Description and operation
The Definitive Ecology screw screen for in-channel or in-tank installation is a machine composed of a perforated plate screen and/or self-cleaning wedge wire with spacing from 0.25 mm to 10 mm, and a screw conveyor to lift the solids separated from the wastewater and transport them to the compacting basket. The machine can be combined with a compactor module to dewater the solids, reducing the volume by up to 40%, depending on the type of solid contents.
Optional washing stages can be combined in the screening and conveying zones to reduce the contents of organic matter in the screenings.
In screen models with compaction, washing of the screened material is supplied as standard and the resulting effluent is discharged downstream of the screen.
The operating principle envisages that, on the passage of wastewater through the screen, solids of dimensions greater than the required aperture / spacing are intercepted, thus binding the screen and causing a rise in the liquid level in the channel or tank, depending on the type of plant chosen.
Once a pre-determined level is reached upstream from the screen, the screenings screw conveyor is started.
Brushes, installed on the outer edges of the spiral, make it possible to clean the screen and hence restore the passage of wastewater through the screen, consequently lowering the water level in the channel or tank until reaching the minimum level probe which will stop the screw.
