Mechanical filter

The problem

Suspended solids, sand and rust damage pumps, valves, heat exchangers and membranes and shorten the life of downstream equipment. A mechanical filter is the first step of every water treatment system. We supply screen, disc and cartridge filters as well as self-cleaning filters with automatic backwash, with the filtration fineness chosen for your water and equipment.

Our solution

Together we determine your needs, supply suitable equipment or materials, install them and keep the system running with maintenance. We have 15 years of experience in water treatment and work across Estonia.

Price

Price depends on water quality, required capacity and installation scope. We prepare an exact quote after a water analysis or site details.

Service area

We are based in Tartu County (Rehepapi põik 3, Soinaste küla, Kambja vald) and mainly serve Tartu and Harju counties – Tartu, Tallinn and the surrounding areas. We also travel to sites anywhere in Estonia.

Frequently asked questions: Mechanical filter

What does a mechanical filter remove?

A mechanical filter removes solid particles such as sand, silt, rust and other sediment from water. Filtration accuracy depends on the type of filter and filter media.

Which mechanical filters are used in industry?

Screen and disc filters, bag and cartridge filters, and backwashable sand and multimedia filters are used. The choice depends on capacity and particle size.

Does the filter clean itself?

Automatic backwashing filters clean themselves based on pressure drop or a schedule. In cartridge filters, the filter element must be replaced.

Why is a mechanical filter important upstream of other equipment?

Mechanical prefiltration protects reverse osmosis membranes, UV units and ion exchange resins from clogging and extends their service life.
