API S.p.a products

The API ST Trash Rack Cleaner is a fully automated hydraulic rake trash rack cleaner of the Single-Girder or Double-Girder Compact Telescopic type. It is used to remove the material captured by the grills in intake facilities, always allowing the maximum flow of water to the pumps, turbines or plant. It is the ideal trash rack cleaner for deep grills or for impact limitations in height. The cleaning action is carried out by the rake, which opens and extends to the lowest point of the grill, then rises back up against it, intercepting and removing the solids retained up to the highest discharge point, where Conveyor Belts are ready to operate continuously and in coordination with the Trash Rack Cleaner. Frame, Rake and Extensible Unit are made of steel with hot-dip galvanisation (ISO 1461) for long-lasting outdoor operation. Switchgear and hydraulic central unit are installed, protected and inside the machine.

The API Rotary Trash Rack Cleaner is a type of fully automated chain trash rack cleaner. It is ideal for cleaning foliage and grass off grills arranged in the intake facilities in small hydroelectric plants, irrigation canals or pump stations. The rotary trash rack cleaner`s cleaning action is carried out by scraper rakes that move together with the chain, adhering to the grill and thereby intercepting and lifting leaves, algae and branches up to the highest point where they fall behind the grill. Frame, main components, chains and rakes are made of S275 steel. Hot-dip galvanisation (ISO 1461) is applied to ensure long-lasting operation of the machine outdoors. The switchgear and control panel are supplied loose to be installed locally in the most convenient position.
