Description
Trome TM1 Drum Micro Screen Filter – High-Efficiency Solids Removal for Aquaculture Systems
The Trome TM1 Drum Micro Screen Filter is designed for efficient and reliable solids removal in aquaculture systems. Built from durable, corrosion-resistant materials, it provides automated microscreen filtration for small to mid-scale recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS), hatcheries, quarantine units, and research facilities. Compact yet powerful, the TM1 brings advanced drum filtration technology to operations that require precise water quality management.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Durable construction: Made with HDPE and stainless-steel components for long life and compatibility with both fresh- and saltwater environments.
-
High-performance microscreening: Standard 60 µm screen mesh efficiently removes fine suspended solids, improving water clarity and reducing system sludge loads.
-
Compact design: Handles flow rates of approximately 5,000 – 7,500 L/h, ideal for smaller RAS units and support systems where space is limited.
-
Automatic self-cleaning: The rotating drum continuously filters and backwashes solids automatically, ensuring uninterrupted operation with minimal maintenance.
-
Aquaculture-specific design: Developed specifically for fish and shrimp farms, hatcheries, and research systems that require dependable fine solids removal without the footprint of large-scale drum filters.
-
Easy installation: Simple integration into existing systems, suitable for a range of filtration configurations and water sources.
