Small Mesh Filter ¾" (120 mesh), 4 m3/hour, 152 cm2

Engineering Solutions for Irrigation Protection

The Palaplast 3/4" small screen filter serves as a critical first line of defense for drip tapes and micro-sprinklers. At its core is a polypropylene screen with a 120-mesh rating (approximately 130 microns), which serves as the industry standard for removing sand and fine organic sediments. With a flow capacity of 4 m³/h, the unit provides high efficiency while maintaining minimal pressure drop across the irrigation circuit.

Technical Specifications and Design Advantages

• Housing: Constructed from high-density UV-resistant thermoplastic polymers, designed to withstand the harsh conditions of agricultural environments. The threads are engineered for precise engagement, preventing stripping during installation under field pressure.
• Filtration Surface: The 152 cm² filtration area ensures extended operating cycles between flushes. The geometry of the mesh is optimized to trap particles effectively without allowing them to embed under operating pressure, which facilitates easier cleaning.
• Ease of Maintenance: The modular design allows for manual disassembly without the need for specialized tools. This quick access is essential for routine inspections during the peak irrigation season.

Choosing the right filtration system is vital for preserving the longevity of emitters. The Palaplast filter integrates seamlessly into any control head, offering robust performance whether the water source is a pressurized network or an open reservoir (when used with secondary sediment settling). Its compact design saves space in manifold boxes while ensuring high-quality water throughput.
