A screw screen is an important component in water and wastewater treatment plants. It helps in the preliminary treatment stage by removing larger solids and debris from the incoming water.

Here’s a brief overview of its function and benefits:

• Solid Separation: The screw screen consists of a rotating screw mechanism that captures and conveys solids to a disposal area while allowing water to flow through.
• Continuous Operation: It operates continuously, providing a reliable way to remove solids without the need for manual intervention.

• Reduced Maintenance: By effectively removing solids, it minimizes wear on downstream equipment and reduces the need for manual cleaning.
• Enhanced Efficiency: Improves overall plant efficiency by ensuring that larger particles do not interfere with subsequent treatment processes.
• Space-Saving Design: Often compact, making it suitable for facilities with limited space.

• Commonly used in municipal wastewater treatment plants, industrial effluent treatment, and water treatment facilities.
