Rotorflush GT200 Liquid Solids Separator System
The Rotorflush GT200 Liquid Solids Separator provides an easy way to remove and dispose of particulate and solids when moving contaminated water. As water flows by gravity or is pumped into the GT200 liquid solids separator, the separator simultaneously filters out debris and pumps filtered water onwards. Debris and particulate left behind is purged from an outlet below the separator as required, either manually or automatically on a timer.
- Separate Solids from 220 L/Min, 58 USGPM
- Filter From 6 mm down to 50 Microns
- Optional Solid Waste Handling Add-on
Price from: £3,500
Rotorflush Filterpumps™ and Self-cleaning Filters for Farming
How are Pumps and Pump Strainers for Agriculture Used?
Our award-winning Rotorflush Self-cleaning filter system was invented by a dairy farmer fed up with having to unblock pumps and clogged strainers on his farm.
Farmers know the importance of good water management on the farm, and know which agricultural pumps and strainers work best for them. Water pumps for farming need to be robust and operate in harsh conditions in all weathers. Keeping pumps working well and preventing blockages in farm water systems requires reliable, easy to maintain agricultural water filters.
What are water pumps for farming and agricultural water filters are typically used for?
Rotorflush agriculture pumps and filters are designed to work directly in a water source, pumping and screening are combined at the point of intake.
Farm Dirty Water Irrigation Systems
Dirty water run-off from yards, milking parlours and livestock units is usually collected in a lagoon, settlement tank or a slurry pit with a weeping wall system. Slurry lagoons and settlement tanks usually contain more water than manure, but particulate and suspended solids are high. That is why agricultural pumps and filters, pipelines or irrigation nozzles easily block when pumping dirty water back to land.
Farm water systems often use solids handling pumps such as progressive cavity pumps and peristaltic pumps to move dirty water with limited success. Our irrigation water filters and filter pumps screen out suspended solids at source, concentrating solids in lagoons and tanks. This is because Rotorflush submersible filterpumps™ have an integral self-cleaning suction strainer that keeps the filter mesh and pump clear whenever the pump is in operation. Pumps, and irrigation system equipment further down the line, are protected from blocking.
Time and time again, Rotorflush filter pumps and self-cleaning filters have proved more effective for irrigation than peristaltic pumps, progressive cavity pumps and static basket strainers. Pump, screen and irrigate more water without clogging your irrigation system; get fewer visits from the slurry tanker, less cost and maintenance, and better dirty water management.
The Best Submersible Pumps for Agriculture and Farming
The Best Submersible Pumps for Agriculture and Farming are those that require the least maintenance. Rotorflush continuously rated submersible centrifugal farming water pumps are designed to screen water as they pump.
Water can be screened for debris, weed and muck as it is pumped. This is because they have an in-built self-cleaning mechanism on the suction intake that keeps the intake strainer clear while pumping. The pump suction intake screen is automatically backwashed to prevent blocking at the intake - and, all your other connected equipment is also protected from debris and particulate that might otherwise clog your farm water systems.
Livestock Watering
Livestock Watering
Raising livestock requires a lot of water. Sourcing water for livestock watering can mean abstracting raw water from streams, ponds or other natural water sources. Mains water is expensive, so making the best use of raw water, rainwater and recycling water where possible reduces costs.
The Rotorflush Self-cleaning Filter was invented by a dairy farmer. Our filters and filter pumps can help farmers put in place the systems they require for effective, safe and reliable livestock watering.
Agriculture and Farm Water - Irrigation
Water Irrigation Pumps and Filters for Farming
The award-winning Rotorflush Self-cleaning filter system has its origins in irrigation for agriculture. The first strainers and screens were developed specifically to return dirty water on dairy farms back to land - no one wants to tanker dirty water away.
Irrigation Pumps and Irrigation Pump Strainers
Irrigation is integral to agriculture; crops need water. Effective irrigation requires good water management, and the selection of the best irrigation equipment for type of land, crop and water supply.
Rotorflush self-cleaning irrigation water intakes and filter pumps help keep irrigation equipment clear from blockage by weed and other water-borne debris, reducing maintenance and downtime. Irrigation companies love our self-cleaning filters - good for crops, golf courses, garden centres and good for their customers.
The Best Pump Strainers and Intake Screens for Agriculture
Not all farming water systems and applications are suited to the use of submersible pumps. Dry mounted pumps are often used - the suction intake hose drawing directly from the water source. Pumping from lagoons, storage tanks, shallow streams and ponds - all these applications may require a surface mounted pump.
Preventing the pump, and as just importantly, feeds and nozzles from blocking requires a filter or strainer on your pump intake. Rotorflush manufacture ranges of self-cleaning suction intake filters, strainers and screens for use with dry mounted pumps. These self-cleaning intakes can screen out particulate down to 60 microns and cover a wide range of flow rates and capacities. Moving dirty water made easy!
Environmental Compliance - How Pumps and Filters Can Help
Regulations concerning the management of water in agriculture are continually evolving. Farms have to comply with national and local environmental regulations concerning the management of water and disposal of waste water.
Environmental regulations affect the abstraction of water from rivers lakes and ponds, and how water is returned to land or back to waterways.
Farmers often have to comply with regulations to protect elvers and fish fry when drawing raw water. Fish and eel screening regulations require farmers to use equipment that reduces the intake velocity of their raw water intakes, and to filter water to protect aquatic life. Rotorflush filters and filter pumps are recommended for compliance when pumping raw water.
Waste water from farms and agricultural activity is very strictly controlled. In many jurisdictions, there are strict regulations governing the discharge of any form of wastewater into natural water bodies. These regulations are designed to protect water quality and public health. Guidelines are detailed and comprehensive.
Best practice recommends that instead of discharging agricultural wastewater directly into rivers or lakes farmers can avoid breaching regulations store water in sedimentation ponds, construct wetlands or biologically treat water to help reduce suspended solids and other contaminants before disposal. Capturing and recycling waste water is also advised.
Managing stored waste agricultural water is not without its difficulties. Fortunately, Rotorflush filtration products and pumps are designed for exactly this - screening and pumping dirty water contaminated with debris and suspended solids.
Frequently Asked Questions
Vegetable Washing at Laleham Farm
Charlie said that the filters are “one of the most significant investments we’ve made” giving the “biggest continuing result” of any equipment.
Rotorflush Sales Team
Rotorflush Filters ltdVegetable washing water accumulates in a small lagoon that feeds into settlement tanks before being pumped out again for the next round of washing, this often causes blockages with his existing equipment.
Using a Rotorflush self-cleaning strainer the majority of the water used is recycled, water costs are considerably lower.
