Municipal water and wastewater screening
Civil sump screening
Industrial water and wastewater screening
| Application | Screening of civil and industrial waste water. Screening of water for hydroelecgtric power plants. Screening of water for land reclamation works. |
| Characteristics | The machine is equipped with a fixed bar screen and movable cleaning rake driven by chains installed above the water level. |
| Operation | The coarse bodies in the waste water are stopped by the bar screen. This material is removed by the cleaning rake and discharged in the upper part, out of water. The rake is guided by two lateral trolleys which are driven by two transmission chains. |
| Materials | Compact machine: hot dip galvanized carbon steel or stainless steel. The chains and the moving parts are always above the water level. |
| Installation | In a concrete channel. |
| Channel width | From 1000 to 2500 mm. |
| Degree of filtration | From 20 to 80 mm. |
| Advantages | Chains and moving parts above the water level |
| Optional | Torque limiting device to measure the cleaning rake stress with alarm and/or machine shutdown. Walkway and ladder to reach the top mechanical members. |
The machine operation is controlled by a Pause-ON timer. If the water level upstream the mechanical bar screen should increase and exceed a pre-set threshold, a level measurer can start the machine, even during the pause phase. The machine stop and the beginning of the pause phase is possible only whether the cleaning rake has reached a pre-set position out of water and the material collected has been discharged. The machine is operated by a geared motor which moves the cleaning rake. During the lowering phase, the cleaning rake is in open position and remains open as far as the lowest position is reached. When the cleaning rake reaches the bottom of the channel, the chain makes the rake get closer to the bar screen. So during the lifting phase, the rake cleans the bars and holds the screened material inside. Before the cleaning rake reaches the top position, a special device cleans its internal part and discharges the material outside, into a container or on a belt conveyor. At the top, a limit switch controls the cleaning rake operation.

The machine operation is controlled by a Pause-ON timer. If the water level upstream the mechanical bar screen should increase and exceed a pre-set threshold, a level measurer can start the machine, even during the pause phase. The machine stop and the beginning of the pause phase is possible only whether the cleaning rake has reached a pre-set position out of water and the material collected has been discharged. The machine is operated by a geared motor which moves the cleaning rake (lifting and lowering) and an oil-pressure unit for a strong engagement and disengagement of the rake. During the lowering phase, the cleaning rake is in open position and remains open as far as the lowest position is reached. When the cleaning rake reaches the bottom of the channel, a limit switch stops it. The oil-pressure piston makes the rake get deeply into the spaces between bars, then the geared motor receives a re-start signal and lifts the cleaning rake to the discharge point. The piston is equipped with two internal proximity sensors which allow the total use of its stroke. During the lifting phase, the rake cleans the bars and holds the screened material inside. Before the cleaning rake reaches the top position, a special device cleans its internal part and discharges the material outside, into a container or on a belt conveyor. At the top, a limit switch stops the motor and reverses the motion to make the cleaning rake go down again. Meanwhile, the oil-pressure cylinder has taken the rake out of the screen.

| Utilizzo | Grigliatura acque di scarico civili ed industriali |
| Caratteristiche | La macchina è costituita da una griglia fissa e da una benna comandata da due gruppi di comando, uno per la movimentazione verticale e l’altro per l’apertura e chiusura della stessa. |
| Funzionamento | I corpi grossolani sono intercettati dalla griglia. Il materiale grigliato è asportato dalla benna mobile e scaricato nella parte superiore fuori acqua. La benna è guidata da due carrelli, che sono movimentati da due sistemi a fune (uno per il movimento verticale e l’altro per l’apertura e la chiusura ). |
| Costruzione | Macchina compatta in acciaio zincato o inossidabile. Gli organi di comando sono sempre fuori acqua |
| Installazione | In canale di calcestruzzo. |
| Larghezza del canale | Da 1000 a 3000 mm. |
| Grado di filtrazione | Da 15 a 100 mm. |
| Vantaggi | Adatta per canali molto profondi, con presenza di sabbia sul fondo e solidi di grosse dimensioni. |
| Svantaggi | Non adatta per canali di piccole dimensioni. |
| Opzioni | Cella dinamometrica per misurare lo sforzo del pettine pulitore con allarme e/o blocco griglia. Passerella e scala per accedere agli organi meccanici posti superiormente. |
La macchina è comandata da un timer pausa-lavoro. Qualora il livello dell’acqua a monte della griglia aumentasse superando una determinata soglia, un misuratore di livello può imporre il riavvio della griglia anche se questa è in fase di pausa. La fermata in pausa della macchina avviene solo se la benna ha raggiunto una determinata posizione fuori acqua ed a scarico avvenuto. La macchina è azionata da 2 motoriduttori, uno aziona il sollevamento del pettine pulitore e l’altro aziona il gruppo di inserimento e disinserimento del pettine nella griglia. Nella parte superiore del gruppo di comando vi sono 3 tamburi: 2 laterali ed uno centrale. I tamburi sono comandati da un motoriduttore ed avvolgono e svolgono le funi che sollevano ed abbassano il pettine pulitore. Il secondo motoriduttore aziona una puleggia che avvolge e svolge la fune centrale provocando l’avvicinamento e l’ allontanamento della benna dalla griglia. Nella fase di discesa del carrello , la benna è in posizione di apertura fino a quando viene raggiunta la posizione più bassa. Quando la benna appoggia sul fondo, la fune di traino si allenta ed interviene un fine corsa (collegato sul tiro della fune) a bloccare il motoriduttore. Si inverte il senso di rotazione del 1° motoriduttore e si aziona il secondo motoriduttore che avvolge la fune centrale, così facendo la benna si impegna nella griglia. Avviene quindi la fase di risalita durante la quale la benna pulisce la griglia e trattiene lo sgrigliato all’interno. Prima che la benna raggiunga la posizione superiore, un apposito dispositivo provvede a pulirne la parte interna ed a scaricare il materiale in un cassonetto o su di un nastro trasportatore. Nel punto superiore un fine corsa ferma il motore che aziona il sollevamento della griglia e ne inverte il moto iniziando la corsa di discesa. Nel frattempo il 2°motoriduttore aziona il tamburo centrale che allontana il pettine pulitore dalla griglia. La corsa di discesa avviene con la benna distanziata dalla griglia.

