- Polyamide hose drums minimize wear and extend service life (award-winning design)
- Suitable for new installations and easy retrofitting into existing intake structures
Geiger High capacity revolving chain screen/ Multi raking machine/ Rotating chain rake screen
The Geiger® High-Capacity Revolving Chain Screen is a heavy-duty rotating chain screening system designed for reliable coarse and fine screening, providing maximum protection against large and sudden debris loads in water intake applications.
Features
- High cleaning efficiency due to minimized gap between screen bars and rake teeth
- Precisely guided chain movement on both sides for stable and reliable operation
- Polyamide sprocket segments for smooth running, reduced noise, corrosion resistance, and grease-free operation
- Highly adaptable design with interchangeable cleaning elements for different debris types (jellyfish, sea grass, fish, algae)
- Optional special buckets for handling jellyfish and high algae loads
- Excellent cleaning performance when equipped with Vee-Wire bar screens
- Simple, robust construction ensuring high reliability and long service life
- Low maintenance requirements with minimized OPEX and lifecycle costs
- Short cleaning intervals for superior protection during peak debris events
Geiger Claw screen/Gripper Rake
The Geiger® Claw Screen is a heavy-duty coarse screening system designed as a first-stage cleaner for water intakes and pump station inlets, efficiently removing extremely bulky debris and large obstacles to protect downstream equipment.
Features
- Extremely robust design capable of handling very heavy and bulky debris, including tree trunks
- Highly economical solution, with a single claw unit serving multiple channels or wide bar screens
- Monorail-mounted traveling system for flexible multi-channel operation
- Direct discharge of debris into a trash container, eliminating the need for concrete collectors or intermediate transport
- Low-maintenance design with minimal wear components
- VFD-controlled smooth start/stop motion to extend service life of mechanical components
- High positioning accuracy enabled by the Geiger® tracking system
Geiger high capacity drum screens
Geiger® High-Capacity Drum Screens are advanced filtration systems installed downstream of coarse bar screens or trash rakes, designed to protect circulating water pumps and downstream equipment by efficiently removing fine debris from cooling water, seawater, raw water, and wastewater intake systems.
Features
- High-capacity screening performance up to 140,000 m³/h per channel (framed drum screens)
- In-to-out flow design with double-sided entry ensures low hydraulic losses
- No buoyancy: static and dynamic forces act vertically and are absorbed by civil structures
- Automatic backwashing using spray water jets aided by gravity for maximum cleaning efficiency
- No debris accumulation on channel floor below the drum
- Designed for an operational service life exceeding 40 years
- Easy access to wash-water nozzles from deck level without stopping operation
- Light yet rigid A-frame drum structure (framed design)
- Low maintenance requirements and minimized lifecycle costs
- Optional impressed-current Cathodic Corrosion Protection (CCP) system to prevent galvanic and microbial corrosion
Geiger Dual-flow (Out-to-In-Flow) Travelling Band Screens
Geiger® Dual-Flow Traveling Band Screens provide high-capacity, reliable fine and coarse screening for water intake systems
Features
- High throughput with exceptional operational reliability
- Compact machine design using roof-shaped or semicircular mesh panels
- Fine to coarse screening capability (200 µm to 10 mm)
- Efficient cleaning and reliable removal of coarse debris
- No debris accumulation on channel bottom and no buoyancy effects
- High-efficiency sealing between mesh panels and chain guiding
- Wear-resistant chain guiding on the clean water side
- Maintenance-free steel side bar chains with replaceable mesh panels
- Gentle fish handling with specially designed fish buckets (Centre-Flow option)
- High-efficiency spray wash system with reduced wash-water pressure
- Polyamide rollers and sprocket teeth for low wear and smooth operation
- Optional Geiger® impressed current cathodic corrosion protection for seawater applications
Geiger Centre-Flow Travelling Band Screens
Geiger® Centre-Flow Traveling Band Screens deliver high-capacity, fine-to-coarse screening with superior cleaning efficiency, compact channel design, and zero debris carry-over for demanding water intake applications.
Features
- High throughput with shorter channel length compared to dual-flow or flat panel screens
- Fully automated filtration with mesh sizes from 200 µm to 10 mm
- Extended screening surface using roof-shaped or half-round mesh panels
- Highest cleaning performance with downward-directed spray wash system
- No debris carry-over
- No debris accumulation on the channel bottom and no buoyancy effect
- Effective removal of slippery and floating debris such as jellyfish, frazil ice
- Gentle fish handling with optional fish protection buckets
- Low-noise, corrosion-resistant polyamide sprocket wheel teeth, easily replaceable and grease-free
- Highly efficient sealing between mesh panels, chains, and guides
- Adjustable band speed for optimized flow control and screen washing
- Optional Geiger® impressed current cathodic corrosion protection for seawater applications
