Product Overview The Disc Cloth Filter for Livestock Wastewater is a compact filtration unit for polishing previously treated farm effluent. Cloth-covered discs retain residual suspended solids as water passes through the filter media. An automatic cleaning cycle removes accumulated solids and directs the backwash stream to a separate outlet. For commercial pig farms, the filter can be integrated downstream of screening, solid-liquid separation and the required biological or clarification stages.
Key Features
  • Multiple vertical discs provide substantial filtration area within a compact equipment footprint.
  • Automatic backwashing helps maintain filtration as solids accumulate on the cloth.
  • Disc panels and cloth media can be arranged for inspection, cleaning and replacement.
  • A packaged configuration can simplify installation in a new treatment building or an existing farm utility area.
  • Media selection and equipment materials can be matched to the treated wastewater and operating environment.
Structural Components A typical system includes an inlet chamber, central feed drum, cloth-covered filter discs, a collection tank, disc drive, level sensor, backwash pump and spray assembly, solids collection trough, and separate filtered-water and backwash outlets. A control panel and maintenance access are incorporated according to the selected configuration.
Working Principle Pretreated wastewater enters the central drum and flows through the cloth media on the discs. Suspended particles remain on the media while filtered water passes into the collection area and leaves through the effluent outlet. As retained solids increase flow resistance, a level sensor initiates disc rotation and backwashing. The wash water carries removed solids into a trough for return to an appropriate upstream or sludge-handling stage.
Technical Specifications
  • Design flow and number of discs: According to project requirements.
  • Filter cloth and opening size: Selected according to influent quality and filtration objectives.
  • Tank and wetted-part materials: Customizable.
  • Backwash arrangement and controls: According to project requirements.
  • Inlet, effluent and backwash connections: Customizable.
Equipment sizing and expected effluent quality require wastewater analysis and confirmation of upstream treatment performance.
Applications Suitable for tertiary filtration of treated pig farm wastewater, removal of residual suspended solids after biological treatment and clarification, and polishing within livestock wastewater reuse projects where the full treatment process supports the intended use. It can also be considered before a downstream disinfection or advanced treatment stage. Raw manure slurry and heavily fibrous wastewater require appropriate upstream solids removal.
Customization Options Disc quantity, cloth media, tank layout, connection orientation, control functions and backwash routing can be specified for the project. Equipment access and supporting steelwork can be coordinated with the pig farm construction plan and steel structure building layout. Outdoor protection and enclosure details can be designed according to local climate and farm conditions.
Installation & Maintenance Position the filter on a suitable level foundation with clearance for removing cloth panels and servicing the drive and backwash equipment. Confirm inlet and outlet elevations, drainage, electrical supply and the destination of the backwash stream before installation. Routine maintenance includes inspecting the cloth for damage or fouling, checking spray nozzles and sensors, cleaning the solids trough, and servicing pumps and drive components according to the operating schedule.
Product FAQ

Can the filter treat raw pig manure wastewater?
It is intended for pretreated effluent. Raw slurry should first pass through suitable manure separation and other treatment stages.

Does the filter operate during backwashing?
Disc filter configurations can continue filtering while sections of the media are cleaned; the operating sequence depends on the selected design.

What information is required for selection?
Provide average and peak flow rates, influent suspended-solids data, required effluent quality, upstream treatment details and available installation space.
