Disk Filter 1.5" (120 mesh), 14 m3/hour, 281 cm2

Protecting your irrigation investment with Palaplast

In intensive agriculture, where water conservation and precise delivery are critical, the quality of your filtration system directly impacts the longevity of your drip irrigation lines. Greek manufacturer Palaplast has spent decades establishing itself as a European leader in irrigation hardware. Their 1.5" disc filter, rated for 14 m³/h, represents the "sweet spot" for medium-scale commercial farms and greenhouses.

Engineering and Design

The unit features a high-grade polymer housing, engineered to withstand intense UV exposure and the corrosive nature of liquid fertilizers. Inside, the core consists of a stack of compressed, grooved discs. As water flows through the stack, these discs trap both organic matter, such as algae and silt, and inorganic debris like fine sand. With a filtration surface area of 281 cm², this model achieves a superior balance between flow capacity and particle retention, ensuring that your emitters remain clog-free throughout the growing season.

Why the 120-Mesh Standard?

The 120-mesh (approximately 130-micron) specification is the industry standard for most modern drip tapes and irrigation emitters. This rating ensures that even the finest debris is filtered out, while preventing the excessive pressure drops that cause frequent maintenance headaches. Key features of this unit include:

• High Flow Rate: The 14 m³/h throughput makes it suitable for secondary mains and larger sub-main irrigation circuits.
• Easy Maintenance: The disc cartridge can be removed and rinsed manually in seconds, requiring no specialized tools or complex disassembly.
• Chemical Resistance: Built to resist the aggressive chemicals often used in modern fertigation, ensuring long-term structural integrity.

Choosing Palaplast equipment is an investment in system reliability. Unlike generic, low-cost alternatives, this filter features precision-molded discs that guarantee consistent filtration across the entire surface area, eliminating the risk of bypass. It is the practical choice for growers who prioritize uptime and consistent performance in the field.
