ARKA
The ARKA F63TD 2-inch T-type disc filter delivers structured water filtration for irrigation and industrial fluid systems. Its T-shaped housing accommodates a larger disc stack area compared to inline Y-type filters of equivalent connection size, which translates to extended service intervals between cleaning cycles. Constructed from polypropylene (PP) or polyamide (PA) materials, the unit handles a maximum working pressure of 10 bar and supports flow rates up to 30 m³/h. Multiple filtration grades and connection options make this filter adaptable to a range of commercial procurement specifications.
The filter body is injection-molded from engineering-grade PP or PA plastic, chosen for its chemical resistance and mechanical strength under pressure. The T-type configuration positions the disc element vertically within the main flow chamber, allowing water to pass through the full diameter of the disc stack before exiting the outlet port. A stainless steel clamp ring secures the upper housing to the base, enabling tool-free access for element inspection and maintenance. The housing is available in black or transparent finishes; the transparent option allows visual assessment of element condition without disassembly.
Filtration is achieved through a stack of grooved polypropylene discs compressed together. When water flows radially through the disc stack, particles larger than the groove width are trapped on the outer surface and within the groove channels. This three-dimensional filtration mechanism captures both surface and depth-loaded contaminants. The disc stack design allows backwashing to dislodge accumulated debris by releasing the compression and flushing with reverse flow, restoring filtration capacity without replacing consumables.

In agricultural irrigation systems, the T-type disc filter protects drip emitters, sprinkler nozzles, and micro-spray heads from clogging caused by sediment, algae, and organic matter. The 2-inch size suits medium-scale farm plots, greenhouse installations, and orchard irrigation lines where flow demands fall within the 30 m³/h range. Selecting the appropriate mesh grade depends on the emitter orifice size; finer grades (120-200 mesh) are typically specified for drip systems, while coarser grades (40-80 mesh) serve sprinkler and flood irrigation setups.
For industrial applications, the filter provides pre-filtration for cooling water circuits, process water lines, and wastewater recycling systems. The PP and PA housing materials resist corrosion from mildly acidic or alkaline water conditions, making the unit suitable for facilities where metal filter housings would require frequent replacement. Commercial users in food processing, textiles, and manufacturing integrate these filters into pretreatment stages to protect downstream equipment such as heat exchangers, pumps, and membrane systems.
Municipal landscaping projects, golf courses, and public garden irrigation networks benefit from the compact T-type footprint and reliable filtration performance. The filter can be installed in equipment vaults or valve pits where space is constrained, and the transparent housing option allows grounds maintenance teams to monitor element condition during routine inspections.
The disc filter element is cleaned through backwashing. To perform a manual backwash, close the inlet valve, open the flush valve at the bottom of the filter, and release the disc stack compression by turning the top handle or loosening the clamp. Reverse water flow lifts and separates the discs, flushing accumulated debris out through the drain port. A typical backwash cycle takes 30 to 60 seconds. After flushing, recompress the disc stack, close the drain valve, and reopen the inlet valve to resume normal operation.
Install the filter with the inlet and outlet aligned horizontally and the element chamber oriented vertically, as indicated by the T-type design. Place isolation valves on both inlet and outlet sides to allow servicing without draining the entire system. For systems with significant sediment loads, consider installing two filters in parallel to allow continuous operation during maintenance. Ensure that the maximum system pressure does not exceed 10 bar, and install a pressure relief valve if upstream pressure fluctuations are expected.
Select the mesh grade based on the smallest component you need to protect. For drip irrigation with 0.5 mm or larger emitters, a 120-mesh (130 micron) filter is standard. For sprinkler systems, 40 to 80 mesh typically provides adequate protection. Always match the filtration grade to the manufacturer's recommendation for your specific emitters or downstream equipment.
The 2-inch T-type disc filter is available with BSP threaded, NPT threaded, Victaulic (grooved), and flanged connections. Specify the connection type at the time of order to ensure compatibility with your existing pipework.
Yes, the disc filter design is well-suited for water with moderate to high sediment loads because the three-dimensional disc stack holds a significant volume of debris before requiring cleaning. For very high sediment conditions, consider a larger filter size or a multi-unit parallel installation to extend service intervals.
Both housing versions are rated for 10 bar maximum working pressure. The transparent version uses a clear polyamide material that allows visual inspection of the disc element. The black PP version offers additional UV resistance for outdoor installations with prolonged direct sun exposure.
Yes, OEM and private label services are available for commercial procurement orders. Custom branding, color matching, and specification adjustments can be arranged for volume orders. Contact our technical sales team to discuss your specific requirements and minimum order quantities.
