Description
Trome TM3 Drum Micro Screen Filter – Advanced Filtration for Large-Scale Aquaculture Systems
The Trome TM3 Drum Micro Screen Filter is a high-capacity, automatic filtration system engineered for large-scale aquaculture operations. Designed to handle greater water volumes while maintaining exceptional solids removal efficiency, the TM3 provides robust and continuous filtration for demanding recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS), hatcheries, and grow-out facilities. Its durable construction and automated cleaning system ensure consistent performance with minimal operator attention, even under heavy load conditions.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Heavy-duty construction: Built from high-quality HDPE and stainless steel for superior corrosion resistance and durability in both fresh- and saltwater environments.
-
High-efficiency microscreen filtration: Equipped with a standard 60 µm mesh that effectively removes suspended solids, fine particulates, and waste, maintaining optimal water clarity and system health.
-
Large flow capacity: Designed for flow rates of approximately 20,000 – 30,000 L/h, making it suitable for commercial-scale aquaculture systems and centralized filtration setups.
-
Automatic self-cleaning operation: The rotating drum and integrated backwash system continuously remove collected solids, reducing maintenance time and ensuring uninterrupted filtration.
-
Compact footprint for its capacity: Despite its high throughput, the TM3 remains space-efficient and easy to integrate into existing system layouts.
-
Optimized for commercial aquaculture: Developed for continuous operation in RAS environments, ensuring stable water quality, reduced biofilter loading, and improved system efficiency.
