The Wyma Micron Filter is an ultra-fine, high capacity, self-cleaning, compact and cost-effective first stage water treatment solution. It filters to levels much finer than traditional first stage filters removing a significant amount of organic matter and debris from water in the first pass such that the water can be easily reused.
This unique filtration system, invented by Wyma, and currently in patent assessment phase, is exclusive to Wyma. Filtration levels range from 0.075 to 2mm. Capacities at 150-micron (0.15 mm) filtration level range from 4,700 to 28,530 gal per hour (5 to 30 litres per second, 18 to 108 cubic meters per hour).
Dirty water or slurries are pumped directly into the filter from site pits and sumps, or the base of washing systems such as a Wet Hopper, Barrel Washer, Destoner, Vege-PolisherTM, or Peeler. The water passes through the filter and is collected in a purpose-built catchment tank. Filtered organics and debris are then extracted for disposal. Submersible or external pumps are provided to pump the filtered water back to the process line for recycling.
Other features include, auto emptying, auto water and dirt removal, automated self-cleaning and a system to prevent solids build up in the tank. Optional systems include separate hot water rinsing of fats or precipitating organic compounds that can blind the screens.
