WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

  • We now have a system that is running with far greater performance and stability. Early estimates are that we have reduced our polymer usage nearly in half, now that we are properly controlling the mixing, dilution and injection of the polymer; things that were simply not possible before the installation of the Metso TS meter. Throughout that process, Tecumseth Inc. stood behind their product and provided fantastic customer support with advice, analysis and upgraded parts for their meter.

Water Clarification

ROTARY DRUM MICROFILTER (RDM)

MECHANICAL SEPARATION OF SLUDGE FROM WATER

Save fiber, clarify water.

An evolutionary step in fiber solids removal from process water, the Rotary Drum Microfilter ensures the separation of fibers from water. Filter fabric can be selected to accomplish fast rates of filtration or to clarify water so that only very minute particles remain. Water can be clarified to use in place of fresh water on mill showers or as a final clarification before mill effluent discharge. The Rotary Drum Microfilter is often used after existing Disc Savealls and DAFs, or as upgrade replacements for these units.

ROTARY DRUM FILTER
  • Fine filtration, water clarification, raw material recovery depending on the application.
  • Controlled max size of solid particles for fine filtration application.
  • Simple machine, compact design, complete stainless steel construction.
  • No vacuum required, no drop legs allows ease of installation locations.
  • Large filtering area due to V-shaped filtering cloth profile.
  • Polyester shrinkable filtering cloth mounted on the metallic frame of the rotating drum.
  • Filtering cloth available at openings as fine as 10 microns, selection depends on the application and expected results.
  • Inside and outside continuous clean showers prevent buildup.
  • Modular design for customized sizing.

GRAVITY STRAINER

STRAINING "WHITE WATER"

Where shower nozzles plug because the water being used contains solids, including fiber or large particle sizes, a continuous operation solution that provides long term, trouble-free performance is the ideal solution.

The Ospreytm Gravity Strainer is designed to strain large amounts of “white water”, or water with large amounts of suspended solids. These units are ideal for applications where the concentration and flows are too high for pressurized filters.

KEY FEATURES

The key reasons why the Osprey should be part of your operation are:

  • No trapping or driving solids through screen openings, no backwash.
  • Fibers that ‘staple’ are continuously removed by bottom up spray showers.
  • Easy visual performance inspection and infrequent maintenance. (1-2/years)
  • Performance is fine tuned with the variable speed motor to adjust concentration or flow rate.
  • Self-contained modular unit is easy to install.
  • Small floor space compared to many inline strainers.
