Hydro-Flo Theory of Operation
Fine screening with low headlosses is easily achieved with the Hydro-Flo's patented design. Flow passes into the screen and is diverted through the grid on each side of the unit. The Center-Flow design directs water into the screen and exits out the sides while the Dual-Flow design directs water from outside the equipment through the sides for a rear exit. All stainless steel grid media separates solids from the stream and lifts screenings out of the channel. As solids are collected on the screen's grid a mat is formed increasing capture rates and improving the equipment's ability to unload. At the top of the unit a spray wash unloads the solids into a Launder Chute, Conveyor or Compactor. Any drained wash water is discharged upstream of the screen eliminating bypass, while solids are transported for disposal.
Replaceable stainless steel foot section and wear tracks prevent solids bypass, while screen design eliminates downstream problems caused by carry-over. Unlike traditional screens, all solids with diameters larger than screen opening sizes cannot pass under, through, or over screen.
