Overview
- Low flow step-style screen design for smaller treatment plants
- Grid opening sizes range from 3mm to 9mm
- Dry unloading
Theory of Operation
Flow passes through the screen while solids are intercepted and collected by the static and dynamic elements of the grid. Through the upward stepping motion of the dynamic elements, the collected solids are transported to the top of the grid and positively discharged without brushes or water. Spacers on the dynamic grid control the opening size of the screen. Foot spacers are elongated to maintain a constant grid opening (3-9mm options), provide screen support and prohibit bypass.
The stepping motion continuously cleans the submerged grid, while the patented design eliminates bypass and carry-over. Particles and suspended solids are deposited on the face of the grid as the wastewater passes through.
