Traveling water screen removes debris from intake
water sources. They ensure properly screened water before it is taken
into the industrial water system, either by gravity or through pumping
mains. Traveling water screens debris removal systems protect the pumps
from moss, sticks, trash, fish and other water-carried debris. These
traveling water screens continuously remove all debris, unlike other
screens, which need expensive monitoring and maintenance to keep free of
blockages. The screen mesh is linked to basket frames, which are
arranged in an endless link chain system. As the water starts flowing
through the baskets, debris is collected within the baskets and allow
the clean water to flow through the screens.
Traveling band screens are used where large volumes of water are
operated for treatment. It must be screened to remove floating and
suspended material that might damage downstream pumps and equipment.
These screens can be operated intermittently or continuously. They can
be provided with baskets in metallic or non-metallic construction with
varying mesh sizes.
