Smarter, greener, cleaner– the future of disc filtration!

The panels are Individually inserted into the disc and removable as single units. This modular approach allows targeted cleaning and replacement. 

Innovation isn’t just about improving performance — it’s about making everyday operations easier, more sustainable, and more cost-effective. That’s exactly what NP Innovation has set out to achieve with their latest development: BioGuard SWIFT – a patent pending innovation, offering exclusive technology you won’t find anywhere else.

Progress means improving - not replacing what already works. With this mindset, NP Innovation has once again raised the bar for filtration in land-based fish farming.

Enter the BioGuard SWIFT disc filter panel. At the heart of this innovation is TIDE Technology – Tool-less Integrated Detachable Element – a design optimized for quick, tool-free maintenance.

NP Innovation's BioGuard SWIFT represents the next generation of disc filtration. 

Click, lift and SWIFT 

This technology sets a new benchmark for disc filtration by combining functionality with an even more user-friendly design. 

– Thanks to the lid, the panel can be easily removed and replaced with no tools needed. Meaning faster service, maximized uptime, lower replacement costs and simplified technician training, says Anders Klemedtson, R&D Manager at NP Innovation.

The BioGuard SWIFT panel also provides direct access to the reject channel for easy inspection and effective washdown, offering a significantly improved capability for process oversight. And thanks to its lid, routine cleaning and hygienic maintenance becomes both simple and efficient.

– The panel has been engineered to improve the removal of large particles, designed to keep water cleaner, fish healthier, and farms more productive, Anders Klemedtson adds.

The panel design allows direct access to the reject channel for easy inspection and washdown.

A greener panel for a bluer planet

BioGuard SWIFT is developed with sustainability at its core. It’s made from a single recyclable material, glue-free, and designed to minimize shipping volume.

Instead of replacing the entire cassette, users only need to change the panel — resulting in less unnecessary waste, helping businesses to lower their environmental impact and reduce their spare part stock by up to 50%.

– Environmental responsibility is a key part of every design decision we make at NP Innovation. We understand that our customers are already running efficient operations with our current solutions. But with the BioGuard SWIFT panel, we’re taking an even greater step toward a more sustainable aquaculture industry, says Anders Klemedtson.

Your pace, your way — Retrofit ready

Whether the business is running a large RAS facility or managing a compact land-based farm – BioGuard SWIFT is designed with retrofit compatibility in mind and easily integrates into your existing filter setup.

Johan Blomfelt, Aftersales Manager at NP Innovation, explains:

– We work closely with each customer to find the best fit — whether it’s a gradual upgrade with just a few discs or a full system overhaul. The key is flexibility. We make sure everything works smoothly with their current setup, so they can move forward at their own pace, without any disruption, More information on our latest innovation: BioGuard SWIFT with TIDE technology
