Why the Twin Scan-Kleen Filter 150 Mesh Pairs Fine Mesh With Twin Screens
Model 27ASCAN4T-150 solves the problem a fine screen creates. Dropping from 130 to 100 microns catches more silt, and catching more means loading faster. Doubling the element to 388 sq in buys back the run time. That is why the twin body is the sensible home for the finer mesh, and why growers on silty wells tend to end up here. Flow capacity stays at 500 GPM up to 120 psi, so the finer cut costs nothing in throughput. Corrosion-proof polypropylene body, stainless steel screens, flanged at both ends.
A High Flow Screen Filter 150 Mesh on Drip Tape and Fine Emitters
One hundred microns is the cut most drip tape suppliers ask for. It is worth the step whenever emitters plug faster than the flush schedule explains. Cleaning stays manual and fast: open the flush valve, turn the handle, and the rotating dirt collector scans both screens with suction nozzles. Water keeps flowing downstream throughout, so a cycle costs about 10 seconds and no interrupted set. Give it 20 psi minimum at the flush outlet, ideally 30. Measure the shed before it arrives, because the twin body is 54 in long, 18 in tall and 58 lbs. On water carrying real algae load rather than mineral silt, a disc filter still handles it better than a finer screen will. Growers running tape off a silty well usually land on this combination after fighting plugged laterals for a season.
Key Features
- 150 mesh at 100 microns: The finer cut drip tape and small-orifice emitters call for, holding back silt a 130 micron screen passes.
- 388 sq in across twin elements: Double surface area offsets the faster loading a finer screen causes, keeping flush intervals reasonable.
- 500 GPM at up to 120 psi: Full flow capacity is identical to the 120 mesh twin, so the finer element costs no throughput.
- Scan-and-flush cleaning in about 10 seconds: Turning the handle sweeps both screens with suction nozzles while the block keeps irrigating.
- Polypropylene body with stainless steel screens: Built for an outdoor filter station where rust is the usual failure mode on metal-bodied filters.
