Disc Filter | 120 Mesh

Description

A Disc Filter | 120 Mesh is a type of filtration device used in various irrigation and water treatment applications. It consists of a series of grooved discs stacked together to form a cylindrical filter element. A 120 mesh disc filter is particularly effective at removing fine particles from water, ensuring clean and efficient operation of irrigation systems and other water-dependent processes.

Components and Design of Disc Filter | 120 Mesh

1. Filter Housing: The outer casing that holds the filter discs.
2. Filter Discs: Grooved discs made from durable plastic or polymer. When stacked together, these discs create a filtration surface with numerous tiny passages that trap particles.
3. End Caps and Seals: Components that secure the discs in place and ensure a tight, leak-free assembly.
4. Inlet and Outlet Ports: Connections for the water supply and the filtered water output.

How It Works

1. Water Inflow: Water enters the filter housing through the inlet port.
2. Filtration: As water flows through the stacked discs, particles larger than the specified mesh size (120 mesh) are trapped in the grooves of the discs.
3. Clean Water Outflow: Filtered water exits through the outlet port, free of the trapped particles.
4. Cleaning: The discs can be easily removed, cleaned, and reassembled, ensuring the filter’s longevity and performance.

Specifications of a 120 Mesh Disc Filter

• Mesh Size: 120 mesh, which corresponds to a particle size of approximately 125 microns. This means the filter can effectively remove particles larger than 125 microns from the water.
• Flow Rate: Depends on the filter size and design but typically ranges from a few gallons per minute (GPM) to several hundred GPM for larger units.
• Pressure Rating: Usually rated for pressures up to 100 psi or more, depending on the filter’s construction.
• Water Flow: 15m3/h
• Size: 180x180x120mm
• Maximum Pressure: 8 bar
• UV resistant

Applications of Disc Filter | 120 Mesh

1. Agricultural Irrigation: Protects drip and micro-irrigation systems from clogging by filtering out sand, silt, and other fine particles.
2. Industrial Water Treatment: Used to filter cooling water, process water, and other industrial fluids.
3. Municipal Water Systems: Ensures clean water supply by removing particulate contaminants.
4. Aquaculture: Maintains clean water in fish farms and hatcheries.

Advantages

1. High Filtration Efficiency: Effectively removes fine particles, ensuring clean water for various applications.
2. Durability: Made from robust materials that withstand harsh environments and high pressures.
3. Cost-Effective: Provides long-term filtration with minimal maintenance costs.

Maintenance Tips

1. Regular Cleaning: Periodically disassemble the filter and clean the discs to prevent clogging and maintain flow rates.
2. Inspection: Check for any wear or damage to the discs and seals and replace them if necessary.
3. Storage: If not in use for an extended period, clean and dry the filter before storage to prevent microbial growth and material degradation.

Installation and Operation

1. Connection: Attach the inlet and outlet ports to the water supply and delivery systems, ensuring secure connections to prevent leaks.
2. Operation: Open the water supply and monitor the filter’s performance. Check for any leaks or unusual pressure drops.
3. Cleaning: Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for cleaning frequency and procedures.
