New Mechanical Bar Screen Enables Efficient Cleaning

Franklin Miller (USA) has introduced the SCREENMASTER CS mechanical bar screen. This unit provides efficient cleaning of a bar screen rack and removal of solids from channel installations. The unit makes solids removal simple with its highly efficient  operation. It employs a front clean/ front return principle, is easy to install in new or existing channels and at a 75-degree inclination, has a very small footprint.

The design features a simple, continuous rotary motion. As the rake head passes through the bar slots collecting debris, it travels up the unit’s dead plate until it reaches a special scraper supplied with a dash pot for smooth operation. The screenings then drop out of a discharge chute. where they can be processed by a SPIRALIFT SC Screenings conditioner/wash or deposited into a bin or conveyor.

The SCREENMASTER is fully constructed of stainless steel for resistance to corrosion and long life. It is supplied complete with an S320 Program Controller which activates on a timed basis or when a high level is indicated by a supplied level sensor. The unit is driven by a ¾ HP-1HP motor and gear drive and is custom built for channel width and lift height.
