	MODEL VKR KNUCKLE-RAKE BAR SCREEN The VKR Knuckle-Rake Bar Screen is a budget and maintenance friendly screen intended for many years of care-free service. The VKR Screen is an automatic, self-cleaning mechanical bar screen customized for existing and new construction with bar openings 1/4-inch and larger.So what’s different? The Model VKR Knuckle-Rake Bar Screen uses a unique knuckle chain link that only bends in one direction. This allows engagement of the rake teeth into the bar rack by the knuckle link design forming its own lower turn-around without a sprocket or guide rail system in the flow. The knuckle link design allows the rake heads to disengage from the bar rack should a large object be encountered or an object is lodged in the bar rack. However, to ensure an adequate force still exists to dislodge material in the bar rack, Vulcan placed a high level of importance on the link design. For this reason, Vulcan casts the links to weigh 6 pounds; an improvement of 33 percent over the competition. This is extremely important for a screen that relies on the weight of the links and rake heads to maintain rake head engagement into the bar rack. We want the rake heads to disengage to remove large material, but we also want to ensure tooth penetration doesn't suffer when blinding occurs. Each rake head is provided with rake teeth so that every rake head engagement cleans the three sides of the bar rack bars exposed to the screenings. No flat head “staging” scraper used (or needed). Rake head shapes control where the screenings end up. VKR rake heads are formed with a scoop shovel shape to contain the screenings collected from the bar rack. That way, screenings are kept on the rake head until the rake wiper removes them automatically. This reduces the amount of screenings falling back into the flow or onto the operating floor.
	MODEL ESR STAIR SCREEN The Model ESR Stair Screen is an automatic, self cleaning, fine screen for primary, secondary or sludge screening in municipal and industrial sewage treatment installations. The screens are also ideal for industrial applications such as slaughterhouses, tanneries, breweries, and paper plants. The design of the Model ESR Stair Screen allows for easy installation in new and existing facilities without channel modification. With a maximum setting angle of 57º, the Model ESR Stair Screen has a compact overall footprint. The side frames of the Model ESR Stair Screen are constructed of formed stainless steel plate having a thickness of 0.24” (6 mm). The screening elements (aka lamellas) in the screening area are stainless steel. The lamellas in the transport area can be stainless steel or a corrosion resistant, UV stabilized synthetic material, depending on the overall height of the screen. The drive system consists of a gear reducer, motor, and a dual chain transmission system with automatic chain tensioning devices. To prevent corrosion, ease maintenance and ensure years of reliable service, the drive system is located completely above the maximum water level, and the gear reducer and motor are encapsulated away from the corrosive atmosphere of the channel. All moving parts of the drive system are protected by removable enclosure panels. The screen enclosure above the channel are equipped with removable panels to provide safe operation and reduce odor.
	LIQUI-FUGE LFP PERFORATED ROTARY DRUM SCREEN The Liqui-Fuge LFP, Perforated Drum Screen is an automatic, self-cleaning fine screen for a variety of applications from primary to membrane screening in municipal and industrial sewage treatment applications. This latest rotary drum screen from Vulcan Industries is specifically designed for protecting secondary and tertiary wastewater treatment systems. While other treatment technologies including MBR, IFAS and MBBR systems are fouled by hair, fibers and small particles, the fine opening perforated media of the LFP can effectively remove those materials in normal operation.

The press body is constructed of stainless steel. A wedge wire drain constructed of individual profile bars is mounted on the bottom of the press and extends from the inlet hopper through the washing section. The wedge wire, with 2 mm spacings, guarantees clog-free drainage of the washwater, while ensuring screenings capture. The spiral, of alloy steel construction, is welded to the hollow shaft. The hollow shaft contains perforations located in the washing zone to introduce washwater to the screenings from the inside out. A nylon brush is attached to the trailing edge of the spiral to ensure debris is thoroughly removed from the drainage area. The drain pan is constructed of stainless steel, and is located directly under the press body. A flushing nozzle periodically rinses the drain pan. Sealed with a gasket, and secured with a latching system, the drain pan is easily removed for service.
	MODEL ESP SCREW PRESS The Model ESP Screw Press consists of an axial thrust bearing with a stainless steel body; inlet hopper; wedge-wire drain; substantial, precision machined shafted spiral; press housing with compression zone; flushing nozzle; press water drain pan and drive assembly. The shafted spiral is cantilevered off the thrust bearing, and does not rest in the housing. This eliminates metal-tometal contact during operation. The profiled bars used in the construction of the wedgewire drain allows for greater flow than perforated drains and helps to prevent blinding. A nylon brush is affixed to the outside edge of the spiral to aide clearing the drain even when greasy material is present.
	MODEL TF SHAFTLESS SCREW CONVEYOR The Model TF Shaftless Screw Conveyor is utilized for the transport of screenings, grit or sludge in municipal and industrial wastewater treatment applications.
