Product Overview
Our In-Channel Fine Screen, also known as an Internally Fed Drum Screen, is the advanced, compact choice for efficient fine screening in municipal and industrial wastewater treatment. Engineered for installations with space constraints or deep channels, it excels at removing fine solids, fibers, and suspended materials, providing superior protection for sensitive downstream processes like MBR systems, UV disinfection, or membrane filters.
Working Principle
Water enters the screen laterally through the inlet channel and flows into the rotating drum screen basket from the inside. The wastewater passes through the fine screen panels (typically 0.5-6 mm apertures), while retained solids are carried upward by the internal flow and the rotation of the drum. A series of cleaning nozzles (using filtered effluent or clean water) spray the captured solids into a central collection trough, which discharges them via a screw conveyor or similar mechanism. The clean filtrate exits through the open end of the drum.

Key Design & Performance Features
*Compact, Space-Saving Design: The entire unit is installed directly within the channel, requiring minimal civil works and no additional footprint outside the channel. This makes it ideal for plant upgrades or locations with severe space limitations.
*Superior Fine Screening Efficiency: With screen apertures as fine as 0.5 mm, it achieves high removal rates of fine solids, hairs, fibers, and other small debris that traditional bar screens miss, significantly improving downstream process performance.
*Gentle Yet Effective Cleaning: The internally fed design and pressurized spray wash ensure thorough cleaning of the screen panels without aggressive brushing, reducing wear and tear and preventing blinding for consistent flow.
*Low Hydraulic Head Loss: The optimized flow path and large screening surface area result in very low head loss through the unit, saving energy on upstream pumping.
*Robust & Corrosion-Resistant Construction: Key components like the drum screen panels, main shaft, and collection trough are manufactured from high-grade stainless steel (e.g., SS304, SS316) for maximum durability in corrosive wastewater environments.
*Fully Automated & Intelligent Operation: Features a programmable logic controller (PLC) for fully automatic operation. It can integrate with plant-wide control systems and includes alarms for high differential pressure, ensuring reliable, hands-off performance.
Applications
*Fine Screening in WWTPs: Primary treatment stage ahead of MBR (Membrane Bioreactors), UV disinfection systems, or tertiary filtration.
*Industrial Pretreatment: Food processing, pulp & paper, textile industries for fiber and particulate recovery.
*CSO/Stormwater Treatment: Removing fine pollutants from combined sewer overflows.
*Water Reuse Plants: Critical pretreatment stage for high-quality effluent.
