AFM® is a bioresistant and self-sterilising filter media. The raw material used to make the AFM® is recycled green glass which is ground into the optimal shape. The crucial stage of the production of this filter media is the activation process. This process creates a mesoporous structure with a huge catalytic surface which makes it self-sanitizing and bioresistant, which results in the prevention of the biofilm formation.

The larger is the surface, the higher is the bioresistance performance and AFM® has a surface which is 300 times greater than quartz or glass sand.

Comparison between quartz, glass sand and AFM®

AFM® has a Surface which is around 300 times greater than glass or quartz sand. 

For the replacement of sand or filter glass, it has to be considered that sand has a weight of 1,450 kg/m3, instead the specific weight of AFM® is 1,250 kg/m3.

Therefore, it needs around 15% less of AFM® based on the weight.

Example: if the filter has 150 kg of sand, only 125 kg of AFM® are needed.

AFM recommends stratification:

strati

AFM® grain 1 = from 0.5 to 1.0 mm around 70%
AFM® grain 2 = from 1.0 to 2.0 mm around 15%
AFM® grain 3 = from 2 to 4 mm around 15 %

For the filters with diameter smaller than 1000 mm and for all plate filters 70% of AFM® 0.5 -1.0 mm and 30% of AFM® 1.0 -2.0 mm are recommended.

AFM® 2-4 mm is, instead, recommended for filters with larger diameters, in order to have a proper filtration.

Sack with 21 kg which replaces a sack of sand with 25 kg.

Delivery: 4/5 days from the order.
