Aquaculture – Filters for fish farms

Mesh solutions for circulatory systems

Aquacultures enable the controlled farming of plants and animals that live in water, such as fish, seafood, and shrimp. In the large tanks of recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS), drum and disk filters are used to clean the water of feed residue and excrement so that it can be reused.

GKD offers various metal meshes for filtration applications in aquaculture. POROMETRIC mesh has filtration rates of 20-100 μm and an optimized weave structure that enables almost 90 percent porosity and unsurpassed flow rates. In comparative tests conducted by the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), it also demonstrated the best cleaning behavior – with the same low backwashing rate.

Since POROMETRIC is woven from metal and not plastic, no microplastics can make their way into the ecosystem – a win in terms of quality, health, and the environment.
