All these filters are wound sand filters.
AQUACULTURE FRANCE offers a complete range of sand filters specially designed and adapted for aquaculture, fish farming, shellfish farming, aquariums, and ponds.
Our sand filters contain no metal parts, making them perfectly suited for treating corrosive waters such as seawater.
Sand filtration is very effective for obtaining clear and transparent water. We guarantee a filtration fineness of 40 microns at the outlet of our sand filters.
We offer molded or wound sand filters. The sizing of sand filters is based on the amount of suspended solids (TSS).
All options are available:
Operating pressure from 2.5 to 8 bar
All filter diameters up to 3 meters
Filters in vertical position for fine filtration and in horizontal position for high flow filtration
Sand bed height from 0.4 to 1.2 meters
Screen plate (KOK model)
Standard or reinforced lateral arms depending on application
Connections of 1.5, 2, 3, and 4 inches via multiport valve
Connections from 90 to 250 mm via valve manifolds
Possible automation of backwashes
Differential pressure sensor to monitor filter clogging status
