The SCREENMASTER ES externally fed rotary drum screen provides advanced solids removal for municipal and industrial wastewater treatment, offering reliable, low-maintenance screening performance at high flow rates.
Established 1918 · Made in USA · Livingston, NJ
Product Overview
The Screenmaster ES is an externally fed rotary drum screen designed to provide efficient and reliable solids separation in a wide range of wastewater treatment applications. Ideal for municipal headworks, industrial process water, and sludge screening, the unit delivers high-performance screening with minimal operator attention. Its rugged stainless steel construction and enclosed, self-cleaning design ensure long-term durability and cleanliness, even in demanding environments.
As wastewater flows over the drum’s exterior surface, solids are retained while liquid passes through the screen openings. The rotating drum is continuously cleaned by an internal spray system, maintaining open screening surfaces and maximizing throughput. The captured solids are conveyed to discharge, leaving screened effluent ready for downstream treatment. With a compact footprint, customizable screen sizes, and low maintenance requirements, the Screenmaster ES offers a simple yet effective solution for enhancing plant efficiency and protecting downstream equipment.
The Screenmaster ES utilizes gravity to evenly distribute influent flow across the externally fed rotating drum, effectively managing variations in solids concentration. This controlled distribution enhances solids separation and reduces the risk of overload, maintaining reliable performance even with changing wastewater conditions.
Drum rotation, combined with a precision spray cleaning system, eliminates buildup and maintains optimal screening efficiency without manual cleaning. This external-feed design simplifies maintenance by ensuring solids remain on the drum's outer surface, protecting internal components from debris and wear. The screened effluent moves swiftly downstream, minimizing headloss and enhancing overall system efficiency.
