Disc Filter Cartridge 120 Mesh / 130 Microns

Disc Filter Cartridge 120 Mesh / 130 Microns (Reference: 0266) represents the reference filtration solution for all your irrigation and water distribution systems. This high-performance cartridge uses proven stacked disc technology to guarantee precise and durable 130-micron filtration.

Specialized Applications and Use Cases

This disc filter cartridge proves indispensable for agricultural irrigation, professional gardening and domestic installations. It effectively protects drippers, micro-sprinklers and misting systems against clogging. Homeowners use it to filter well water, borehole water or rainwater harvesting before watering. Professionals integrate it into their drip irrigation networks, spray systems and high-pressure washing installations.

Its 120 mesh captures organic particles, plant debris, fine sand and impurities that could damage downstream equipment. It suits perfectly waters loaded with suspended matter while preserving optimal flow.

Disc Technology and Technical Performance

The stacked disc technology constitutes the heart of this cartridge. Each grooved disc is precisely machined to create a three-dimensional filtration labyrinth. Compression stacking generates 130-micron filtration channels, trapping particles through sieving and depth effects.

The high-resistance plastic materials guarantee excellent resistance to UV, chemicals and temperature variations. The modular structure allows easy cleaning by simple disc decompression. High retention capacity ensures extended service life between maintenances.

Compatible with standard filter housings, this cartridge adapts to common service pressures and maintains its performance even with high flow rates.

Installation and Maintenance Procedures

Installation is performed simply by insertion into the compatible filter housing. Check seal tightness before pressurizing. Position the cartridge according to the indicated flow direction to optimize filtration efficiency.

Preventive cleaning is required when differential pressure reaches 0.5 bar. Remove the cartridge, decompress the discs and rinse with clear water under pressure. For thorough cleaning, use a soft brush on each disc. Soaking in descaling solution removes stubborn lime deposits.

Return to service requires correct disc reassembly with homogeneous compression. Check for absence of deformation before reinstallation. Regular maintenance considerably extends cartridge lifespan.

Expert Tips and System Optimization

To maximize filtration efficiency, install a coarse pre-filter upstream to retain large debris. This pre-filtration extends 120 mesh cartridge service life and reduces maintenance frequency.

In professional irrigation, combine this cartridge with an irrigation programmer and pressure sensors to automate cleaning cycles. Installing pressure switches allows monitoring fouling and planning interventions.

Common mistake to avoid: never force disc reassembly. Excessive compression damages grooves and compromises filtration efficiency. Store spare cartridges in a dry place away from UV.

For high capacity systems, consider installing multiple cartridges in parallel to distribute flows and facilitate rotating maintenance.
