Flocell - Model Xpel -Filter
Designed to be used in conjunction with aquaria and commercial fish racking setups, for rearing, maintaining and displaying live fish and crustaceans. The Flocell Xpel Particle Filters are used globally to maintain optimal water quality with the flexibility to manage a variety of biological loads to keep the aquatic livestock in perfect health condition. Available in 200mm diameter, and a choice of manual and automatic cleaning options and can be used for either single-pass or continuous filtration of a fixed volume of water.

Effective & Sustainable
Filtration Systems
Millions of carrier elements act like lamella separators reducing water velocity and allowing for the smallest particles to separate out into the media voids. The uninterrupted flow allows for constant and prolonged settlement within the filter pack. The Flocell open cell media allow for high retention capacity so you only need to clean the filter once a month in most applications and save energy because only a small pump is needed or no pump at all on a gravity set-up.
Air Clean Technology
Flocell filters with Air Clean Technology use air to clean rather than a traditional backwash cycle. The short air cleaning cycle is done by introducing air into the filter using a low-energy blower or with our patented siphon solution, depending on the application, to agitate the media pack and purge the contained solids. The open cell structure of the Flocell media enables high-retention capacity for extended periods of operation without interruption needed for cleaning. Using air reduces the energy needed and the vast amount of water wasted during cleaning; only the single volume of the filter is discharged and produces a highly concentrated and manageable effluent that infrequently needs to be purged. With Flocell Air Clean Technology, the water and power savings are significant and operation virtually maintenance-free.
Auto Cleaning
Automatic cleaning control box option available on request. Reduce labour time spent on manual cleaning. Opt for the self-cleaning option and Flocell Xpel automatically cleans waste from the system. The integrated control box contains an adjustable timer which initiates the cleaning cycle automatically.
Independently Tested
Flocell open cell media has been independently tested by the IFTS (Institut de la Filtration et des Technique Séparatives) in France and Cranfield University to offer vastly superior performance in terms of retention capacity, retention efficiency, energy consumption and power use.
