So here it is Draco’s New Bigger Medius Combi unit, with 58 micron screen as standard, 16 drum upfront, with capacity for 150 litres of media in the biological section.
• 12mm end plates and single piece curved body with integrated powder coated steel frame using slot and weld construction for maximum robustness
• Drum capable of 16000 litres an hour on standard 58 micron screen or 23000 litres an hour if using 77 micron screen (in gravity fed mode) 25% less for pump fed.
• Massive 150 litres of media for size of footprint
• Integral equipment tray with access ports on both sides of the unit
• Gravity and pump fed
• Digital drive motor with variable speed
• Auto wash sensing in parallel with forced 45 or 99 minute wash
• Full length downward flow, curved base bio section for optimum media performance and cleanliness – removes dead areas where bacteria can breed
• Corner transfer ports in the drum chamber to eliminate waste build up
• Continuing with our tradition of the concept we first introduced into the industry – completely modular parts design and 12v native power
• Designed and made entirely in the UK
• Dimensions – 1180(L) x 865(H) x 608(W)

The remotely sited controller has start / emergency stop buttons and a knob allowing you to change the length of wash. LED indicator shows the length of time between washes in minutes.

draco drum large bio
Draco Drum large Bio Unit

Draco Drum large Bio Unit was designed to co-ordinate with the Draco Drum Solum Range of drum filters, they utilise the same curved base configuration to reduce dirt traps and can be installed either singly or in multiples.

Advantages with the Draco Drum large Bio Unit:

  • The Design also causes the bio media to more easily circulate, thereby increasing the amount of bio media your water touches as it travels through the unit.
  • Can be installed in multiple configurations to make best use of the space you have available.
  • Triple 4″ inlets / twin 2″ outlets but can be modified for individual needs.
  • 1.5″ Ball valve drain
  • Dimensions – 740mm wide x 1140mm long x 840mm depth.
  • Holds 300 litres of typical bio media and half a tonne of water.
  • Double central air line.
  • One unit capable of filtering ponds of approx. 10,000 UK gallons.

How does the Draco Drum large Bio Unit work?

Operation of the Draco Drum large Bio Unit

Draco Drum large Bio Unit unit is configured as a downward flow, diverted input unit with longitudinal air delivery, to manage water flow around the chamber, maximising the active volume for bio filtration.

Incoming water at the top will have a tendency to “track” diagonally or straight down to the outlet, the path of “least resistance”. By making it interact with the air from the bottom of the tank, this waterflow is disrupted and forced back upwards.

If part of the incoming flow is diverted towards the centre of the tank, the water is forced into the area where the air is rising, enhancing this flow disruption and pushing the water out to the sides.

As the water is pushed sideways at the surface of the unit, it has no choice but to travel downwards when it hits the side. The bottom of the chamber is curved, helping that downward flow turn into a circulatory movement. When reaching the airbar right at the bottom of the unit, the water is forced back up to repeat the circulation until it exists out of the far end. This curved bottom also eliminates any corners where debris may accumulate.
