Flo-Screen specific feature & benefits:

  • Single screen widths up to 72"
  • Accommodates flow rates from <1 MGD - >100 MGD
  • Discharge heights up to 12' from the bottom of the channel
  • Standard 304ss constuction, others upon request
  • Bar spacing available from 1/4" - 2"

With their simple yet innovative designs, the Flo-Screen and Flo-Screen XD bar screens combine high solids capture and screening efficiency with low maintenance.

Unlike conventional rack and pinion design bar screens which have numerous moving parts, the Flo-Screen features a unique hydraulically driven ball bearing screw which requires no maintenance. The Flo-Screen further minimizes maintenance costs with its robust saw-tooth rake design which eliminates tooth breakage. Installation of the Flo-Screen is also a simple procedure, eliminating costly channel modifications.

With its patented angled bar design, the Flo-Screen retains solids more efficiently than conventional bar screens by increasing the screen's surface area. Innovative saw-tooth rake removes more solids and grease build up by increasing the rake-to-screen contact area, and the rake is parked at the bottom between cleaning cycles. Any components that may require service are located above the water level for optimum access and convenience.

 
 

Flo-Screen for discharge up to 12'

 

Why Flo-Screen out performs conventional bar screens:

  • Above water level service provides optimum operator convenience
  • Unique angled bars effectively retain solids, reduce turbulence and minimize head loss
  • Greater screen surface area improves solids capture while maintaining opening
  • Saw-tooth rake design increases rake-to-screen contact, minimizing grease buildup and increasing solids retention and removal
  • Hydraulically driven rake is the only moving part below water level
  • Ball bearing screw drive requires no maintenance
  • Frame mounted hydraulic motor eliminates moving hoses and cables
  • Fewer components reduce initial equipment costs, decrease spare parts inventory and minimize service requirements
  • Top mount design provides simple drop-in installation eliminating costly channel modifications
  • Intrinsically safe by design
  • Made in the USA
