- Real-time monitoring: continuous sensor telemetry tracking screen status and water levels
- Nozzle diagnostics: automated alerts warning of manifold pressure drops or chute clogging
- Remote supervisory control: integrated interface managing single or networked filter stations
- Anti-freezing protection: automated thermal protocols shielding screens during winter runs
LowMotion Series Slow-Speed Industrial Sludge Pumps
LowMotion series industrial pumps (LowMotion 2.5, 6, and 8 models) transfer abrasive sludges, municipal wastewater, and delicate food products. Operating rotors exceeding 400 mm diameter at speeds below 500 rpm, they produce hydraulic heads up to 12 m without particle shearing or fluid damage.
- Slow rotational speed: sub-500 rpm operation maintaining free spherical internal passage
- Corrosion resistance: AISI 316L stainless steel volute and rotor resisting marine effluents
- Direct Drive transmission: belt-free motor reducer assembly eliminating regular tensioning
- Mobile wheelbarrow frame: 400 mm pneumatic tires, rapid vacuum priming, and IP67 remote link
FLOBULL Series High-Speed Floating Surface Aerators
FLOBULL floating aerators oxygenate retention basins, freshwater ponds, and golf lakes deeper than 40 cm while curbing cyanobacteria algae blooms. Built with UV-stabilized high-density polyethylene floats, IP55 motors, and 4-blade propellers, they circulate fluid volumes up to 380 m³/h.
- Power rating assortment: drive motors spanning 0.18 kW to 1.5 kW with 230 V or 400 V supply
- Circulation throughput: water displacement rates from 75 to 380 m³/h with conical dispersal
- Material integrity: durable HDPE float body with stainless steel AISI 304/316L intake screen
- Flow directional kits: optional single-jet and long-jet polyester kits directing spray plumes
FLOPULSE Series High-Efficiency Wastewater Turbine Aerators
FLOPULSE surface turbine aerators accelerate biological breakdown of organic contaminants within leachate lagoons, dairy plants, food facilities, and pulp mills. Powered from 1.5 to 22 kW, the grease-free machinery injects dissolved oxygen at rates of 1.2 kg O2/kWh into aggressive effluents.
- Specific oxygen transfer: dynamic aeration yield of 1.2 kg O2 per kWh of absorbed energy
- Fluid processing throughput: treating volumes from 380 to 2400 m³/h across municipal lagoons
- Severe environment alloy: AISI 316L stainless steel propeller, diffuser cone, and hood
- Minimal upkeep design: buoyant floating installation devoid of grease points or level tuning
HYDROPULSE Series Submersible Venturi Hydro-Ejector Aerators
HYDROPULSE hydro-ejectors spanning 1.5 to 5.5 kW oxygenate deeper liquid levels via Venturi vacuum suction. A high-velocity turbine draws atmospheric air through an intake pipe, generating dense microbubble plumes that promote deep mixing without disturbing accumulated bottom sediments.
- Venturi vacuum aeration: hydrodynamic suction drawing air into high-velocity water jets
- Deep water volume mixing: processing rates from 550 to 1800 m³/h within retention basins
- Rugged metallurgy: 3-blade turbine impeller and suction intake screen in AISI 316L steel
- Adjustable inclination: articulated motor mount orienting plume trajectories toward bottoms
ROTOCLEAN Series Self-Cleaning Rotary Drum Microfilters
ROTOCLEAN rotary drum filters engineered by French manufacturer Faivre Group (Faivre Environnement / Baume-les-Dames) provide tertiary wastewater filtration and solid-liquid separation. The line offers 210 modular configurations built upon FT40 to FT200 drums handling flow rates from 3 to 3240 m³/h.
Raw effluent flows by gravity into the hollow drum lined with AISI 304 or 316L stainless steel micro screen plates from 15 to 500 microns.
High-pressure spray nozzles flush trapped solids into an internal discharge chute while the proprietary BDS belt drive mechanism maintains continuous operation without stopping fluid treatment.
SMART FILTER Series Intelligent Automated Drum Filters
SMART FILTER series units merge proven Rotoclean gravity mechanical engineering with advanced digital instrumentation. The automated controller continuously monitors water level differentials, rinse cycle frequencies, and hydraulic pressure stability throughout the distribution manifold.
Integrated sludge sensors flag sediment buildup within the collection chute before overflow occurs. For outdoor year-round reliability, automated screen warming elements suppress frost formation on filtration meshes during winter shutdown intervals.
LowMotion Series Slow-Speed Industrial Sludge Pumps
LowMotion industrial pumps (including LowMotion 2.5, LowMotion 6 with 150 mm porting, and LowMotion 8 with 200 mm porting) transport concentrated sludges, raw sewage, and delicate food suspensions.
The oversized rotor exceeding 400 mm diameter rotates below 500 rpm, generating gentle laminar flows without fluid shearing.
The AISI 316L stainless steel volute and wet-end components resist marine effluents and corrosive chemicals. A direct drive reducer eliminates belt maintenance, rapid vacuum priming facilitates suction lift up to 12 m head, and an optional IP67 wireless remote enables flexible flow adjustment.
FLOBULL Series High-Speed Floating Surface Aerators
FLOBULL high-speed floating aerators deliver atmospheric oxygen transfer and vertical de-stratification in retention basins, aquaculture ponds, and golf course lagoons deeper than 40 cm.
The seamless high-density polyethylene (HDPE) float resists ultraviolet degradation and biological fouling during seasonal duties.
A 4-blade propeller and conical diffuser project high-volume spray plumes circulating from 75 to 380 m³/h with IP55/IP56 motors rated from 0.18 to 1.5 kW. Interchangeable single-jet and long-jet directional kits focus plume velocity to prevent algae proliferation and fish mortality.
FLOPULSE Turbine Aerators and HYDROPULSE Hydro-Ejectors
FLOPULSE surface turbine aerators and HYDROPULSE submersible hydro-ejectors deliver biological effluent oxygenation across food processing plants, wineries, dairies, and municipal lagoons.
FLOPULSE aerators from 1.5 to 22 kW circulate up to 2400 m³/h while transferring 1.2 kg O2/kWh without lubrication requirements.
For deeper basins, HYDROPULSE units utilize a Venturi nozzle driven by a high-velocity submerged turbine to draw fresh air and disperse microbubbles throughout lower liquid strata. An adjustable articulated mount enables precise motor tilt orientation to optimize hydrodynamic bottom mixing.
Technical Selection Criteria for Faivre Water Filtration Equipment
Selecting appropriate Faivre drum microfilters and pumping equipment depends on peak hourly hydraulic loading, suspended solids concentrations, target micron ratings (15 to 500 µm), and installation geometry (in-channel frame or standalone tank).
SMART FILTER models provide remote telemetry for networked plants.
