The Self-Cleaning Trashrack is known as a "front-cleaning, rear-return" type, meaning it cleans from the bottom to the top and returns on the downstream side of the face rack.
Scrapers Locking Mechanism
The water flow forces debris against the bar screen.
Large and small debris mat together, creating a head
differential.
The head differential activates the chain drive.
Lifting cars are conveyed from behind the rack, under the matted debris, carrying it slowly up the face rack and over the top.
Heavy rubber panels located behind the top of the rack strip debris from the cars.
Debris is piled behind the rack or conveyed to a storage area for easy removal.
