Quick model answer
What is the RDF-10 Standard Drum Filter?
RDF-10 is the 10 m³/h catalogue model in Pureflow Bio’s Standard rotary drum filter range. It screens suspended particles from circulating water and automatically washes retained solids to a waste drain. It provides mechanical screening before separately selected biological treatment.
When should you consider RDF-10?
Consider this model when your peak filter-branch flow can be accommodated within its confirmed operating duty, and its 500 × 450 × 500 mm envelope and pipe connections fit your layout. The catalogue maximum needs confirmation at the chosen mesh and solids load.

| Model | Maximum flow (m³/h) | L × W × H (mm) | Inlet (mm × quantity) | Outlet (mm × quantity) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RDF-3 | 3 | 430 × 330 × 370 | 32 × 1 | 50 × 2 |

| RDF-20 | 20 | 655 × 555 × 590 | 50 × 2 | 63 × 2 |
RDF-10 versus RDF-3: catalogue maximum flow is 10 versus 3 m³/h; dimensions are 500 × 450 × 500 versus 430 × 330 × 370 mm. Compare actual duty and the full connection arrangement before changing models.
RDF-10 versus RDF-20: catalogue maximum flow is 10 versus 20 m³/h; dimensions are 500 × 450 × 500 versus 655 × 555 × 590 mm. Compare actual duty and the full connection arrangement before changing models.
A larger catalogue flow does not automatically establish a better match. Check mesh, solids loading, hydraulic levels, service access and the complete treatment process.

Useful selection guidance
Does RDF-10 fit your filter flow?
Enter the actual peak flow through this filter branch. If your design starts with water volume and a specified turnover time, use Q = V ÷ T, with volume in m³ and time in hours.
The tool compares flow with the published maximum. Mesh performance, solids loading and biological treatment duty need a separate technical review.
- Confirm screen opening and particle characteristics.
- Review inlet and outlet water levels and available head.
- Check solids load, feed input and wash frequency.
- Agree waste drainage, wash supply and service access.

How a Standard Drum Filter works
Separate suspended solids
Water passes through the selected SS 316 mesh. Particles retained by the screen remain on the drum until the wash cycle removes them.
Start automatic washing
The level-sensor arrangement starts cleaning as operating conditions change. The drive turns the drum while high-pressure nozzles rinse the screen.
Send collected solids to waste
Wash water carries retained solids into a separate drain. Screened water continues to the next selected treatment stage.
Built for accessible solids management
Standard RDF features and benefits
SS 316 screening options
The supplied catalogue specifies SS 316 grade 75-micron mesh. Review the solids load, operating water levels and wash arrangement when selecting the model.
Automatic wash arrangement
The level-sensor and spray-nozzle arrangement starts cleaning as operating conditions change, reducing the need to initiate every wash cycle manually.
Polypropylene drive gear
The PP drive gear will not rust. Plan routine checks of the gear, drive and screen as part of the equipment maintenance schedule.

Installation and maintenance essentials
Confirm the installation duty
- Agree gravity-fed or pump-fed arrangement and operating levels.
- Check the actual peak flow, pipe sizes and available head.
- Define the wash-water source, pressure, flow and waste-drain capacity.
- Confirm electrical supply, control interfaces, foundation and service clearances.
Make routine care practical
- Inspect the screen, nozzles, level sensors, drive and drain.
- Check for deposits, wear and unusual cleaning frequency.
- Isolate the equipment before maintenance and follow its operating instructions.
- Confirm replacement screens, spare parts and service arrangements for your location.

Answers for your project brief
RDF-10 Standard Drum Filter FAQs
What is the catalogue flow of RDF-10?
RDF-10 has a listed maximum flow of 10 m³/h. Confirm its operating capacity at the chosen mesh, solids loading and water levels before selection; this is not a universal duty guarantee.
What size is the RDF-10 Standard Drum Filter?
The catalogue dimensions are 500 × 450 × 500 mm, in length × width × height order. These dimensions exclude the service clearance needed for maintenance and pipework. Request the current general arrangement drawing.
Which pipe connections does RDF-10 use?
The catalogue inlet listing is 50 × 1, and the outlet listing is 63 × 2, expressed in millimetres × quantity. Confirm the current connection style, water levels and hydraulic arrangement in the quotation.
Where can RDF-10 be used?
RDF-10 can be considered as a mechanical screening stage for a koi pond, aquaculture filter branch, hatchery or aquarium life support system whose confirmed duty fits this model. Selection also depends on solids load, water chemistry, mesh and the complete treatment process.
Which screen is available for RDF-10?
The Standard RDF catalogue specifies SS 316 grade 75-micron mesh. Confirm the required operating duty, solids loading and final equipment scope for the project.
Does RDF-10 include biological filtration or UV disinfection?
This Standard RDF listing covers mechanical microscreen filtration. It does not establish biological treatment or a UV disinfection rating. Select those treatment stages separately; compare the Pro Drum Filter With UV range if integrated UV equipment is required.
How should I compare RDF-10 with another RDF model?
Compare actual peak filter flow, available space, connection sizes, screen opening and water levels. The table on this page compares RDF-10 with adjacent catalogue models. Listed water volume is a reference and must not be used as a fish stocking or feed capacity.
What are the RDF-10 warranty, dispatch and quotation terms?
The equipment warranty is one year from invoice date under the agreed operating conditions. Exclusions include normal wear, dry running, voltage issues, improper operation and physical damage. Equipment dispatch is within 15 working days after order confirmation. Electrical load, wash demand, transit, installation and commissioning scope are confirmed in the quotation.
