Product Overview
Designed for tough, high‑flow water intake scenarios, the SL‑Type Water Intake Screen provides durable, rake‑based screening to manage coarse and bulky debris. As a key protective component for critical water infrastructure, it reliably prevents logs, plants, plastic refuse, and large solids from entering the system, minimizing downtime and extending the service life of pumps, turbines, and downstream processes.
Working Principle
*Interception: Water navigates through the fixed bar grid, with oversized contaminants effectively trapped on the upstream surface.
*Lifting: An endless chain drive equipped with cleaning rakes moves upward, removing debris from the screen surface in a continuous operation.
*Discharge: At the peak of the rake path, captured materials are discharged and gravity-fed into a hopper or conveyor system for proper disposal.
*Sealed Design: A rear barrier screen at the base prevents debris bypass and short-circuit flow, ensuring full capture and consistent screening performance.

*Exceptional Debris Handling: Specifically engineered to capture and remove large, bulky objects such as whole bamboo trunks, tree branches, and industrial waste that would clog or damage ordinary screens.
*Uninterrupted Operation: Capable of continuous, 24/7 operation during periods of heavy debris influx, guaranteeing constant protection for your vital assets without interruption.
Applications
*Large-scale pumping stations for stormwater drainage and flood control
*Untreated water intake systems for rivers, lakes and reservoir sources
*Intake forebays of hydropower plants and key hydraulic infrastructure
*Industrial water facilities that require removal of large floating solids
