Thompson Filter
Dependable, Low Maintenance Filtration
The Thompson Filter is a patented stainless steel screen filter that is designed for the removal of sand and sediment from well water for the irrigation and liquid fertilizer industry. Our unique filter has grown popular due to its low maintenance design, stainless steel construction, space saving profile, and exceptionally low pressure loss.
All models of the Thompson Filter operate with less than a 1-PSI pressure loss at maximum flow when clean. This efficiency provides real energy savings when compared to filter products that rely on energy consuming devices like spinners and torpedoes to give a comparable cleaning action. Call us today for a free energy savings estimation.
 Choosing a filter with sufficient surface area is critical in any application. The Thompson Filter has significantly more surface area than most traditional basket and y-strainers. Miller-Leaman has a filter that will fit your specific needs with units available from 2" to 10" and flow rates up to 2,000 GPM (higher flow rates are achieved by manifolding multiple filters). Our screen mesh options are available from 16 to 250 mesh.
The Thompson Filter, made in the USA and backed by Miller-Leaman's dedication to customer service, is a simple cost-saving quality product that you can depend on.
 Turbo-Disc Full-Flow Systems
The Evolution of Automatic Filtration:
The Automatic Turbo-Disc Filter sets the standard for reliable, high-efficiency filtration. Utilizing a stack of injection-molded polypropylene disc media, the Automatic Turbo-Disc Filter is exceptionally durable and engineered for longevity. Automatic Turbo-Disc Filter systems are designed with a modular approach, where multiple filter housings (pods) are manifolded together with stainless steel inlet/outlet manifolds. The sizing of the system is a function of the flow rate and the solids’ loading in the application.The backflush cycle is rapid and precise, using a fraction of the flush water used by traditional automatic filters on the market.
Quality of Disc Filtration:
Although the three-dimensional disc media is the heart of the filter, there are other principles at work. As water enters the filter housing, it passes through the Turbo-Element at the base of the disc cartridge. The Turbo-Element spins the water at a high velocity, causing heavier particles (i.e. sediment) to centrifugally spin outward, away from the disc media.
The dirty water passes through the depth of the discs, from the outside to the inside. The discs contain grooves that run radially across the surface of the discs. These grooves are precisely molded in the surface of the discs, slightly tapered from the outside to the inside. On the opposite side of the disc surface, the grooves are running in the opposite direction, therefore creating a cross-hatching of grooves across the depth of the discs. |
