Roller Filter
A microfiltration machine is a solid-liquid separation device that uses sieves or filter elements to trap suspended solids, colloidal particles, and other impurities in water; it falls under the category of physical filtration. Its core function is to remove suspended particles, fibers, algae, plankton, and other organisms with particle sizes ranging from 0.1 mm to tens of micrometers from water through mechanical sieving. It is commonly used in pretreatment or advanced treatment stages of water treatment, reducing the load on subsequent treatment processes and improving water quality.Core Structure and Working Principle·Key structure: Mainly composed of a rotating drum (or filter cartridge), screen/filter plate, drive unit, backwashing system , inlet and outlet water components, etc. The screen material is mostly stainless steel, and the aperture is designed according to the treatment requirements (usually 0.05mm to 0.5mm).·Working principle: When sewage flows through the equipment, water is discharged through the screen mesh, and impurities are trapped on the screen surface; when impurities accumulate to a certain extent, they are removed by backwashing (such as water or air flushing) or mechanical scraping to ensure filtration efficiency.Classification and characteristicsBased on differences in water flow direction and structure, microfilters are mainly divided into internal flow microfilters and external flow microfilters . A comparison of their characteristics is as follows:
Type
Internal flow microfiltration machine
External flow microfiltration machine
Water flow direction
Wastewater flows from the inside of the drum to the outside (inside to outside).
Wastewater flows from the outside of the drum to the inside (outside to inside).
Structural features
The drum contains a spiral plate that collects impurities, and the filter element is a porous plate.
The grid cylinder has a trapezoidal cross-section, providing strong anti-clogging capabilities.
Backwashing method
The water pump drives the filtered water to backwash the filter plates.
Pressurized water backwashes away impurities trapped in the filter screen.
performance advantages
It features low head loss, energy efficiency, and a high degree of automation.
Stainless steel is corrosion resistant, occupies little space, and produces slag with low moisture content.
Applicable Scenarios
Industrial wastewater treatment, tap water filtration, and advanced sewage treatment.
Wastewater pretreatment in industries such as papermaking, leather making, and food processing.
Application areas·Municipal water treatment: raw water filtration at waterworks (removal of algae, water fleas, etc.), and pretreatment or advanced treatment of municipal sewage (reduction of suspended solids load).·Industrial sector :Textile, papermaking, and printing and dyeing industries: Removal of fibers, slurries, suspended solids, etc.Food and brewing industries: filtering residues and colloidal substances;Metallurgical and chemical industries: Solid-liquid separation before wastewater recycling;Aquaculture: Purifying aquaculture water and removing impurities such as uneaten feed and feces.As water treatment needs become more refined, microfiltration machines are developing towards higher efficiency and intelligence . For example, they can be combined with IoT technology to achieve real-time monitoring of operating status, or used in conjunction with other filtration technologies (such as membrane filtration) to improve the removal capacity of trace pollutants, while optimizing backwashing efficiency to reduce energy consumption.
