The bar screens made for wastewater treatment plants have evolved into few different forms over the years. But what unites them all is their durability. Today’s modern bar screens are made mostly of stainless steel. And their durable construction is essential to the wastewater treatment operations that depend the removal of large screenings function efficiently. By removing solids, bar screens help downstream processes work efficiently. And they prevent costly maintenance repairs that might otherwise disrupt the facility.
Bar screens typically work on a conveyor system. This allows the screen to pick up solids while allowing water to pass through. As solids accumulate on the screen, a rake or many rakes will wipe them off. Multiple rakes can be necessary to keep screenings from accumulating and preventing the flow of influent.
This type of bar screen uses multiple rakes to clean the grid, which is static. The rakes are attached by a chain mechanism. As with other bar screens, they are exceptional at coarse screenings. That’s something to keep in mind when you hear that multi-rake solutions have a low capture rate. Other benefits include:
Solutions like our Tiger Shark Multi-Rake Screen are versatile and can be used for various applications where large solids are present, including:
