Traveling Water Screen

A Traveling water screen from Fairfield is a cost efficient and customizable water debris removal system. There is no enhanced way to remove water debris than a traveling water screen.

Fairfield’s Traveling water screen is used to remove debris from the river or lake water, unlike bar racks and many other intake protection systems, which require costly monitoring and maintenance to keep free from blockages.

Screens are installed vertically in a concrete channel where debris clings to the upstream side of the ascending screen panels and is removed by water spray before the return run of screen panels descends on the down side of the screen.

Traveling water screen consists of

» Panels usually have square clear opening and fabricated of galvanized steel wire attached to steel angle frames by means of steel clamp bars and galvanized steel bars. Screen panels can also be fabricated of stainless steel wire.

» Adjustable stealing strips will be used at basket ends on the vertical flights. No other clearance space in the boot or elsewhere which will constitute a water passage, whether between moving parts or between moving and stationary parts.

» Water spray assembly with multiple nozzles is furnished to spray the full width of the screen panels and wash debris from the screen into a discharge trough. An electric solenoid- operated valve is furnished to actuate the water spray system when the screen machinery is operating.

Technical Data and Applications

Technical Data

• Standard channel width from 3' to 4'.
• The velocity of the water flow to the screen can be approximately 1 to 2 FPS.
• Approx screen chain speed 10 FPM.

Applications

• Sewage treatment.
• Pumping stations.
• Sea & ocean water intake filtration.
• Fossil fuel generation facilities.
• Thermal power plants.

Stream Guard

Fairfield’s STREAM GUARD is heavy duty, fully automatic self-cleaning filter screen. The screen is capable of presenting a clean filtration surface to the oncoming liquid stream at all times during continuous operation. In addition, the screen is capable of intermittent operation in order to form a mat for maximum trash removal. The filter screen is suitable for installation and operation in the proposed flow channel having an angle of inclination of 60° to 80° from horizontal.

The screen provides dual filtration means it will stop the debris in two stage, first it will stop big debris at the teeth level and secondly it will stop small debris at shaft level in order to minimize compaction of the captured debris and increasing head loss through the units. The screen has clear spacing from 1 to 15 mm.

Technical Data and Benefits

Technical Data

• Channel Width (Max): 120".
• Channel Depth (Max): 300".
• Filtering Gap: 1,3,5,10,15mm etc.
• Inclination referred to vertical : 60, 70, 80.
• The teeth are made of plastic material (Nylon).
• Stainless steel SS304 or SS316L is available as option.
• Material of frame can be Stainless Steel or Galvanized.
• Steel & Carbon Steel if required.

Benefits

• A Submerged curved 1/2" thick stainless steel rail is provided at the foot of the screen.
• High capacity.
• No submerged bearing and rollers. Ease of maintenance.
• High separation efficiency due to the narrow spacing between teeth and the produced screening.
• Self cleaning mechanism.
• The hook like shape of the teeth effectively prevents the screened material from dropping.
