DrainEezy® Debris Guard

DrainEezy Debris Guard is a high-performance add-on pre-filter solution as your 3-stage filtration system engineered to extend the life of your DrainEezy Transformer Bund Filter. Designed for transformer bunds, it catches larger debris and coarser sediment at the first point of entry, preventing premature blockage of water flow to the finer sediment pre-filter and safeguarding the primary filter beyond. The result is a seamless three-stage filtration defence that keeps hydrocarbon-contaminated rainwater from ever reaching the environment.

Attachment is fast and flexible: snap it to ferrous bunds using powerful epoxy-coated neodymium magnets or bolt it securely to non-ferrous surfaces using four M8 screws. No specialist tools. No downtime. Just reliable, long-term protection.

Key Features

  • Extends the life of DrainEezy Transformer Bund Filters by preventing premature blockage of debris and sediment.
  • Designed for minimal and efficient maintenance through easy dry brush cleaning.
  • The cage and lid are manufactured from a high-performance carbon fibre reinforced thermoplastic engineered for durability in harsh industrial environments. This material delivers excellent UV stability, structural strength and reliable performance across a temperature range of -5°C to +60°C, with strong resistance to moisture and creep.
  • Flexible dual-fixing system with two secure installation options:
    • Magnetic Fixing for Ferrous Bunds: Epoxy-coated neodymium magnets (supplied) enable fast, tool-free installation.
    • Screw Fixing for Non-Ferrous Bunds: For non-ferrous bunds, the unit is secured using four M8 screws (not supplied). Screw length should be selected to suit the bund wall thickness, and 316 stainless steel screws are recommended to ensure long-term corrosion resistance.
  • All metal components are 316 grade stainless steel to ensure corrosion resistance, long-term durability and a non-reactive surface compatible with transformer and ester oils.
  • Replaceable filter mesh with high flow rate, corrosion and weather resistance, and easy to clean.
  • Integrated bypass openings on the lid allow excess water to bypass the filter during extreme rainfall, helping prevent overflowing.
  • Engineered for solar, wind, battery energy storage systems (BESS), data centre and substation transformer bund environment.

GRR 03 50 10 PREF DrainEezy Debris Guard Large debris and coarse sediment W00 x D00 x Hxx mm

 

Three-Stage Filtration:

The Debris Guard integrates seamlessly into the DrainEezy filtration cascade:

  1. Stage 1 – DrainEezy Debris Guard: Captures large debris before it enters the system
  2. Stage 2 – DrainEezy Pre-Filter: Filters finer sediment particles to 100-microns
  3. Stage 3 – DrainEezy Bund Filter: Removes hydrocarbons, discharging only clean water into the environment

 

FAQs

What is the Green Rhino DrainEezy Debris Guard used for?

The DrainEezy Debris Guard is a pre-filtration add-on accessory designed for transformer bunds. It captures large debris and prevents blockage of water flow before it reaches the DrainEezy Transformer Bund Filter, extending filter life and helping prevent hydrocarbon-contaminated rainwater from discharging into the environment.

How does the DrainEezy Debris Guard attach to a transformer bund?

The DrainEezy Debris Guard can be fixed to ferrous bunds using epoxy-coated neodymium magnets for a fast, tool-free installation. For non-ferrous bunds, it is secured using four M8 screws. The appropriate screw length depends on the bund wall thickness.

What material is the DrainEezy Debris Guard made from?

The cage and lid are made from a high-performance carbon fibre reinforced thermoplastic that is UV stable, structurally strong, thermally stable, moisture resistant, and creep resistant. Hardware components are 316 stainless steel. Magnets are epoxy-coated neodymium magnets with high magnetic strength and corrosion resistant.

How often does the DrainEezy Debris Guard need to be maintained?

The DrainEezy Debris Guard is designed for minimal upkeep. It requires only an annual maintenance inspection and can be cleaned using a dry brush. The filter mesh is replaceable, avoiding the need to replace the entire unit.

What temperature range can the DrainEezy Debris Guard operate in?

The DrainEezy Debris Guard is rated for an operating temperature range of -5°C to +60°C, making it suitable for a wide range of outdoor environments and climatic conditions.

Is the DrainEezy Debris Guard compatible with ester oil transformer bunds?

Yes. The DrainEezy Debris Guard is resistant to both transformer oil and ester oil, making it suitable for modern ester oil-filled transformer installations as well as traditional mineral oil transformer bunds

What is the difference between the DrainEezy Debris Guard and the DrainEezy Pre-Filter?

The DrainEezy Debris Guard is the first stage of filtration, capturing larger debris at the bund wall. The DrainEezy Pre-Filter then captures finer sediment particles. Both are add-on accessories that protect the primary DrainEezy Transformer Bund Filter from premature blockage and extend its operational lifespan.
