The new filters were designed and developed by a pioneer in the development of modern drum filters, Nils-Åke Persson, founder of Hydrotech, who eventually sold the company to an American firm in 2002.  

In 2013 Nils and partners re-entered the microscreen market as NP Innovation, introducing several key innovations which WMT says will lower the capital cost of drum and disc filters and also lower the cost of ownership. Nils is private-labeling his filters in North America (USA & Canada) and Mexico under the WMT Brand.

The new WMT Drumfilter is built on the proven benefits of the microscreen drumfilter now used extensively in various aquaculture and wastewater applications around the world.

It utilizes a mechanical, self-cleaning microscreen filter designed for high performance in water-treatment systems where it’s essential to minimize particle break-up.

  • Increased submergence (Up to 65%)
  • Non-metallic chain drive
  • Two styles of filter elements (PG or MR)
