RF600LW filters are general purpose suction intake basket strainers with a built-in self-cleaning mechanism that back-washes their mesh as your pump draws water. These are all stainless steel, high volume screens developed specifically to meet the challenges of EPA and Environnment Agency regulations for raw water abstraction.
The designation RF600LW indicates that the filter body has stretched mesh under tension as its body rather than a basket cage. This gives exceptional open area to the screen allowing more flow for the basket area. Dirty water is screened at source, helping to prevent the intake, pump and any connected equipment from blocking.
These 750 mm diameter self-cleaning intakes attach to the suction of surface mounted pumps. Here are some typical uses of these filters:
A two jet RF600 self-cleaning intake - these get taller the greater the flow rate required- up to eleven jets high
Rotorflush RF600LW self-cleaning suction intakes can be fitted with:
A coarse woven mesh screen providing low maintenance cycles, filters and screens with coarse mesh come fitted with rubber backwash jets which are suitable for handling larger particles. Ideal difficult water conditions.
Mesh apertures available: 1 mm, 2 mm, 3 mm and 5 mm mesh or contact us if you have a particular requirement.
RF600LW self-cleaning basket strainers are ideal for screening and pumping raw water, cooling water, and sea water, particularly where there is a need to protect aquatic life. Their high volume, low-velocity intake easily complies with EPA and Enviroment Agency rules.
The strainers have a dry weight range from approx. 80kg - 150 kg depending on model and outlet flange size, lifting gear is required to move them. RF600LWs can be suspended in lakes, lagoons or rivers, or floated from buoys, or raised and lowered on a guide-rail system. They can often be bolted directly on to the intake of vertical and immersible pumps.
For best performance, make sure that there is good clearance around the strainer mesh so that back-washed debris can disperse, and that the RF600LW is above any silt or sludge that may accumulate.
We also manufacture stands and guide rails specifically designed for our products to help you site and maintain them.
Usually very little. Although they are self-cleaning all of our products will require a manual clean every once in a while.
The nylon mesh inserts are easily replaced, and stainless mesh can be cleaned with a pressure washer. How often depends on your mesh size and what you are filtering.
