Drum Screen Intake Solutions

Further Description and the Geiger High-Capacity Shaftless Drum Screen Option
Geiger® Drum Screens are generally designed to support high differential loading. Motor and gearbox are mounted at deck level for easy access and maintenance.
Sizes: 6 – 22 m diameter
Filtration: 1- 10 mm mesh size
The Geiger® Cathodic Corrosion Protection system combines well with Drum Screen structures built in coated carbon steel, 316L or other stainless or Duplex stainless steels for seawater applications.
The Geiger® Shaftless High-Capacity Drum Screens, (sometimes referred to as Frameless or Spokeless Drum Screens) are designed without radial arms/spokes or a central shaft. The slightly lighter nature of the Geiger® Shaftless Drum Screen allows for a reduced load on the civil work, thus avoiding the need to accomodate shaft-supporting civil structure, as required for Framed Drum Screen installations.
No permanently submerged moving parts are involved and the mesh panels, rollers or pins can be inspected, maintained and if necessary replaced at deck level without the need to dewater the screening chamber. The Geiger® Shaftless Drum Screens require a very simple civil work structure and the design of the tracks attached to the chamber walls allows for ample adjustment to accommodate minor variations in the flatness of the chamber walls.
The typical application of Geiger® Shaftless Drum Screens are in open channel intakes with capacities up to 90,000m³/hr per channel. Additional advantages are the clean inlet (hydraulic passage) into the screen and a greatly simplified civil work. For flows in excess of 90,000m³/hr per channel the Geiger Framed Drum Screen or a higher quantity of channels should be considered.
