Application
Rotary drum screens are used in the process of preliminary mechanical treatment of raw wastewater in both municipal and industrial facilities. Their main function is the effective separation of solid contaminants before the wastewater stream is directed to subsequent treatment stages.
Thanks to their compact design, low energy requirements, and minimised wash water consumption, these devices are particularly well suited for small- and medium-capacity wastewater treatment plants.
Areas of application for ESMIL Rotary Drum Screens:
- wastewater treatment in the food industry,
- wastewater treatment in the processing industry,
- preliminary treatment of municipal wastewater.
Area of application of Rotary Drum Screens:
- Wastewater treatment for the food and processing industry.
- Treatment of wastewater with a high content of solids including fiber, wool, feathers, and films.
- Industrial and domestic wastewater treatment plants.
Esmil Rotary Drum Screen is an ideal solution for fine wastewater treatment.
Effective fine treatment, reliability and high throughput make Rotary Drum Screens a leader in their class.
The perforated sieve or woven mesh used to manufacture the filter cloth allows efficient removal of impurities from drains. The screens are characterized by low consumption of flushing water and electricity due to the use of energy-efficient components and a well-thought-out control system.
Technological advantages of ESMIL Rotary Drum Screens
- Drum filtering surface made of perforated steel or woven mesh enables effective capture of fibrous and organic contaminants such as feathers, down, wool and hair.
- Woven mesh with 0.5–1 mm openings allows efficient removal of fine contaminants, which is particularly important for further treatment using MBR technology.
- Compact design – functional units are conveniently integrated into the body, ensuring organised installation, easy service access and high system tightness.
- External mechanical brush effectively removes contaminants from the filtering surface.
- Internal flushing system with wash water nozzles ensures thorough cleaning of the filtering surface, ensuring stable operation even in the presence of fats and petroleum compounds.
- Integrated overflow system protects the device against overfilling in case of hydraulic overload.
- Electrical protection against overloads and voltage surges guarantees stable and safe operation under various operating conditions.
- Low energy and wash water consumption reduces operating costs.
- Simple construction allows quick and convenient access to all key components.
- Fully automated operating mode eliminates the need for constant supervision and allows easy integration with other plant components.
- Enclosed housing reduces the emission of unpleasant odors into the environment, improving working conditions in the operating area.
