From grain to feed

Intake Filter

Liquids used in feed and petfood production vary widely in viscosity and composition and may contain coarse contaminants that accumulate in storage tanks, causing blockages or pump failure. The Ottevanger Intake Filter increases effective filter surface area to lower flow resistance during discharge, reducing tank emptying times by up to 30%. The filter is easy to change and clean, and is available with various mesh sizes to suit different liquid products, an efficient way to avoid soiling in storage tanks and minimise process downtime.

  • Up to 30% shorter discharge time due to increased filter surface area
  • Quick change and cleaning with stainless steel connecting piece (no flanges)
  • Various sieve mesh sizes for different liquid products
  • Helps prevent blockages and pump failure from coarse particles
  • Easy to use, supporting efficient discharge routines

Performance & Applications

Overview

Key benefits

Discover the key benefits of the Intake Filter, designed for faster, cleaner tank discharge with minimal downtime.

  • Faster discharge, tank emptying time reduced by up to 30% through lower flow resistance.
  • Lower risk of blockages and pump damage by capturing coarse particles.
  • Reduced operator time thanks to quick change and straightforward cleaning.
  • Cleaner storage tanks; the renewed design helps eliminate soiling.
  • Applicable to a wide range of liquids via selectable mesh sizes.


Available executions

All machines can be customised. The Intake Filter can be supplied as a compact module for installation at the storage tank and connected to the plant’s liquid system.

  • Range of sieve mesh sizes to match liquid characteristics and particle loads.
  • Stainless steel connecting piece for rapid changeover and cleaning.
