Rotating Bar Interceptors
Response Group manufacture Rotating Bar Interceptors (RBIs) which operate as a coarse bar screen system to deny access to abnormally heavy objects which could cause damage to pumping installations, mechanically raked fine screens or other downstream wastewater treatment plant. The rotating bars, which revolve at approximately the same rate as effluent flow, direct the wastewater and normal solids through unhindered. The build-up of solids and the necessity for local removal is avoided. Various tube diameters and bar spacings are available to suit the most likely solids removal requirements.
The RBI construction consists of a series of tubes mounted within a fabricated steel frame. Each tube is provided with end bearings and a drive shaft which is coupled to an individual hydraulic motor mounted on the top beam of the frame.
In the event of one or more bars stalling due to overload the remaining tubes will continue to rotate independently in normal operation. The rotation of the tubes can be reversed automatically to facilitate clearing of the screen. The unit which is located within guides can be easily removed for inspection and maintenance.
