Rotary Drum Screen
The Rotary Drum Screen by Purecreek Environmental Services is a robust and efficient solution for the mechanical separation of solids from wastewater. Designed for municipal and industrial applications, it provides continuous operation, high screening efficiency, and reduced maintenance.
Applications
- Municipal wastewater headworks and pumping stations
- Industrial wastewater treatment (food & beverage, pulp & paper, textile, petrochemical)
- Pretreatment for biological reactors, DAF systems, and membrane filtration units
- Protection of pumps, pipelines, and downstream equipment
How It Works
Wastewater flows into the drum, which is fitted with a perforated plate or wedge wire mesh. As the drum rotates, solids are retained on the surface while the liquid passes through. Collected solids are transported and discharged by internal flights, while the drum is continuously cleaned with brushes or high-pressure spray nozzles, ensuring uninterrupted operation.
Models & Options
- Screen Elements: perforated plate (0.5–6 mm openings), wedge wire
- Configurations: channel-mounted or tank-enclosed versions
- Materials: Stainless steel AISI 304 / 316 (standard), corrosion-resistant coatings available
- Custom Designs: flow rates up to 1000 m³/h with variable drum diameters and lengths
