Cutting Filters

The Slootsmid Cutting Filters are specifically designed for optimal filtering and reduction of coarse materials in the manure flow. Thanks to the well-engineered construction with durable, wear-resistant blades, the manure is evenly shredded, preventing blockages in the applicator and significantly extending the lifespan of pumps and installations.

Slootsmid Cutting Filters – Optimal filtration and protection of your slurry flow

Slootsmid Cutting Filters are specially developed to optimise the slurry flow by filtering and reducing coarse particles in slurry or digestate. Thanks to the robust, fully galvanised housing and the efficient knife design, the cutting filters prevent blockages in slurry tanks, vacuum tanks, pump units and installations such as manure separators or transfer pump sets. This increases operational reliability and extends the service life of your equipment.

With reliable performance, low maintenance requirements and multiple connection options, Slootsmid Cutting Filters can be installed on virtually any tank or system, both new and existing.

Why choose Slootsmid Cutting Filters?

1. Optimal filtration for a trouble-free slurry flow

The cutting filters prevent coarse material and fibres from entering the slurry flow and damaging pumps or distribution components. Efficient filtration ensures an optimal flow rate and significantly reduces blockages.

2. Robust design for maximum durability

The fully galvanised housing is resistant to aggressive conditions and built for a long service life. The high-quality blades are made from manganese steel and operate with high precision, ensuring consistent cutting and filtration performance.

3. Efficient cutting of fibres and solid particles

The star-shaped blade design provides smooth rotation and cuts fibres before they can cause damage elsewhere in the system. This reduces the load on downstream equipment and improves overall processing efficiency.

4. Suitable for any tank or installation

With available 6″ and 8″ connections, the cutting filter can be easily fitted to vacuum tanks, pump tankers, slurry pumps, applicators and mobile systems. Retrofit on existing installations is also possible.

5. Easy to maintain

Slootsmid Cutting Filters are designed for quick access and cleaning. All components are easily reachable, and wear parts can be replaced quickly, contributing to low maintenance costs.

What is a Slootsmid Cutting Filter used for?

A Slootsmid Cutting Filter is used to filter and reduce coarse particles and fibres in the slurry flow, preventing blockages in pumps, vacuum tanks, applicators or manure separators. This ensures an optimal flow rate and significantly reduces wear on machines.

Which installations can a Slootsmid Cutting Filter be connected to?

The cutting filters are suitable for virtually any tank or installation, including vacuum tanks, pump tankers, slurry pumps, mobile separation systems and applicators. With available 6″ and 8″ connections, they can be easily mounted on both new and existing systems.

What makes Slootsmid Cutting Filters so durable?

The cutting filters feature a fully galvanised housing and blade sets made from manganese steel, providing exceptional wear resistance. This robust construction ensures a long service life, even under heavy-duty conditions or slurry streams with high contamination.

Are Slootsmid Cutting Filters easy to clean and maintain?

Yes, the cutting filters are designed for quick and accessible cleaning. The housing can be opened easily, and all wear parts are fully accessible and quick to replace. Thanks to the practical construction, maintenance costs remain low and downtime is minimal.

How does a cutting filter prevent blockages in the slurry flow?

The star-shaped blade design cuts fibres and solid material before they can cause damage or enter distribution systems. At the same time, the filter ensures a constant slurry flow, preventing blockages in pumps, distribution systems and injectors.
