LFS HCF-Series Horizontal Canister Filters

Our Prime HCF-Series Horizontal Cannister Filters are designed to remove solids from from water that can ultimately be re-used or sent to wastewater treatment systems.Typically used in conjunction with Prime’s LFS-Series Screens as the second of a two-stage process, HCF Series filters pass process water through wedgewire screens with gaps of .005 inches (125 microns), in volumes ranging up to 600 GPM. A typical system includes as a first stage a Prime LFS-Series rotating stainless-steel wedgewire drum screen that pre-screens out particulate smaller than .010 inches (250 microns).JBT Prime is the leader in water re-use, and our engineering team can spec out any size system for any need, from self-contained units to full-room systems with auto-balancing capabilities.

Water Filtration & Re-Use Overview

Go Green: JBT Prime Water Conservation Systems

JBT Prime engineers literally wrote the book on water conservation in poultry plants in the mid-2000s. That is when the experts at the facility that became Prime-Gainesville worked with the USDA to craft the regulations that allowed processing plants to save water, money and the environment by filtering and re-circulating water.

The concept is simple:

  • Evisceration and paw water are best for conservation
  • Collect water that normally drains to treatment
  • In evisceration, screen out solids via two drum screens to the 0.008 level, then filter further to the 0.005 level
  • With paws, screen solids out to the 0.015 level
  • Add anti-microbial agents as needed
  • Pump the water up-line for re-use


The savings can be substantial:

  • Saving 200 GPM at $4.50/k gal = $864.00 savings per day, or $216,000.00 savings per year.

JBT Prime Water Reuse System

Conserve water, reduce energy costs, and improve sustainability with JBT’s water reuse system

It’s more important than ever before to balance your sustainability efforts with the cost of capital and labor. The JBT Prime Water Reuse System is designed to dramatically reduce your water and energy consumption with minimal initial investments of time and money. It’s a customizable, recirculating water sanitation system that’s built to integrate with the rest of your equipment and processes.

Our exceptional engineers at JBT Prime developed the system to automate and simplify the water sanitation process, help reduce chemical use, and lower the cost of ownership by minimizing the need for piping, utilities, and labor. It’s user-friendly and convenient, built to save you money and labor while enabling you to do the right thing by recycling and reusing water. It’s also tough and durable and requires minimal maintenance and employee training.

Features & Benefits

At JBT, we’re committed to developing advanced solutions that remove the need for sacrifice and compromise. You don’t have to choose between efficiency, cost savings, and automation. With JBT’s Prime Water Reuse System, you get all three in a completely turnkey, customizable system.

Here are just a few of the features you’ll gain:

  • Easy to operate – Our Prime water reuse system was designed to be automated and intuitive to operate; it also requires minimal maintenance over time.
  • Integratable – The system was developed with the specific purpose of minimizing disruptions and integrating seamlessly into your existing processes.
  • Sustainable – Save water while doing your part to create a more environmentally responsible future in your industry.
  • Compliant – We perfected the system with rigorous development and testing, and then worked with the USDA to create the rules that allow water to be reused in poultry plants; cutting your water consumption can eliminate municipal fines for excess water usage.
  • Efficient and cost-effective – Companies that employ our Prime water screening and reuse systems can often reuse 90% or more of the water collected at their facilities, reducing overall water consumption (and associated energy costs) by as much as 20%, depending on the application.
  • Superior performance – Our Prime water screening and reuse systems can remove solid particles greater than 0.008 inches (200 microns) in size, in volumes ranging from 50-70 GPM.

Unmatched Flexibility & Convenience

The JBT Prime water reuse engineering team has more than 20 years of experience designing and developing simple, effective solutions.

Our engineers carefully designed the water reuse system with diverse customer needs in mind. A standard system includes a first-stage rotating stainless-steel wedge-wire drum screen for larger particles, which is followed by second-stage vertical filters for finer particles. Our team can also engineer a complete control package, using VFDs, flow meters, and sensors to provide a comprehensive, self-balancing system that requires minimal manual oversight. Our JBT Prime team can customize our systems to meet your plant’s needs. 

Common process water-reuse sources include:

  • Bird washer (iobw) chiller overflow
  • Rinse cabinets bird scalder
  • Bird scrubber raw picker scalder
  • Hock scrubbers and more
