HEX Drum Filters, exclusively distributed in North America by Integrated Aqua Systems, incorporate the latest innovations in microscreen drum filtration technology. Advanced engineering features and construction included in the HEX drum filter are a culmination of 30 years of aquaculture experience and development by industry leading engineers and biologists. As a result of these refinements, the HEX drum filter is built to last even in the harshest conditions and designed to operate more efficiently with energy, water usage, lower operational maintenance cost and significantly improved filtration capacity compared to other traditional drum filters on the market today.

HEX Design Highlights

Heavy-Duty Non-Corrosive Drum Construction using HDPE and engineered plastic materials. HEX filters offer excellent corrosion resistance even in the harshest saltwater and salt air environments.

Superior Filtration Capacity results from the combination of our patented HEX microscreen panels with advanced drum filter technology. The unique BeeCell panel utilizes nature’s own design to provide the strongest and most efficient microscreen filter on the market.

NEW “X” Version Drum Filters offer even better capacity with reinforced drum construction and better corrosion resistance than previous models. X Drum filters are almost entirely plastic with no more metal panel straps!

Intelligent Controls Maximize Filter Efficiency utilizing less energy to rotate the drum and optimizing backwash water usage with most optimal panel area utilization.

Scalable & Customizable with a complete range of commercial filter capacities, configurations and features available, HEX product line can meet the most demanding requirements in any drum filter application.

Upgrade of Drum Filters

Critical… Safe operation is an absolute must, so the aquaculture system has no sudden stop:

Classic problem, support wheels

Ball bearing inside the main support wheel of the drum front. It will suddenly break with no warning and stop the filter operation. Corrosion in the bearing and sudden stop.

Upgrade opportunity

Slide bearing for the main support wheel of the drum front will remain in operation, even it totally worn out. Staff have time to react in case one wheel is worn, as the drum operation continue.

Classic problem, chain drive systems

Chain Drive in steel with need for constant service, exchange and sudden breaks, due to water flooding the chain box.

Upgrade opportunity

DDGW Direct Driven Gear Wheels with no need for for lubrication. The small wheel last +5 years and big wheel +25 years.

Many classic filters have been re-build with HEX DDGW drive. It can be done with the filter in place and CM Aqua deliver full set for mounting.

HEX Standard Features:

1 NEW! “X” Version filters featuring no metal panel straps and reinforced POM/PE plastic drum structure for better stability and corrosion resistance. Virtually non-metallic design with more open area for filtration and water lubricated support wheels for reduced maintenance requirement.

2 No Maintenance Gear Wheel Drive System (DDGW) uses plastic gear wheels which require zero lubrication maintenance to provide reliable, smooth, energy efficient operation. No more oil baths and rusty chains!

3 Patented HEX Panels: Provide up to 20% more filtration capacity in the same footprint compared to traditional filters. More open area and stronger cell construction than traditional filters.

4 NEW! HEX3 Wheels: Solid plastic construction with water lubricated sleeve prevents sudden filter stops from lack of lubrication.

5 Ceramic Rinse Nozzles: Non-corrosive ceramic material lasts many years, even harsh saltwater conditions.

HEX Options• Internal High Flow Bypass: Available with tank models to minimize

plumbing installation• Comb & Auger System option available for heavy solids removal in

the toughest applications • Upgraded Hardware Package available for improved corrosion

resistance in warm saltwater applications. Choose either 316 stainless or titanium hardware upgrade.

INTEGRATED™ Drum Filter Control SystemsAquaPLC™ Intelligent Controller: AquaPLC™ exclusively available from IAS, is the most advanced drum filter controller on the market designed to operate drum filters at their maximum efficiency. With AquaPLC™ drum filters are able to respond dynamically to changes in TSS levels resulting in backwash water savings up to 50%, finer particle capture, significant energy savings and less wear and tear on equipment.

AquaPLC™ touchscreen controller is fully programmable

for Intelligent, Basic or Continuous drum operation.

DFC Systems are manufactured, tested and documented at IAS’ facility.

AquaPLC™ Features: • NEMA 4X Enclosure with 4.3” touchscreen• Multi-parameter display, digital HOA switches,

datalogger, analog and digital inputs• Includes ethernet adapter for remote

communications • Built-in handshake protocols with alarm

notifications to notify operators in case of equipment failure.

Basic Drum Filter Controller (BDFC): For less sensitive applications, IAS offers the BDFC. Pre-wired in a NEMA4X panel with built-in manual timers and motor controls, the BDFC is a great economical option for drum filter control.

INTEGRATED™ Drum Filter Control Systems (DFC): DFC Systems from IAS are completely integrated modular systems with all equipment required to operate a drum filter. DFC Systems are pre-wired, pre-plumbed and skid mounted on non-corrosive FRP bases. Systems include properly sized rinse pump, drum controller, motor controls, plumbing and single point of electrical connection box (EPOC).

Intelligent™ Controls technology, licensed exclusively to Integrated Aqua Systems, maximizes the capacity of HEX drum filters to offer the most efficient and economical operation available on the market today. With IAS’ new AquaPLC® for Intelligent™ Drum Filter Controls (IC), HEX models F2 filters and larger can be set-up and programmed for economical use by responding dynamically to changes in TSS loading. Intelligent™ Drum Filter Controls allow the buildup of filter cake on HEX microscreen drum screens, which will allow finer solids capture and also prolong intervals between backwash events. Intelligent controls minimize backwash water usage, electrical consumption. Refer to IAS Intelligent Controls Logic sequencing for settings.

4) Sizing: only valid for normal distribution and size of waste from fishfarms5) BeeCell™ panels available in 10 - 1000 micron as standard6) All filters max submerged, and a delta headloss of 20 cm between inside and outside waterlevel7) NB: flowrestrictions on tankversions. High flow versions on request.8) Consult Integrated Aqua Systems for sizing assistance and options for specific application and mode of operation

3) If RAS coldwater, backwash is not expected to be on all the time, high rpm at backwash, use tabel with 20 % redundance. If warm water or "IC" is installed, add 30 %

MAX CAPACITY (GPM) AT MICRON SCREEN SIZE

NOTES:

2) All figures are at average speed of rotation and 100 % backwash time and clean filtercloth--- at max rpm capacity can increase by 30 %. If outlet from fishfarm, max rpm can be used (standard setting on HEX filters), ie filters can have 30 % more capacity than figures above, but redundance of 20 % recommended.
