The HUBER RakeMax® HF Multi-Rake Bar Screen is the ‘high flow’ version and further development of the successful HUBER RakeMax® Multi-Rake Bar Screen that is well-proven in thousands of installations.
The RakeMax® HF screen consists of two distinct sections: a flat bottom section that provides a large screening surface and optimal hydraulic conditions, and a steep conveying section that ensures efficient screening in a compact footprint. Material removal begins right at the bar rack, mounted flat to the channel bottom, preventing the accumulation of unwanted material.
The ideal flow conditions and large effective bar rack surface ensure a high hydraulic throughput capacity. The cleaning elements, attached to the chain system, can be easily adjusted to meet varying requirements, offering a highly flexible screenings discharge capacity. This is particularly beneficial for handling high solids loads. Depending on the bar spacing, the bar rack can be designed with either a flow-optimizing bar profile or a non-blocking wedge wire profile.
Both ends of the cleaning elements are connected to drive chains, with each chain powered by a sprocket on a common shaft and a flange-mounted gear motor. At the end of the bar rack cleaning cycle, the cleaning elements are cleaned by a pivoted comb, which effectively discharges the removed screenings into a downstream transport, washing, or disposal unit. The drive unit, which is easy to access and maintain, is installed above the channel. Thanks to the screen’s compact design, its height above the floor is kept very low.
