Drum screen Rotoshear®

rotaryfor wastewater treatmentfine

With more than 1,000 installations, Rotoshear® is a proven high-capacity fine screening technology for municipal wastewater treatment plants and many industries for various applications. In wastewater treatment plants, the Rotoshear® unit is renowned as a fine screen for pretreatment and primary treatment to replace primary clarifiers. They are also used as sludge screens. Industrial users, such as meat processors, food processors, tanneries, textile mills, petrochemical plants, and recyclers, rely on it for product recovery and wastewater treatment. Pulp and paper mills use it for fiber recovery and rejects handling. The Rotoshear® unit is an internally-fed rotary wedgewire cylindrical screen that operates with minimal attendance. Influent enters through the inlet and flows into a headbox. The headbox fills and the influent cascades over the weirs and contacts two sides of the rotating cylinder screen. As the influent hits the turning screen, the solids are caught inside the cylinder and the liquid passes through the screen into the process or on for further treatment. Diverters on the cylinder move the solids along the length of the screen to discharge. The unit is equipped with spray bar(s) to clean the screen.
