Theory of Operation
Center Flow
Flow passes into the screen and is diverted through the grid on each side of the unit. Solids larger than the openings in the screen’s grid are collected and begin to form a mat which is removed undisturbed from the flow resulting in extremely high solids capture. Screening capture ratios increase as the solids form a thicker mat. Level sensing devices can be connected to variable speed drives to automatically compensate for high solids loading during peak flows or low flow conditions by proportionally speeding or slowing the grid travel speed. This increases the capacity of the equipment when needed and reduces wear, thereby extending the life of the equipment.
Solids are transported to the top of the screen as flow is constantly presented a clean grid surface. As screenings traverse up and over the top of the screen they are discharged into screening handling equipment. Drained wash water is discharged upstream – eliminating bypass.
Minimal friction is achieved through the use of Ultra High Molecular Weight Poly-Ethylene (UHMWPE) and stainless steel wear surfaces. Machined Delrin spacers precisely separate elements, eliminating metal-on-metal wear and extending the life of the grid. Wide stainless steel tracks ensure years of trouble-free operation.
The stainless steel foot section and wear tracks prevent solids bypass. Unlike traditional screens, all solids with diameters larger than screen opening sizes cannot pass under, through or over the screen. Even in the event debris is not unloaded by spray wash, it always remains on the “dirty” side of the screen.
Through Flow
Flow passes through the screen while solids are intercepted and collected by the continuously moving grid. Solids larger than the openings in the screen’s grid are collected and form a mat, which is removed undisturbed from the flow resulting in extremely high solids capture and easy unloading.
A low profile bottom shoe and polypropylene brush seals the grid, preventing solids from bypassing under the screen. Flow is constantly presented a clean grid surface as solids are transported to the top of the screen. Screenings are discharged into screening handling equipment.
Minimal friction is achieved through the use of Ultra High Molecular Weight Poly-Ethylene (UHMWPE) and stainless steel wear surfaces. Machined Delrin spacers precisely separate elements, eliminating metal-on-metal wear, reducing power and maintenance requirements and ultimately extending the life of the grid. Wide stainless steel tracks ensure years of trouble-free operation. Stainless steel grid elements provide superior strength while reducing area and headlosses. Heavy gauge stainless steel links are not susceptible to breaking and damaging downstream equipment.
Level sensing devices can be connected to variable speed drives to automatically compensate for high solids loading during peak flows or low flow conditions by proportionally speeding or slowing the grid travel speed. This increases the capacity of the equipment when needed and reduces wear, thereby extending the life of the equipment.
Sealing
Our patented sealing system holds extremely tight tolerances between panels and grid to frame, eliminating the bypass of solids and intrusion of abrasive grit. We can ensure a tight tolerance down to 0.5mm in all locations on the screen, even those areas that other screens leave vulnerable.
Grid-to-Frame
- Guide Links create a continuous chain around edge of selected grid
- Formed stainless steel plate creates a labyrinth seal with Guide Link slot
- Fully adjustable and removable for inspection
- Continuously sealed for entire submerged grid path
Panel-to-Panel
- Slotted stainless steel hook links separated by Delrin spacers
- Links support panels every 3” (75mm)
- Panels are closely held against spacers
- No neoprene to erode or fall off
- No hinge to loosen or stretch
- Simple in-situ replacement
Drive
Patented direct drives efficiently power the screen. Stainless steel sprockets support and pull the black UHMWPE Guide Links, resulting in little-to-no friction and long wear. Most importantly, no part of the drive touches the grid. Therefore, a bent grid element will not be compounded into a disabled screen.
Electric Drive
Resilience to weather, wear, and lack of maintenance make this model an excellent choice for virtually every installation. Through sensible design and material selection this headworks screen is very efficient, utilizing as low as a 0.5 hp (0.38 kW) electric motor. Screens will be wired to suit applications phase and voltage supplies. Chain guards are standard on all electrical models. Explosion proof motors are optional.
Hydraulic Drive
The Dusky Shark Septage Receiving Station with hydraulic drive incorporates all the benefits of the electric drive with the added capability to be operated submerged. This is a useful option when flooding can occur and reliability is key.
Features
- Solid stainless steel sprockets and drive shaft
- Lifts and supports grid
- Minimum four lugs engaged per sprocket
- Adjusts to tension grid to extend wear life of screen
- Grid does not touch drive or unloading mechanism
- Low friction guide links

Project Profiles
Drawing on our 40+ years of experience and more than 2,000 unique installations worldwide, your equipment will be specifically engineered to best fit the needs of your application.
Screenings Discharge
Our highly effective spray wash provides a superior method of cleaning the grid while prohibiting carryover. Spray nozzles efficiently direct pressurized water over the width of the grid to positively remove screenings and prevent carryover. This method of discharge requires a relatively clean source of water to avoid clogging. Conveyance and compaction may be recommended depending on disposal requirements.
Screenings Handling Equipment
An effective screenings handling system is a critical component to every water or wastewater treatment plant. Hydro-Dyne’s turn-key screenings handling solutions are manufactured at the highest level of quality and designed to accept, wash, dewater, compact and/or transport collected screenings. In wastewater applications, screening handling systems are particularly important as they are designed to return organic material to the channel and produce clean, dry and inorganic product that can be properly disposed of in either a container or bagging unit.
Screening Handling At-A-Glance
- Collect and convey screenings for disposal
- Returns organics and wash water to channel
- Screenings meet strict landfill requirements
- Compactors reduce disposal weight and volume
- Bagging units can contain odor
- Agitation can be introduced for more thorough cleaning
- Can be designed as integral and external models
- Shafted and shaftless screw flights
Thresher Shark Washing Machine
- Extremely thorough washing removes virtually all fecal material and produces “clean” and compacted screenings for disposal
