Description
The Flocell XFM Fines Filter 900 is a high-performance pressurised filtration unit designed specifically for fine particle removal in demanding water treatment, aquaculture and industrial applications. Built around Flocell’s patented open-cell media and Air Clean cleaning technology, this model delivers high clarity, low operational cost and minimal intervention.
Key Benefits
- Fine particle capture – Engineered to retain particles down to less than ~5 µm using the open-cell XFM Fines media.
- Low water & energy usage – The Air Clean® cleaning cycle uses air agitation instead of a full backwash, vastly reducing both water usage and energy consumption.
- High retention capacity & minimal maintenance – Thanks to the unique media design, the filter can hold significant solids before cleaning is required, meaning longer uninterrupted operation.
- Flexible installation & low head-loss – The open-cell media ensures consistent flow performance with very low hydraulic loss, allowing gravity-feed or low-head pump applications.
- Robust build for real-world conditions – Manufactured in the UK to Flocell’s strict standards, the unit is designed for industrial longevity and reliability.
