Costa Mesa, CA -- For decades JWC Environmental’s Finescreen Monster® has utilized stainless steel, perforated plates bolted directly to the drive-chains. Now, for the first time, JWC has created a unique ultra-high molecular weight (UHMW) polyethylene perforated panel — a similar concept that has been used on the high capture efficiency Bandscreen Monster® for years.
A significant benefit of this design is the reduced chance of debris “stapling” (or hair-pinning) the panels highly abrasion/wear/corrosion resistant panels. With less debris sticking to the panels, this design reduces the use of panel cleaning brushes and maximizes the efficiency of the existing spray-wash system.
Each UHMW panel fits into the stainless steel frame allowing for easy removal and maintenance. While similar in design as the existing stainless steel panel designs, the UHMW panels can be removed from the frame without removing the entire panel assembly from the screen.
One benefit of these easy to remove panels is the ability to change the entire screen from one perforation size to another as flow or design parameters change. For example a screen with 6mm perforations can easily be changed to one with 3mm perforations.
According to the United Kingdom WIR report, perforated plate screens have a screenings capture ratio double that of bar screens- ensuring more of the trash is removed at the headworks.
JWC Environmental distributes its products through a global network of independent representatives and distributors. In addition, JWC provides extensive sales and service support through regional and international product support centers.
