Mobile Disc Filtration

Efficient, Compact, and Low Energy Solution for Superior Liquid-Solids Separation

Mobile disc filters provide a high-rate filtration process in a compact footprint that requires less backwash than other filtration systems. Each disc houses a polyester filter mesh used for liquid-solids separation in many applications. The mobile disc filter units are low-energy systems with automatic self-generating backwash and remove suspended solids and precipitated metals larger than 10µm.

Our mobile disc filtration units are fully integral units that require minimal assembly without the need for mounting and alignment of other ancillary equipment. They are available for rapid deployment and setup.
