Screw Screen (Straight Type)

🔄 Principle of Operation

Wastewater enters the screening zone where solids are retained on a perforated or wedge-wire screen.

A screw conveyor captures the retained solids and transports them to the compaction zone, where they are compressed and partially dewatered.

Clarified water passes through the screen and continues downstream.

⚙️ Design

The screw screen is designed as a compact unit and includes:

• screening basket (perforated or wedge-wire)
• screw conveyor
• compaction (press) zone
• housing or channel installation
• drive unit (motor with gearbox)

Enclosed designs are available to minimize odors.

📊 Technical Specifications and Applications

Main parameters:

• capacity — from tens to hundreds m³/h
• screen opening — 0.5–6 mm
• material — stainless steel
• automatic operation
• waste volume reduction up to 40–60%

Applications: • wastewater treatment plants
• industrial facilities
• food processing industry
• pumping stations

👉 Key advantage — combined screening, conveying, and dewatering in a single unit.
