HARKEN.PLUS Bar Screens

HARKEN.PLUS (HRK+) mechanical screens are used for reliable removal of debris from process liquid flow by means of coarse and fine screening in large, medium and small sized treatment plants.

HRK+ is mainly consisting of:

The screen bars are cleaned frequently by multiple rakes which are connected to an endless chain that is specially developed for reliable operation under wastewater.

The rakes are positioned in such a manner that while some are moving up between the bars to clean the screenings, others are descending towards the bottom of the channel. While descending the rakes are far from the bars and after turning around the bottom guide, they go up between the bars to clean the clogged screen.

By the help of multiple rakes high screenings discharge capacity and low head loss is achieved. Since the rakes are directly connected to the revolving chain the installation height above operation level is very low even in very deep channels.

Three different types of HRK+ have been created as standard design to meet different capacity requirements in a cost efficient and reliable way:
