

Capacities and Filtration Aperture Sizes

Capacities range from 30 to 400 l/s or 100 to 1,400 m3/hr (475 to 6,300 US gal/min).
Filtration aperture sizes range from 1.5 to 4 mm (0.06 to 0.16 inches).

Optional Tank and Pump Options

If you choose to use an optional tank, submersible or external pumps can be fitted to pump recycled water back to your process line for reuse, and the cycle repeats. Additional pump options are also available:

For filter screen rinsing to prevent filter blocking
For cascading excess water to other parts of your processing line
To prevent solids building up in the tank, minimising tank cleaning time

Features

Removes water from waste which reduces bulk and weight of waste, lowering waste disposal costs.
Flip-up door to give easy access to drum and internal structure for cleaning and maintenance.
Chain-driven drum for maximum drive in wet conditions.
Spray bar sprays water through the drum to dislodge waste and prevent buildup that may clog the holes.
Multiple pump options available for recycling, cleaning filters, flume feeds, or rinsing infeed trays and cascading excess water to earlier stages in the line.
Customisable spray nozzles to choose size, spraying angle and intensity to suit your needs. Easy maintenance.
Built-in water catchment tray collects wastewater for reuse.
Flights carry waste to the outfeed.
