High performance screening, filtration and disposal for municipal waste water treatment plants

The Or-Tec Blue Whale Micro Bar Screen is a superfine mechanical bar screen with openings as small as 1mm (0.03"). The Micro Bar Screen removes the vast majority of hairs, rags and stringy material which pass through screens with larger openings at other municipal facilities. These smaller openings help to prevent matting or ragging forming on items such as pumps, mechanical seals, diffusers and rotating equipment. Municipal waste water treatment plant maintenance on these items is reduced to practically zero as ragging and matting no longer builds up.

The Micro Bar Screen is designed for use in municipal and industrial waste water treatment applications. Due to its unique design the unit is excellent for screening waste water with high fats, oils and grease levels (FOG). Click to read more about how it applies to food and industrial uses.

Eliminate clogging, and prevent matting and ragging at your municipal waste water treatment facility

Unlike normal bar screens which use flat bar making the openings between the bars prone to clogging the Micro Bar Screen uses a parallel array of tapered sectioned bars to form the screen face. Tapered sectioned screen bars have only 2 contact points on which material can block, as the path from the screen face to the back of the screen is gradually enlarged. Solids which passed through the two contact points cannot become clogged between the tapered shaped bars. The cleaning rake with slotted teeth penetrates well past the opening on the tapered bars cleaning the screen array and thereby completely preventing clogging or blinding of the screen.

With 1 US and 6 worldwide patents, 1000 installed screens and no maintenance for 10 years the unique, non-clogging Micro Bar Screen is something you should consider for your plant.
