Drum Screw filter

Efficient solution for separation, washing, dewatering, and compaction of screenings in one unit Pre-treatment

The Drum Screw filter is intended for very fine pre-treatment or special applications.

The unit is used especially in municipal WWTPs as pre-treatment for MBR or in industry.

Filtration

durable stainless steel screen

Design

stainless steel AISI 304 / 316 or higher

Control

level probe + PLC, SCADA connection, timer

Installation

concrete channel / steel or plastic tank

Drum Screw filter for municipal and industrial applications

  • Municipal wastewater treatment plants – wherever very fine pre-treatment or removal of hair and fibers is required. Mainly upstream of MBR.

 

  • Industrial operations – applications requiring very fine pre-treatment of substances which, due to their nature, cannot be pumped and require subsequent transport by screw conveyor. The unit can be used in the petrochemical industry, food industry, animal production, zoos, and others.

How does the Drum Screw filter work?

The basic filtration element is a rotating drum with a horizontal rotation axis. Polluted water flows into the drum from the front side and passes through the screen on the drum circumference. The Drum Screw filter captures on the screen the impurities flowing with the wastewater into the treatment plant. As impurities are captured, the water level in front of the filter gradually rises. The filter monitors the water level and when a certain height is reached, the cleaning and transport process for impurities starts. During this process, the drum with the filter screen rotates and is sprayed with water, which directs the impurities into a trough inside the drum. A screw conveyor is placed in the trough and transports the impurities to the discharge chute. After the cleaning process ends, the water level in front of the filter returns to the lowest level.

Clean water is no coincidence.
It is technology.
