Description
Trome TM4 Drum Micro Screen Filter – High-Capacity Filtration for Commercial Aquaculture Systems
The Trome TM4 Drum Micro Screen Filter is engineered for large, high-density aquaculture systems that demand continuous, efficient, and automated solids removal. Designed for professional and commercial operations, the TM4 offers exceptional throughput, durability, and reliability. Built from marine-grade, corrosion-resistant materials, it ensures stable, long-term operation in both freshwater and seawater environments. Whether integrated into a recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) or a flow-through facility, the TM4 provides superior water quality management for optimized fish health and system performance.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Industrial-grade construction: Heavy-duty HDPE housing and stainless-steel components deliver outstanding resistance to corrosion and wear, even under continuous operation in harsh aquatic environments.
-
Superior microscreen performance: Standard 60 µm mesh ensures fine particle and suspended solids removal, maintaining excellent water clarity and minimizing waste accumulation.
-
High flow capacity: Handles approximately 40,000 – 60,000 L/h, making it ideal for large commercial fish and shrimp farms, hatcheries, and RAS facilities.
-
Fully automatic operation: Continuous rotation and integrated backwash system enable self-cleaning functionality for consistent performance with minimal manual intervention.
-
Compact, modular design: Despite its large flow capacity, the TM4 maintains a manageable footprint and can be configured in parallel with additional units for expanded capacity.
-
Optimized for reliability: Built for 24/7 operation, providing dependable filtration that reduces maintenance downtime and labour requirements.
