Mechanical Filter (Multi Media Sand Filter)
The mechanical filter is a primary pretreatment unit used to remove suspended solids, turbidity, and particulate impurities from raw water.
Applications
Widely applied in RO pretreatment systems, industrial water treatment, pharmaceutical water systems, food & beverage processing, and municipal water purification.
Working Principle
The system uses multiple filtration media such as quartz sand and anthracite. Water flows through layered media, where particles are trapped at different depths, achieving efficient solid-liquid separation.
