PERFORATED PLATE FILTER SCREEN

The Kusters Water ProTechtor® Perforated Plate Filter Screen is known for its reliable operation and robust design. Capture efficiencies of the filter screen are much higher than conventional bar style screens. All ProTechtor® products are US Manufactured at Kusters Water’s ISO 9001:2015 certified facility.

OVERVIEW

The Perforated Plate Filter Screen eliminates operational disruptions caused by fibrous and other inorganic material. Depending on the perforated panel, the screen capture efficency is greater compared to a bar screen. The quality of the screened effluent is noticeably improved, which in turn improves performance of downstream processes.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

Wastewater flows through perforated filter elements while contaminants are captured on the face of the element. Larger objects, such as sticks, rocks, bottles, etc, are picked up from the bottom of the channel by the lifting tines at the bottom of every fifth element. The filter panels form a continuous belt which transports the screenings to the discharge point where they are cleaned from the panels by a rotating brush and high-pressure spray wash system. The screenings are then discharged into a dumpster, conveyor, or screenings washer compactor.
