Articulated screen

The articulated screen is a composite machine installed in channels or water collecting basins to remove the material piled up therein. The machine bottom consists of a fixed screen, two side shoulders that secure the structure to the reinforced concrete wall and one moving screen cleaners (cleaning comb) that has the function of removing the material deposited in the screen bars to discharge it to a special container. The main feature of this machine is to have the moving gears (chains, rims, hubs and bearings) not immersed in water. The machine is controlled by an electrical panel that allows both “automatic” and “manual” operation. In both cases, there are limit switches and load limiting devices that stop the machine in the event of an emergency. There is also a key switch (with the function of “run – run reversal”) to release the cleaning comb.
