Discover the Power of Mechanical Bar Screens for Sludge Filtration

JX Filtration Presser

In wastewater treatment, the first line of defense against solid debris is often the most important. Mechanical bar screens are essential in removing large solid particles and protecting downstream equipment from clogging and damage—especially when dealing with sludge, which is dense, sticky, and loaded with debris.

A mechanical bar screen (also known as a mechanical grating or coarse screen) is a robust and automated solution designed to intercept rags, plastics, sticks, and other solids from sludge streams. Installed at the headworks of treatment plants or within sludge handling lines, this equipment works continuously with minimal human intervention.

Our mechanical bar screens are made from corrosion-resistant stainless steel (SS304 or SS316) and can be customized in width, bar spacing, and flow capacity. Driven by a motorized rake system, the screen automatically lifts and removes accumulated solids, depositing them into a bin or conveyor system for disposal or further treatment.

Key benefits include:

  • Reliable Protection: Prevents damage to pumps, pipes, and downstream equipment.

  • Efficient Solid Separation: Capable of handling high solid loads in primary and secondary sludge streams.

  • Low Maintenance: Self-cleaning mechanism ensures consistent operation and reduces downtime.

  • Customizable Design: Adaptable to various channel widths, depths, and flow conditions.

Whether you're managing municipal sludge or treating industrial effluent, a mechanical bar screen is a smart investment to improve operational efficiency, reduce maintenance costs, and ensure compliance with environmental standards.
