| Operation
When
not in operation, the rake is immobilised in the upper position.
This position is controlled by a limit switch. When started,
it descends into the water to the bottom of the screen, guided
by the chains, at a sufficient distance from the screen to
avoid sending accumulated rubbish to the bottom of the channel.
The rake rises along the screen and carries rubbish upwards.
On completion of the ascent, the rake pivots and ejects rubbish
onto the bridge or into a collection and removal channel.
At the end of the cycle, the rake parks in the stop position. |
| Automatic
control system
The
automatic control system of our mechanical screen rakes is
triggered either by an adjustable timer which determines the
frequency of operation, or by a system detecting clogging
of the screens. |
|
Safety
devices
All
our screen rakes are fitted with a safety device which cuts
off the power supply from the drive motor if the rake becomes
jammed on the screen. |
