Description and operation

The Definitive Ecology screw screen for small communities is a small machine, typically used for pit installation with wastewater inlet by means of an open or closed screen basket solution. The closed screen basket model can be connected to the inlet pipeline by means of flanges. The closed screen basket solution also features a bypass so it can handle sudden changes in flow rate. The machine is composed of a perforated plate screen with apertures from 2 mm to 7 mm and a screw conveyor to lift the solids separated from the wastewater.

Operating principle: with 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 pit.
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 pit until reaching the minimum level probe which will stop the screw.
