CM Aqua HEX Drum Filters

• Patented BeeCell hexagonal filter panel — the honeycomb cell geometry gives more net open area than a square-cell or smooth-cloth screen, and retains particles inside the cell rather than grinding them through
• Up to 90% particle removal across the 10–500 µm range (polyester mesh), or 25–500 µm in stainless steel; up to 3x more solids removed per backwash cycle than a disc filter
• Direct Driven Gear Wheel (DDGW) drive — no belt, no chain, no sudden stops, and no lubrication
• One-click filter panel replacement, no tools and no bolts
• Intelligent backwash control — nozzles fire only when needed, cutting backwash water consumption
• X24-series is fully corrosion-free high-tech HDPE polymer with no metal in the waterway, with titanium upgrades available for tropical saltwater
• Three installation formats — full tank, half tank and open channel — plus SANI (hygienic) and SHIP (marine) builds on the F-Series
• Drum diameter 0.4 m to 2 m, drum length 0.4 m to 8 m; X-Series 10–5,000 m³/hr and F-Series 179–8,736 m³/hr
• Manufactured in Denmark, with over 2,000 installations worldwide in salmon RAS, barramundi farms, public aquariums, trout hatcheries and well boats

Sizing starts with your flow rate and the screen micron you need, not the drum size. Finer mesh (10–40 µm) is recommended for intensive RAS where fine particle control drives gill health, and a finer screen on the same drum means less throughput. Tell us your flow, species, target micron and whether you are fitting into an existing tank or channel, and Fresh By Design will confirm the series, drum size and mesh specification.
