THE BEST SCREEN FOR FAT, OILS AND GREASES

The state-of-the-art design of the Lyco External-Flow Screen uses Lyco’s advanced technology and precision manufacturing to help our customers improve their operations for further processing plants, or beef and pork harvest plants with a lot of fat or greases.

The externally fed screen fits this application better than internally fed or stationary screens. Each design is built with exacting precision and heavy-duty construction for long life and low maintenance.

THREE REASONS TO CHOOSE LYCO EXTERNAL-FLOW WASTEWATER SCREENS

Doctor Blade – This helps remove solids from the screen while turning for effective cleaning and to reduce binding.

Wedgewire Screen Construction – Wedgewire is more efficient and less apt to plug than a perforated plate. Openings can vary between .030” to .060”.

Headbox with Overflow – In addition to overflow protection, Lyco screens also come with clean-out ports for easier cleaning and inspection.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Raw influent enters the headbox, which distributes water and solids across the screen.
2. As the drum rotates, it pulls solids to the outside of the screen where a blade removes the solids.
3. The water is screened as it passes through, and cascades down the inside of the drum, creating backwash.
4. The backwash, inner spray header, and internal flights work in tandem to self-clean the drum.
