1″ Disc Filter 180 micron

Disc filter is a type of irrigation filter used primarily in irrigation system, similar to a screen filter, a cross between a screen filter and a media filter, with many of the advantages of both. Disc filters are good at removing both particulates, like sand, and organic matter. Different with screen filter the disc filter cartridge is made of a number of discs stacked on top of each other. Discs are diagonally grooved on both sides to a specific micron size. The water is forced between the disks, and the particulates are filtered out because they won’t fit through these gaps. The organics are snagged by the sharp points on the bumps. The filtration quality, defined this as the higher or lower quantity and size of particles that the filtering element is able to retain, depend on the geometry and size of the channels, the length of these and the number of generated intersection points.
