Automatic cable rake screen
This is a longitudinal cable rake screen. It is ideal for great heights of water or deep shafts, without restrictions on discharge height or channel width.
Cleaning is carried out frontally using a rake that travels along a fixed guide on the frame. It is driven by cables.
Materials
The screen bars, made from carbon steel, are blasted with metal particles, to a Swedish Standards Organisation grade of SA 2 1/2, and then covered with corrosion-resistant paint. Alternatively, they can be made from galvanised stainless steel.
