2 bar screens installed 4 years apart

Feb 21, 2022

We recently installed an XG12 automatic vertical bar screen at a wastewater treatment plant, replacing a competitor's "staircase" bar screen. The same operation was carried out in 2017 on the parallel canal.

In addition to a great deal of handling inside the building to put the various parts of the second bar screen in place, our technicians took advantage of this move to - at the customer's request - reduce the air gap of the first bar screen from 15 to 6mm. To do this, they had to lay down the upper frame, replace the lower frame and finally the toothed plate.

It took two technicians two days to complete the job.
