Principle of Operation The AQUA-SCREEN? is a continuous belt fine screen which can be easily installed in all types of channels. The flow capacity is dependant on the screen width, the perforation size, the open area of the filter panels and the upstream water level in the channel. Each screen can be designed exactly to suit the prevailing hydraulic conditions and can be operated either manually, on a timer basis or fully automatically using differential level controls. The AQUA -SCREEN? uses interlocking perforated plate panels to remove floating and suspended solids in the effluent flow. The stepped panels are carried on heavy duty travelling chains which are protected from the ingress of debris by Polyester bristle brushes. The captured screenings are elevated out of the flow and automatically ejected down a totally enclosed discharge chute.ApplicationsMunicipal sewage:River water intakeSewage screening at inlet worksScreening works and Imported sludgeScreening before bio-filtration plants Industrial(Chemistry - Pulp and Paper Miscellaneous)Intake water (from river, lake, channel)Screening before pumping stationsProcess water screening FeaturesMechanical FeaturesRobust frame reinforcedHeavy duty travelling drive chainHardened steel guide railsNo submerged bearingsFully adjustable cleaning brushInterchangeable brush sections Operational advantagesLow maintenance requirementsPerforated panels easily removedSpraybar or Deluged washwaterNo "hairpinning" problemsNo "fatting up" problems
