The HUBER RakeMax® CF features a U-shaped stationary bar rack installed between two screen frames, positioned parallel to the wastewater flow direction. As the wastewater flows into the open front side of the screen and exits through both the left and right bar racks, solids are captured on the inner surface of the U-shaped rack.
The accumulation of solids on the bar rack gradually clogs its surface, impacting the water level in the channel. To address this, cleaning of the screen bars is initiated at a defined water level upstream of the screen. The RakeMax® CF uses cleaning elements attached to a chain system to perform this function.
The discharge capacity is adjustable to meet specific requirements, as the number of screening elements on the chain system can be modified.
The RakeMax® CF screen is designed with a very low height above the floor, and even in deep channels, its installation height depends solely on the downstream screenings transport or washing system.
If the screen encounters a blockage, an electric control system ensures reliable protection by preventing damage from overload.
At the end of the bar rack cleaning cycle, the rake is thoroughly cleaned by a pivoted comb, which effectively discharges the collected screenings into a downstream transport or disposal unit. The drive unit, which is easy to access and maintain, is installed above the channel for convenient servicing.
