Kuenz - Trash Rack Cleaning Machines

Thanks to their flexibility and robust design, our hydraulic systems are perfectly suited to remove bulky debris from vertical and inclined trash racks. They can lift up to six tonnes and clean to a depth of max. 33 meters.

Manual or fully automatic operation. Automated surface debris removal. Constant pressure on trash racks ensures best cleaning results. Customized solutions available. 

For dams built in narrow spaces, our rope systems deliver unrivaled precision and reliability. They can lift up to 8.5 tonnes and clean to a depth max. 100 meters. The rope-based technology requires little maintenance, meaning the machine is available when it’s needed most. Thanks to an integrated loading crane, our rope systems can efficiently clear garbage carpets from the surface of the water.

Hydropower plants face increasing pressure to lower their environmental impact. Horizontal trash rack and cleaning systems by Kuenz are designed to facilitate compliance with fish protection requirements. They can lift up to 3 tonnes and clean to a depth of max. 8 meters. The integrated loading crane quickly removes large branches and logs. And thanks to a flushing device at the end of the trash rack, our horizontal systems can dispose of debris automatically.

Challenging site conditions or special applications require custom solutions. Every power plant has different requirements for the handling of debris. Our solutions offer maximum flexibility in system design – from direct discharge to underground flushing channels. Kuenz TRCM-S systems are site-specific designed to ensure efficient debris removal at any intake.
