4 Core Functions of Gravity Fed Compass Dynamic Filter

- The fully open filter screen allows for greater flexibility in Wastewater connection methods.
- The gravity-fed water intake method can handle a wider range of sewage flow rates.
- Unlike typical fixed filter screens used in aquaculture, our filter is designed to rotate continuously, preventing clogging in a single area.
- The raised, arc-shaped design at the center of the filter maximizes the contact area between wastewater and the screen.
- As wastewater flows from the center towards the edges, gravity and rotation cause more water to flow into the bottom collection tank, while particles ≥48µm are retained on the filter and discharged into the wastewater tank with the rotation.
- We offer two different filter screen options: 38µm and 48µm.
- This exceeds the filtration precision required in many large-scale aquaculture and wastewater treatment applications.
- Operating at 38µm filtration precision, 80% of fish waste will be separated intact.
- Our design includes a high-pressure water pump, nozzle, and timer.The entire cleaning process is fully automated.
- This self-cleaning screen filter is crucial for aquaculture and aquaponic systems, eliminating the need for frequent manual cleaning required by traditional filters.

Why Choose the Compass Dynamic Filter?

Gravity-Fed Mode
Fish feces and other particulate solids are not broken down by the water pump, resulting in finer contamination.
It is compatible with a wider range of back-end filtration devices, including biological filters, aquaponics bead filters, and our centrifugal filters.
The wastewater inlet method is more flexible, perfectly compatible with 2-inch, 2.5-inch, 3-inch, and 4-inch inlets.

Dynamic Rotary Filter
The Compass Dynamic Filter is a motorized screen filter for aquaculture. Static screen filters often require manual cleaning every few hours. While some are designed with automatic cleaning systems, frequent cleaning is still necessary, resulting in significant water waste.
The dynamic rotation design improves solid waste collection. In high-density aquaculture, feed and excrement expand in water, generating several times the amount of solid waste.

38um 48um Filter Screen
The Compass Dynamic Filter uses a stainless steel filter screen, available in 38µm (400 mesh) or 48µm (300 mesh) options.
This filtration precision surpasses that of 95% of mechanical filtration systems used in aquaculture. With more solid waste separated, the pressure on the downstream filtration system is significantly reduced.
