Hubert drum screen

The drum is designed for fine, continuous filtration of large water flows. The screen is typically installed in a concrete channel or inlet pit, directly behind a coarse front screen. Water flows radially through the rotating drum screen, where fine and coarse particles are captured on the stainless steel mesh, available with openings from 2 mm.

The drum rotates slowly on its horizontal axis, cyclically passing the contaminated filter panels beneath a set of high-pressure nozzles. These nozzles remove the accumulated debris from the mesh, after which the material is discharged via an integrated collection system, without the need for a separate pump.

The robust construction ensures high structural rigidity and minimal deformation, even at large diameters (up to 20 metres). This keeps the screen media tightly stretched and ensures consistent filtration performance.

For applications where ecological considerations are important, the screen can be equipped with a fish-friendly recovery system. This system guides fish entering with the water flow safely and in a controlled manner towards a discharge chute.
