The
operating system is a simple one.
Water
to be filtered is directed into a rotating drum (1). The outer
surface of the drum is constructed with a number of stainless
steel frames covered with stainless steel mesh. Suspended solids
larger than the perforations unable to pass through the mesh are
retained in the drum. The slowly rotating drum separates
the solids from the water and discharges the solids through a
discharge channel located at the top of the drum as indicated on
sketch (2).
FAIVRE
filters are designed to resist all corrosion, due to their water
construction entirely of stainless steel type 304 for fresh
water, and type 316 for salt water all parts of the filter have
been engineered and calibrated for their specific duty.
FAIVRE
drum filters are constructed with minimum of moving parts and
are belt driven. Maintenance is reduced to a minimum.
The
efficiency of the design is contained within the construction of
the stainless filter plates which are integrated into a strong
stainless steel framework. Replacement of filter plates is
possible in a few minutes due to the exclusive design. The
filter plates are easily cleaned and replaced on the drum unit.
