The Hydro-Flo™ Screen
Drive and Discharge
Patented electric and hydraulic drives efficiently power the Hydro-Flo™ screen.
All stainless steel "grid drive sprockets" support and pull the black UHMWPE
"dogbones." This stainless steel and
high density plastic contact results in very little friction and long wear. Most importantly,
no part of the drive touches the grid. Therefore, a bent grid element will not be compounded
into a disabled screen.
The view to the left is from the inside of the screen's head section looking down on the
discharge mechanism.
Screenings are lifted out of channel on a series of hooks.

As these hooks
round the top of the screen, spray headers wash screenings from grid. These screenings and wash
water are channeled into a collection hopper. Screenings are then transfered to a Washing Compactor,
Screw Conveyor or chute.
All of our discharge mechanisms eliminate the use of a rotating brush and related maintenance problems.
