Adams offers a wide range of Rotary Distributors, which have set the industry standards throughout the 20th century. Catering for various sizes of beds and flows, this range includes the Cresset, Weir Cresset, Self-seal and automatic feed 'Self-Dosing' distributors.

Cresset/Weir Cresset
The success of the Cresset / Weir Cresset distributor is down largely to the Airlock Seal that is formed between the fixed outer tank and the rotating inner tank. This Airlock seal is almost frictionless and makes the machine ideal for installation in very low hydraulic head situations whilst still maintaining the ability to achieve jet reaction.

The Weir Cresset is simply an extension to the Standard Cresset, which gives the option of a very efficient flow split through the machine, to give optimum distribution at minimum and maximum flows.

Self-Seal
The Self-Seal distributor has a very compact gland and base flange attachment, which makes it ideal for installation where the duckfoot base is close to the top surface of the filter media.

It is especially well suited to replacement of older types of distributor where modifications to the existing feed system would be both costly and time consuming. The centres are delivered to site, fully assembled to ensure down time on operational works are kept to a minimum.

The seal between the rotating and fixed columns is achieved by means of a simple nitrile rubber 'V' seal running in gunmetal gland housing.

The Self-Seal is also capable of taking a direct pumped flow and like the Weir Cresset can be configured to pass split flows to achieve optimum distribution at minimum and maximum flows.

Self-Dosing
The Self-Dosing distributor is ideal for small works that are fed by low infrequent flows.

The distribution is controlled by use of a simple built in dosing syphon incorporated in the main centre collection tank.

Installation is very simple, the machine is supported from rolled steel supporting channels, which span the distributor bed, and the feed pipework is simply supported from these channels.

Paddle Wheel Drive
The Paddle Wheel Drive distributor is a more recent addition to our range and was developed with absolute minimum maintenance in mind.

The arms are open trough with the discharge being through 'V' notches in the distribution arms, which almost eliminates the need for clearing the arms and discharges notches.

To add to the low maintenance benefits, the machine is manufactured almost entirely from Stainless Steel and GRP.

Travelling Distibutors
The Adams range of travelling distributors takes all the experience of many years of manufacture and harnesses it with more up to date materials in the form of stainless steel and GRP (glass reinforced plastic), which leads to a very clean and low maintenance solution.

Our in house engineering facility can modify the basic design to fit most existing installations.
