Description and operation
Definitive Ecology’s FSHm screen features a lifting, washing, and dewatering screw for efficient separation of organic matter and screenings volume reduction. The frame is secured and sealed between the walls of the channel or tank to avoid leakage, with consequent efficiency losses. The machine drum is installed in the channel or in the tank at a 35° angle with respect to the influent wastewater. The drum can be supplied exclusively in perforated plate with 1 or 2 mm aperture. The drum is equipped with a washing system composed of medium pressure spray nozzles. A brush, installed on the outside of the rotary drum, provides optimal cleaning action. The screen and screw are arranged in line and driven by the same gearmotor. This screw with shaft avoids possible clogging when handling long and/or fibrous products. The collected screenings are lifted, dewatered and compacted before discharge. The screening zone features a washing system for the solid contents, while an additional system is installed in the compaction zone to wash the compacting basket during the process, thus efficiently separating organic matter and reducing the screenings volume. The washing water flows through the screen and is discharged with the washed soluble components in the wastewater. The screw is composed of three sections:
- First section to drain the water and wash the screenings
- Second section to lift the screenings
- Third section to compact and dewater the screenings after discharge
The lifting screw can be supplied without the compaction zone on request.
The operating principle involves ingress of the wastewater flow in the drum, which, because it is closed on the bottom, forces the water to change direction and flow through the perforated surface of the drum while solids of larger size than the drum apertures are captured inside the drum. This results in a rise in the water level upstream from the screen; when the level reaches a pre-determined value, the drum starts to rotate to convey the solids out of the wastewater. During drum rotation, a nozzles system cleans the screen with pressurised nozzles. The screenings and water are collected in a trough, which discharges them into a shaftless screw conveyor.
Models available
