KSO

Self Cleaning Intake Screens to protect pumps and systems from organic and inorganic debris.

With a small portion (1.8% - 3.75%) of pumped water backwashing and rotating the screen, it is continuously cleaned. This maintains the pumping efficiency of the system at optimum, thereby reducing power consumption.

The small screen holes (10 mesh 1.9mm, 20 mesh 0.9mm, 30 mesh 0.6mm), filter water entering system. This can significantly reduce the wear on pump and other system components.

By reducing major causes of water supply problems, ie screen blockage, loss of prime, and wear on pump the labour required to maintain the system is reduced significantly.

Stainless steel and thermoplastic components ensure rugged construction and long operational life. Satisfies Environmental Council requirements for screen hole size and intake velocity.

Features

  • Designed and manufactured for New Zealand and Australian conditions
  • Baffle ensures uniform intake velocity across screen, which stops any “hot spots” of high velocity occurring
  • No electrolysis, all materials are stainless steel or plastic, which prevents a corrosive situation with dissimilar metals
  • Durable and relatively light, the stainless steel construction provides a strong and durable screen
  • The screen can be easily serviced
  • Standard connection - the flanges have standard AS 2129 Table E hole dimensions.
