Hubert travelling band screen

The travelling band screen operates on the conveyor‑belt principle, using fine‑mesh sieve panels with openings from 2 to 10 mm. These panels are mounted between two robust conveyor chains. As they move upward, the water is effectively screened and solids are retained.

Removed debris is automatically cleaned at the top of the system using spray water and discharged through a flushing channel. All functional components, including the drive unit, cleaning system and discharge, are located above water level at deck height and protected by a metal or composite cover. This design ensures safe and easy maintenance.

The vertical configuration makes the screen ideal for locations with limited space or large water‑level differences. The screen is resistant to abrasive particles and aggressive seawater, and can be manufactured from various high‑quality materials, including coated steel, duplex and super‑duplex. Typical configurations include recessed installation or mounting on a skid.

Hubert travelling band screens are available for different flow patterns and can operate under large tidal variations. A fish‑return system can be added to gently and effectively remove fish from the screen.
