Travelling Water Screens
- Effective and economical
- Single-flow and dual-flow
Traveling water screens are used for the removal of suspended solids from intake water for industrial and municipal use. They provide an effective and economical means for removing twigs, leaves, seaweed, kelp, grass, needle ice, fish, and many other solids from lake, river, or seawater.
We offer both single-flow (thru-flow) and dual-flow type screens. With thru-flow type screens, the raw water flows through the ascending and descending runs of the screens from front to back. The refuse is carried up on the ascending tray and discharged into a draw for disposal.
Dual-flow type screens are capable of handling higher capacities than single-flow screens. Their design allows water to flow through the ascending and descending runs plus the curved bottom of the screens simultaneously. The clean water portion of the well is positioned between the two runs of the screen. Refuse disposal is the same as with thru-flow type screens.
Materials used in fabricating traveling water screens include T-304 and T-316 stain-less steel, PVC, Monel, copper, bronze and galvanized steel.