| Application | Screening of civil and industrial waste water |
| Characteristics | The machine is equipped with a fixed bar screen and a bucket controlled by two drive units, one for the vertical motion and one for the opening and closing. |
| Operation | The coarse bodies in the waste water are stopped by the bar screen. This material is removed by the moving bucket and discharged in the upper part, out of water. The bucket is guided by two trolleys which are driven by two cable systems (one for the vertical motion and one for the opening and closing). |
| Materials | Compact machine: hot dip galvanized carbon steel or stainless steel. The control parts are always above the water level. |
| Installation | In a concrete channel. |
| Channel width | From 1000 to 3000 mm. |
| Degree of filtration | From 15 to 100 mm. |
| Advantages | Suitable for very deep channels, even with sand on the bottom and/or large size solids. |
| Disadvantages | Not suitable for small or shallow channels. |
| Optional | Torque limiting device to measure the bucket/rake stress with alarm and/or machine shutdown. Walkway and ladder to reach the top mechanical members. |
The machine operation is controlled by a Pause-ON timer. If the water level upstream the mechanical bar screen should increase and exceed a pre-set threshold, a level measurer can start the machine, even during the pause phase. The machine stop and the beginning of the pause phase is possible only whether the bucket has reached a pre-set position out of water and the material collected has been discharged. The machine is controlled by no. 2 geared motors, one for the bucket lifting and lowering and the second one for its engagement into the bar screen and then for its disengagement. In the drive unit upper part, there are no. 3 drums (no. 2 side drums + no. 1 central drum). They are driven by a geared motor and they wind and unwind the cables which lift and lower the screening bucket/rake. The second geared motor operates a pulley which controls the bucket/rake operation by winding and unwinding the central cable. During the lowering phase, the bucket is in open position and remains open as long as the lowest position is reached. When the bucket lays on the bottom, the traction cable is loosened and a limit switch intervenes to stop the motor (this limit switch is connected to the cable). Then, the first geared motor rotation direction is reversed, the second geared motor starts up to wind the central cable and the bucket/rake is inserted into the bar screen. So the bucket/rake is lifted again and during the lifting phase it cleans the bar screen and holds the screened material inside. Before the bucket gets to the top position, it is cleaned by a special device and the screened material is discharged outside, into a container or on a belt conveyor. At the top, a limit switch stops the motor and reverses the motion to make the bucket go down again. Meanwhile, the second geared motor moves the central drum which separates the screening rake from the bar screen. During the lowering phase, the bucket/rake remains far from the bar screen.

The machine operation is controlled by a Pause-ON timer. If the water level in the tank of the water to be treated should increase and exceed a pre-set threshold, a level measurer can start the machine, even during the pause phase. The water to be treated goes to the feed tank and is distributed all over the drum surface. The machine is operated by a geared motor which controls its rotation. The filtration process occurs from outside to inside the drum, so the filtered water comes out from inside the drum and keeps it continuously clean. The solid material which remains outside the drum is scraped by a cleaning scraper which can be helped by a motorized brush which can be provided as an optional accessory. The feeding is made by gravity or by means of a pump.

Among the phenomena of backed up outflow, we have also the passage through bar screens (the bars length is placed in the stream flowing direction). The bars may have different sections and angles of inclination (α) on the horizontal line (Picture FG1). The head loss through a bar screen is determined by means of the KIRSHMER’s formula:

where: – v : water velocity without the bar screen; – α: angle of inclination of the bar screen on the horizontal line; – d : bars thickness; – a: spacing between the bars; – β: coefficient of shape, function of the bar section, as shown in the picture.
Basically, the value:

represents a head loss which causes a “backup” of water upstream or downstream the bar screen, according to whether the stream speed is slow or fast.


Indicative values of the head losses through mechanical bar screens having different spacings and an inclination of 60°
