A rotating drum screen designed for septage handling
The RotaShield is a rotating drum screen (photo) offering high performance in extreme applications, such as sludge acceptance, because it protects the treatment facility from high-strength waste, rags, bottles, rocks, grease and grit. The screens’ unique design eliminates common issues associated with septage receiving and traditional auger-type screens, because it has no internal auger, trough, tank or seals. The RotaShield offers unloading up to 1,400 gal/min and can offer the convenience of unloading multiple trucks at the same time. RotaShield drums feature a compact, space-saving design with low energy demand. A completely encased unit, the stainless-steel design makes the RotaShield able to be sustained far beyond the traditional lifecycle of products in such corrosive environments, says the manufacturer. — Huber Technology, Inc., Denver, N.C.
