Description and operation

Definitive Ecology INFLOSCREEN model FSm is composed of a drum that is semi-submerged in the channel and installed horizontally in line with the influent wastewater. The frame is secured and sealed between the walls of the channel to avoid leakage with consequent efficiency losses. The drum can be supplied exclusively with perforated plate with aperture of 1 or 2 mm. 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 drum turns on hard-wearing urethane wheels with ball bearings in AISI 304 stainless steel. Bearings lubrication is provided by grease nipples. There are no mechanical parts in the drum, while all parts subject to maintenance are located above the waterline. A chute collects the screenings, while a flow of water discharges them into a lifting and dewatering screw. This shaftless screw avoids possible clogging when handling long and/or fibrous products. 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 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 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. Lifting paddles located inside the drum extract the solids from the wastewater as the drum rotates, while a system of nozzles provides washing action with pressurised nozzles. The screenings and water are collected in a trough, which discharges them into a shaftless screw conveyor or into a hopper for transfer by an electric pump.

Models available

  • FSm = INFLOSCREEN for in-channel installation, with shaftless screw that is not axially aligned with the drum
  • FSp = INFLOSCREEN for in-channel installation, with electric pump for screenings transfer
