ROTOSIEVE DRUM SCREEN

VoR Roto-Sieve Drum Screens separate solid particles and fibres from liquids. The drum screens are based on proven technology with a self-cleaning function that delivers very good results and minimizes maintenance.

With high operational reliability, a long service life and low energy consumption, VoR Roto-Sieve Drum Screens are a proven good investment.

Due to its internal feed and circular perforations, Roto-Sieve offers the best separation that can be achieved mechanically. It has been shown in practice that a fibre or hair has a very small chance of orienting itself at a right angle and against the water current, so that it can pass through a round hole.

Function

VoR Roto-Sieve Drum Screens consist of a perforated drum (1) with internally fixed screw (2), which transports the separated particles out of the drum. The drum rotates on trunnion wheels (3) and is driven by a cog gear motor (4).
Incoming liquid is fed into the drum through an inlet pipe (5), which distributes the water over a large area of the drum’s interior. During passage through the drum, the liquid is screened through the drum’s perforations and collects in the trough (6) underneath. Separated particles are transported out of the drum through the screenings outlet (7). Dewatering continues throughout transport in the drum. To prevent clogging of the unit’s perforations, all drum screens are fitted with a rotating brush (8) and a spray header with spray nozzles (9). Roto-Sieve drum screens are completely encased in removable splash guards (10) and equipped with a ventilation exhaust (11) to improve the working environment.
