Automated Trash Screens remove weed and debris from waterways, often protecting downstream systems and minimising OH&S risks.
AWMA Trash Screen design options are available for bulk and finer filtration requirements.
AWMA’s automated trash screens have been engineered to provide an economical, robust and reliable self-cleaning system that can be easily maintained out of the waterway without the need to dewater or bypass the structure.

AWMA’s Automated Trash Screens utilise either raked or brushed elevator's (or flights) attached to a rotating chain system. This is driven by a motor and gearbox coupled to a drive shaft. The result is a reliable, autonomous, self-cleaning system. These debris removal processes can remove bulky objects and/or fine debris from the front of the screen to avoid blockages. Debris is transported upwards, out of the waterway into removable disposal bins, conveying chutes or troughs. Optional water sprays are available.
Automated cleaning of trash screens eliminates risk to operators in performing manual raking processes.
Specialising in high quality, high performance water control infrastructure for all industries, AWMA can supply you with exceptional aluminium and stainless steel flow control products and exclusion screens suited to your specific application.
