Vertical Bar screen

Reliable solution for fine wastewater pre-treatment Pre-treatment

Vertical Bar screens are among the key pieces of equipment for pump protection in pumping stations. They are also used as a mechanical pre-treatment stage in various municipal and industrial applications.

Slot width

standard 3 or 6 mm, or fully customized

Width of the screening basket

standard 300 and 600 mm

Design

stainless steel AISI 304 / 316 or higher

Control

level probe + PLC, SCADA connection, timer

Installation

concrete pit / shaft

Vertical Bar screens for municipal and industrial applications

The screens can be installed wherever, due to layout constraints, there is not enough space for installation of conventional screen types or where the sewer is laid at great depth – in such cases the screens ensure protection of pumps in the pumping station.

Vertical Bar screens are the ideal automated replacement for outdated basket screens.

 

 

Aplikace

Suitable use

  • pump protection in pumping stations
  • automated replacement for basket screens
  • municipal WWTPs
  • industrial applications

Vertical Bar screens can generally be used for more heavily polluted wastewater than standard screw screen types. They are also suitable for water containing fibrous material and non-woven textiles.

Benefits of IN-EKO TEAM solutions

  • suitable for pump protection in pumping stations
  • installation suitable even in small and narrow spaces or where the sewer is at great depth
  • highly effective for removing coarse impurities, especially non-woven textiles and fibrous materials
  • capture and transport of screenings
  • short installation length of the equipment
  • considerable variability of connection methods and conveyor screw length
  • full operation automation
  • screenings are captured on the bars of the screen and only then transported to the screw
  • conveyor – the filter basket does not clog

Screenings

In the vertical screw, screenings are partially dewatered thanks to gravity and the logic of screw conveyor operation.

Automatic screen operation

Automatic screen operation is ensured by a level probe, which gives an impulse for cleaning the bar basket in combination with time switching.

Optional modifications

  • Integrated press – screenings dewatering
  • Insulation and heating

Smarter operation through innovation

In cooperation with partners, we develop solutions that reduce environmental impact – from energy-efficient components to digitalized operation and remote equipment monitoring.

Sustainability as a foundation

From design to operation, our technologies are created to save resources, energy, and space. This is not a trend – sustainability is a natural part of every piece of equipment we develop.

Our goal is to ensure clean water for future generations.

How do Vertical Bar screens work?

Wastewater flows onto the bar screen, where incoming screenings are captured. These cause the water level to rise. After the start-up level is reached, the probe sends a signal to start the cleaning process. The screenings are swept from the patented bar basket into the vertical screw conveyor. It transports them to the discharge area, from where they fall into a screenings collection vessel, bin, container, etc. During their transport by the vertical screw conveyor, the screenings are partially dewatered thanks to gravity and the logic of screen operation.
