Single Cylinder Screens and T-Screens provide screening solutions for pumped intakes and gravity offtakes.
AWMA's Cylinder Screens offer an ultimate self-cleaning water screening solution, with the benefit of internal and external brush systems.
The strong, well proven wedge wire screen medium protects fish and aquatic life, whilst delivering high quality water.
How it works
- Water flows through the wedge wire screen surface (allowing for fish protected filtration),
- The internal drive unit slowly rotates the external wedge wire cylinder,
- Fixed internal and external brush systems clean the screening surface, allowing for efficient operation with unrestricted flow, year round,
- The screen drive unit includes electric and hydraulic options which may be mains or solar powered,
- The cylinder screens are programmed by the asset owner to operate as often as required in accordance with predicted debris loads,
- The Single Cylinder Screen allows flows up to 150ML/day,
- The AWMA T-Screen is suitable for flows up to 300 ML/day,
- Configurations for multiple screens, with a large flow capacity are available on request.
