CUSTOM DESIGNED ALGAE SYSTEMS SMALL- MEDIUM-LARGE-&-TURNKEY SYSTEMS     HINBEN Algae Belt Microscreen Filter   The HINBEN Belt Microscreen Filter is a highly efficient solids removal filter for algae applications. It is effective for fine and soft solids removal, plankton harvesting, and filtering colonies of unicellular organisms.   The filter provides high capacity single stage filtration to gently separate soft solids with minimal head loss. The grid supported micro screen belt removes larger and fine particles. Screen sizes are available with openings as small as 15 microns. Most aquaculture operations use a screen opening of 60-100 microns. This makes the filter ideal for recirculation facilities where solids removal is essential for efficient performance of the bio-filtration system.   Water flows through the lower part of the filter and through the moving filter belt. Solids in the water collect on the belt and are carried into the path of the patented air cleaning device, which blows the solids into the solids collection channel. The filter should be gravity fed to avoid particle size reduction by a pump impeller. The filter is continuously self-cleaning using air, with periodic programmable hot water rinses to remove biological fouling that would eventually clog the screens. The filter operates with a low energy consumption and requires only 100 – 250 litres wash water per day (20 to 60 gallons per day) (depending on size) of periodic backwash water. The Belt Microscreen Filter features a polyester microscreen for strength and durability. The fine screen transports the captured solids to the air cleaning area. In the event of a screen tear, the belt can field repaired. The belt is turned by a fractional HP motor coupled to a heavy-duty permanently lubricated gear box. The strong motor and extra strength gearbox add to the filter's service life significantly. Electronic variable speed controllers are standard. Solids dewatering is available as an option. The filters are available in five models. Custom configurations including drop in channel mount units are readily available. All wetted parts used in manufacturing the filter are made of non-corrosive materials.
