About OASE BioTec ScreenMatic² 60000
The BioTec ScreenMatic² 60000 is a flow‑through continuous belt pond filter from OASE intended for mechanical and biological filtration of larger garden ponds. The unit uses a self‑cleaning belt system that runs automatically (sensor‑controlled) to remove coarse debris from the incoming water; extracted debris is collected in a large debris basket and may be expelled via the bottom sludge discharge. OASE lists a maximum flow rate of 11,000 l/h for this model and specifies the drive motor’s electrical consumption as 5 W (the drive is supplied via a 12 V AC secondary powered from a 230 V/50 Hz mains power unit). The product is supplied with a combination of filter media: eight filter foams (2 blue, 3 red, 3 purple) and 3.50 kg of special filter granulate; the belt captures coarse particles down to 300 µm. Physical connections and dimensions are provided by OASE: inlet options 25 / 32 / 38 mm (also shown as 1", 1¼", 1½"), outlet DN 75, and sludge discharge DN 50. The unit measures 788 × 590 × 545 mm (L × W × H) and has a net weight of 24 kg. OASE states suitability for ponds up to 60.0 m³ (60,000 L), for ponds with fish stock up to 30.0 m³ (30,000 L) and for koi/heavily stocked ponds up to 15.0 m³ (15,000 L). The product page also documents compatibility for direct connection to specified OASE clarifiers (Bitron C and Bitron Eco series) and lists downloadable 2D drawing and instruction manual resources.
Best for
Large garden ponds requiring mechanical and biological flow‑through filtration; suitable for ponds up to 60,000 L, fish ponds up to 30,000 L and koi/heavily stocked ponds up to 15,000 L (manufacturer stated).
Things to consider
Manufacturer data do not provide a maximum head (m) or a flow vs. head curve for pump matching. The unit has no integrated UVC; OASE lists compatible external UVC units instead. The product page lists cable length in two parts (power unit + supply cable) rather than a single cable length value, so a single numeric cableLengthM is not given here. No IP/protection rating, operating pressure, or detailed installation depth/immersion limits are stated on the OASE product page for this exact model.
Installation
Requires a 230 V / 50 Hz mains supply to the supplied power unit which provides 12 V AC to the drive. Inlet sizing options and outlet/sludge connections are provided by the manufacturer (25/32/38 mm inlets; DN 75 outlet; DN 50 sludge). OASE documents direct connection options to specified Bitron clarifiers. Consult the OASE instruction manual and 2D drawing (available on the product page) for detailed siting and plumbing guidance.
Maintenance
The ScreenMatic² uses a sensor‑controlled automatic belt to remove debris; the belt can be folded out for manual cleaning and the bottom drain/slide plus sludge discharge facilitate sludge removal. The unit is supplied with filter foams and filter granulate; follow the manufacturer instruction manual for recommended cleaning and media servicing procedures (intervals are not specified on the product page).
Safety
Unit uses a 230 V mains supply and a low‑voltage 12 V AC drive via the supplied power unit; follow the OASE instruction manual for electrical connection and safe operation. The product page does not list an IP rating or specific immersion/siting safety limits—refer to the manufacturer documentation before installation.
