Product introduction of Automatic Coarse Bar Screen
The automatic coarse bar screen, also known as a mechanical bar screen or coarse screening system, is a front-stage solid-liquid separation device used in wastewater pretreatment.
It is designed for large and medium-scale water supply and drainage projects, ensuring continuous interception and removal of coarse debris before further treatment processes.
The equipment improves overall system efficiency by protecting pumps and downstream treatment units from blockage and overload.


Working principle
The automatic coarse bar screen operates through a motor-driven chain and rake system.
Wastewater flows through a fixed grid where large floating solids are intercepted. The toothed rake system moves along the screen surface, lifting and removing trapped debris continuously.
The rotational system drives the rake upward, transporting collected solids to the discharge outlet, where they are transferred to a conveyor or waste container.
This continuous mechanical cleaning process ensures stable operation and prevents clogging in high-load wastewater environments.
