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