- About Ultrascreen®
What is Ultrascreen®?
Ultrascreen® is a high-performance disc filter system designed for efficient removal of Total Suspended Solids (TSS) in both municipal and industrial wastewater treatment. It uses a series of rotating microscreen discs mounted on a central shaft inside a stainless steel tank to achieve high flow rates of up to 40 m³/h per unit.
With a compact design and built-in self-cleaning system, Ultrascreen® provides a reliable, low-maintenance solution that can handle heavy solids loading without clogging or media degradation.
Benefits of Ultrascreen®
Durability
Made entirely of stainless steel, Ultrascreen® resists wear, corrosion and degradation, ensuring long-lasting performance.
Adaptability
Adjustable speed and water depth let Ultrascreen® adapt to changing flow conditions for optimal performance.
Compact Design
Ultrascreen®'s compact design requires fewer units, making it ideal for installations with limited space.
Efficiency
Up to 40 m³/h flux rate, optimising solids removal while minimising unit footprint.
High Solids Handling
Capable of managing solids spikes up to 150 mg/l without clogging, Ultrascreen® provides reliable performance under challenging conditions.
Continuous Operation
With an integrated backwashing system, Ultrascreen® cleans without interrupting filtration, ensuring continuous operation.

Ultrascreen® in Action at a Wastewater Treatment Plant
This video shows Ultrascreen® in operation at a municipal WWTP, delivering high-efficiency solids removal during tertiary filtration. Designed to manage variable flows and high TSS loads, it continuously filters effluent through precision microscreen discs. With low energy use, automatic backwashing and a compact footprint, it offers a reliable, low-maintenance solution for modern treatment needs.
Internal Backwash System Demonstration
This video highlights Ultrascreen®’s unique internal wash system in action. Using filtered effluent for cleaning, the system performs automatic backwashing without interrupting flow. This ensures continuous operation, prevents clogging and reduces manual maintenance, making it ideal for high-load applications in wastewater treatment.
