Agricultural irrigation systems rely on clean water to ensure efficient water delivery, prevent clogging of emitters or sprinklers, and promote crop health. However, water sources such as rivers, ponds, or recycled wastewater often contain suspended solids, organic debris, and algae that can damage irrigation infrastructure. Disc filters have emerged as a key filtration technology to address these challenges, offering high efficiency, low maintenance, and adaptability to diverse agricultural settings.

How Disc Filters Work‌

Disc filters consist of stacked polymer discs with precisely engineered grooves and spacers. When water flows through the discs, particles are trapped in the interstitial spaces between the grooves. Grooves on disc surfaces form a 3D filtration matrix, capturing particles as small as ‌5–200 microns‌ depending on disc specifications.Contaminants like sand, silt, algae, and organic matter are retained on the disc surface.

Backwashing‌

Automatic or manual backwashing reverses water flow to flush out accumulated debris, restoring filtration capacity.

Self-cleaning systems minimize downtime and labor costs.

High Filtration Efficiency‌

Removes ‌95–99%‌ of suspended solids, protecting drip lines and micro-sprinklers from clogging.

Maintains consistent flow rates and pressure in irrigation networks.

Low Maintenance‌

Robust polymer discs resist corrosion and chemical degradation, even with fertilizers or pesticides in water.

Automatic backwashing reduces manual intervention.

Water and Energy Savings‌

Prevents emitter clogging, reducing water waste and energy consumption from pump overuse.

Extends the lifespan of irrigation equipment.

Scalability‌

Suitable for small farms to large-scale agribusinesses, with modular designs for easy capacity expansion.
