Short Introduction

YUTANK rotary drum microfilter is a high-performance solid-liquid separation equipment specially designed for aquaculture RAS. With rotary drum filtration, automatic backwashing, detachable screen and submerged energy-saving structure, it features stainless steel anti-rust body, stable gear drive, 7kg high-pressure spray cleaning and 200-micron precision filtration. Integrated UV lamp, water level controller and manure scraper plate reduce clogging, cut water consumption and realize non-stop operation and easy daily maintenance.


YUTANK Rotary Drum Microfilter: Automatic Backwashing Precision Filter for Aquaculture RAS

Introduction

In modern recirculating aquaculture systems, efficient solid-liquid separation is the first and most critical step to stabilize water quality. Residual feed, fish manure, suspended particles and organic contaminants will quickly deteriorate water environment, increase ammonia and nitrite, and bring disease risks to aquatic products.

A high-quality rotary drum microfilter can intercept large particles and impurities in time, reduce the load of subsequent biochemical equipment, and realize automatic operation and low energy consumption. YUTANK rotary drum microfilter is tailor-made for factory aquaculture, indoor RAS farming and large-scale fish and shrimp breeding projects, with customized structural design and full-featured configuration.

Core Working Principle

Adopting rotary drum filtration technology, the microfilter automatically intercepts suspended solids and particle impurities in the water. With full automatic backwashing system, it continuously cleans pollutants attached to the screen without manual intervention. The precision screen separates dirt and large residues, realizing 24-hour uninterrupted water purification and effectively lowering the burden of downstream water treatment equipment.

14 Core Features & Advantages

  1. Rotary Drum Filtration & Fully Automatic Backwashing

    Adopts professional rotary drum filtration technology to automatically intercept and backwash internal pollutants, realizing unattended continuous operation.

  1. Independently Detachable Screen

    The screen can be disassembled separately, allowing convenient internal inspection and daily maintenance of the drum cylinder.

  1. Efficient Particle Separation

    The rotating drum screen automatically removes large residues, suspended particles and solid dirt to prevent organic matter from decomposing and polluting water.

  1. Dual Unit System Design

    Equipped with 2 sets of microfilters matching system volume, coping with peak water load, extending equipment service life and realizing non-stop production maintenance.

  1. Submerged Energy-Saving Design

    Adopts submerged layout considering energy consumption; aquaculture water flows into the microfilter front end by gravity, no extra power required.

  1. Stainless Steel Anti-Rust Structure

    Made of high-quality stainless steel, suitable for long-term underwater operation of microfilter chamber, anti-rust and corrosion-resistant with long service life.

  1. Cylinder Gear Drive System

    Uses One-piece integral gear on one side of the barrel, meshed with the driving gear, more stable and durable than traditional chain drive, low failure rate and less maintenance.

  1. 7kg Custom High-Pressure Nozzle

    Customized 7kg water pressure Stainless Steel Nozzle thoroughly cleans the screen mesh, ensuring stable physical filtration capacity reaching standard design value Will not damage the mesh sheet.

  1. 200 Mesh Custom Screen

    Equipped with customized 200-mesh cylinder screen, filtering most water particulate matter and greatly reducing the load of subsequent water treatment equipment.

  1. Independent Detachable Screen Patch Design

    Each segmented mesh panel is integrally injection-molded and can be disassembled independently, it can be quickly repaired with grid patch without affecting the whole system operation.

  1. Built-In UV Sterilizer at Cylinder Bottom

    Comes with reserved and installed UV germicidal lamp at the bottom, effectively reducing biofilm formation and maintaining stable filtration flow.

  1. Custom Control Box & Water Level Controller

    Standard equipped with control box and water level controller, intelligent operation and simple parameter setting for farm management.

  1. Reserved High-Pressure Water Tap Position

    Reserved installation position for high-pressure faucet, convenient for equipment maintenance and on-site environment cleaning.

  1. Multiple Manure Scraper Plates

    Adopts multiple scraper plates to prevent mesh blockage, reduce screen wear and save 30%~50% backwashing water consumption.
