Efficient Solids Removal

We are proud to represent Faivre in North America. 

Aquacare usually incorporates drum filters into most of the farms we design and/or supply. Since 1996 Faivre have been designing and manufacturing premium quality drum filters for aquaculture. These highly efficient filters are ideal for solids removal in RAS. Ranging in capacity from 3.2 to 832 l/s depending on filter diameter (40 to 200 mm), filter length, suspended solids load and mesh size (15 to 80 micron). These filters either come with an integral tank or can be placed in channels or sumps. Large flows typically require multiple filters.

Faivre drum filters are made of 304 stainless steel for freshwater environments or either HDPE (smaller filters), 316L or duplex for brackish or salt water environments.

The slowly rotating drum gently separates solids from the water and discharges them into a trough from where they can be conveyed to effluent treatment or discharge. They have few moving parts and require very little maintenance. Screens can be replaced in minutes and are supported by a rigid and robust stainless steel frame. The screens are driven via a POLY-V belt which ensures a soft start and reduced wear.

Faivre drum filters can be supplied with all the required controls for efficient operation including level sensors, timers, emergency stops, thermal circuit breakers and power supplies.
