Vertical Screens

Description and Working Principle
 
The SFC/V is a slimline combined machine for use in pump stations and pits to 10 meters deep. It consists of a:

    •    Screen - perforated plate
    •    Conveyor - to elevate the captured solids out of the effluent and de-water by gravity
    •    Compactor - to dewater and compress the screenings to give a volume reduction of up to 30%

The SFC/V is usually installed to screen influent in pumping pits for pump protection. It is connected by a flange to the inlet pipe where the influent enters the screen basket.
The screen basket separates the solids and is kept clean by brushes installed on the spiral.
The same spiral lifts the solids up to the compacting zone where they are dewatered prior to discharge.
