Grit Classifier

The Grit Classifier is used in conjunction with the Aeroductor or SpiraGrit Vortex Grit Chamber, where the pumped grit is sent to the classifier for further separation and dewatering. The classifier’s screw conveyor transports the settled grit for disposal, while the overflow is sent back to the grit chamber.

Lakeside offers multiple Grit Classifier types which can be incorporated into your grit removal system. Our engineers will help select the right classifier based on your operation.

H-PAC®

Lakeside’s H-PAC® system combines our Raptor® or Hydronic T Screening product line with our SpiraGrit Vortex Grit Chamber in an elevated pre-engineered headworks system. The modular design allows you to choose the proper Raptor® Screen for your application. The Raptor® Screen will remove, wash, compact and dewater the captured screenings and the SpiraGrit Vortex Grit Chamber will remove grit in a mechanically induced vortex environment. The Hydronic T Screen is also available for screenings removal with cost savings at higher flow rates. The H-PAC®’s self-contained system is capable of handling flows as high as 12 mgd. With its compact design the H-PAC® requires less space and costs less than other packaged screen/grit systems.

Hydronic Multifunctional Series Trash Rake

The Hydronic Multifunctional (M) Series Trash Rake is a traversing raking mechanism with either an articulating arm or a combination articulating arm with a telescoping rake. It can operate in manual, semi-automatic or fully automatic modes to clean the trash rack. A grab rake and climate controlled driver cab are included with each unit to allow an operator to manually remove floating debris, skim the water surface, and lift gates and stop logs. Equipped with the most current hydraulic components, drives and pumps, and a state-of-the-art control system these rakes provide precision control and reliable operation.

Multiple rake head designs are available for the Hydronic M Series such as the single gripper, triple jaw gripper for optimal removal efficiency, or an orange peel grapple to remove debris from the surface or the bottom of the trash rack.

Hydronic H Series Trash Rake

For river water intake applications the Hydronic H Series Trash Rake moves the debris downstream for effective removal. The hydraulically operated rake pivots into the bar rack with horizontal bars and then moves sideways to clean the rack. The debris can be washed away at the end of the rack or collected using a grab rake.

This trash rake is available in both a stationary or traversing version for flexibility in meeting the needs of your operation.

Catronic Series Trash Rake

Reliable and efficient for cleaning trash racks up to a depth of 200 feet, Catronic Series Trash Rakes are cable-operated, heavy-duty raking mechanisms. The cleaning operation is performed by a rake head and cable winch system with a lifting capacity up to 20 tons. The rake head removes the captured debris, which is then deposited into a dumpster.

The Catronic Series trash rack cleaner is available as a stationary unit to clean one rack, or as a traversing unit for cleaning multiple bar racks.

Monorail Series Trash Rake

Ideal for facilities with multiple bar racks, the Catronic SH – Monorail Series Trash Rake combines screening and transporting into one mechanism. A trolley transports the rake assembly along the monorail structure, which spans above the trash rack. The fully automated cleaning operation is performed by a grab rake and cable system. The rake head removes the captured debris, which is then transported and deposited into a dumpster.

This raking device does not require multiple rakes or conveyor systems, making it a cost-effective solution for cleaning trash racks.

HY-TEC Stormwater Screen

Ideal for combined sewer and storm sewer overflow, and wastewater by-pass applications, the completely automatic HY-TEC Screen operates only as needed during excess flow conditions. Mounted on a hydraulically driven frame, the raking mechanism cleans the stationary bar rack allowing only clean water to enter the by-pass flow while the debris remains in the main flow stream and continues onto the treatment facility for ultimate removal.

CO-TEC Screen

The CO-TEC Screen cleans coarse and fine bar screens in wastewater and industrial applications with a reverse current cleaning principle. The rake teeth extend through the bar screen from the downstream side, then move upward to remove the captured debris. It does not require guides, sprockets or chains, with access to all moving parts above the channel for ease of operation and maintenance.

RO-TEC Drum Screen

Ideal for river water intake applications, the RO-TEC Drum is a self-cleaning screen. The rotation of the drum screen moves debris in tandem with the river’s current and is fish friendly. The drum screen, which does not require much power to operate, has the drive mechanism above the water level making this screening device inconspicuous in comparison to conventional screening systems.

Raptor® Septage Complete Plant

The Raptor® Septage Complete Plant (SCP) is a fully automated unit that combines screening and grit removal into one self-contained unit for treating septage, grease traps, sludge, leachate and industrial waste. The heart of the SCP is the Raptor® Fine Screen, which compacts and dewaters the captured screenings to a solids content of 40 percent. The screen’s rotating rake teeth fully penetrates the cylindrical screen bars, which prevents plugging and blinding from occurring from grease and small debris. This allows for faster unloading times to generate more revenue for your facility. Grit settles out in the aerated grit chamber and is removed by the grit transport and dewatering screws. The SCP’s grit chamber can also be equipped with an optional grease trap to remove excess grease. The captured grease can be removed either manually or by a motorized skimmer mechanism.

The Raptor® Acceptance Control System (RACS) is a security access station that can be integrated with the SCP to allow authorized haulers to unload their waste at your facility. Adding the data management and accounting system with the RACS station provides administration capabilities to track and invoice customers.
