Franklin Miller Spiralift screenings handling unit

The Franklin Miller Spiralift SC from Torqueflow-Sydex takes raw screenings from the screen, and grinds, washes, de-waters and deposits them - optimally conditioned for disposal

The Spiralift SC Screening Conditioner brings the benefits of in-channel Spiralifts to screenings handling applications.

This unit can be installed in tight plant locations.

It can be installed along with new or existing waste water screens.

A further advantage is that odours are substantially reduced, since only non-organic materials are disposed of.

As the screenings drop into the SC hopper, they are washed by the upper spray nozzles, and then ground by the Taskmaster shredder.

Next the Spiralift washpress intensively washes organics, and flushes them back into the system, where they can continue on to the treatment plant for processing.

The screenings are then de-watered in the press zone of the unit.

The cleaned screenings then pass through a discharge pipe, and can be deposited into a skip, bag, hopper or conveyor, washed, ground and reduced in weight.

By grinding the screenings to a smaller size, more surfaces are presented to the spray nozzles, therefore providing a greatly enhanced and effective cleaning and de-odorising process.

The SC grinder is powered by up to an 11kW geared motor for maximum torque and grinding ability.

The auger is powered by a shaft-mounted 1.5kW geared motor.

The Spiralift SC series can handle screenings of up to 5 cubic metres an hour, and consists of hopper, shredder, tank enclosure, solenoid valves, spray wash manifolds and controller.

The PLC based control system monitors and integrates the entire system.

David Lee, Managing Director of Torqueflow-Sydex commented: 'the introduction of the Spiralift Screenings systems into the UK will give the water industry access to an excellent solution to the increasing problem of disposing of non-organic material from screens'.
