BETTER PERFORMANCE THROUGH SMARTER CLEANING Hydropower plants face the constant risk of debris gathering at the inlets and affecting turbine performance. Kuenz solves this challenge with a range of innovative Trash Rack Cleaning Machines. Operating in either full- or semi-automatic mode, our systems remove debris of all shapes and sizes, garbage and sediment from the inlet, delivering greater efficiency and smoother plant operation. HYDRAULIC TRASH RACK CLEANING Thanks to their flexibility and robust design, our hydraulic systems are perfectly suited to remove bulky debris from vertical and inclined trash racks. They can lift up to six tonnes and clean to a depth of max. 33 meters. Manual or fully automatic operation. Automated surface debris removal. Constant pressure on trash racks ensures best cleaning results. Customized solutions available. ROPE TYPE TRASH RACK CLEANING For dams built in narrow spaces, our rope systems deliver unrivaled precision and reliability. They can lift up to 8.5 tonnes and clean to a depth max. 100 meters. The rope-based technology requires little maintenance, meaning the machine is available when it’s needed most. Thanks to an integrated loading crane, our rope systems can efficiently clear garbage carpets from the surface of the water. HORIZONTAL SYSTEMS Hydropower plants face increasing pressure to lower their environmental impact. Horizontal trash rack and cleaning systems by Kuenz are designed to facilitate compliance with fish protection requirements. They can lift up to 3 tonnes and clean to a depth of max. 8 meters.
