Bar Screen Cleaning Machines

Bar screen cleaning machines are used in dams and hydroelectric power plants (HPPs) to clean the screens and water paths that separate various debris and materials, ensuring the flow of water. When the flow stability is disrupted due to pollution, leading to a significant decrease in efficiency, these machines provide the necessary cleaning.

At SETA ÇELİK, with our experience in steel construction, hydraulics, pneumatics, and electronic automation, we offer turn-key solutions for bar screen cleaning machines designed to meet the energy sector's needs and provide optimal cleaning responses. We provide support and services from project design to installation.

Bar screen cleaning machines are the most reliable and efficient systems currently used in dams and HPPs in terms of structure and operation. The fully automated cleaning system has replaced traditional methods like manual labor or simple hand tools such as rakes.

By starting to use bar screen cleaning machines in a plant, flow efficiency will improve, and operation and maintenance costs will decrease. With increased efficiency, the return on investment will be quick. Additionally, using bar screen cleaning machines reduces the potential risks to personnel's health and safety by eliminating the need for manual cleaning.

Principle of Operation for Bar Screen Cleaning Machines
To summarize the operation of the bar screen cleaning machines:

• The telescopic boom and cleaning bucket are extended into the water using a hydromechanical system to the area to be cleaned.
• Hydraulic cylinders tilt the boom, applying a fixed pressure on the screen surface, while other hydraulic cylinders lift the boom to remove the debris from the screen.
• Once the cleaning bucket separates from the screen surface, the debris is collected into the cleaning bucket.

Benefits of Using Bar Screen Cleaning Machines
Bar screen cleaning machines are designed to be used in existing or under-construction HPPs and dams. The system's structure varies depending on the size and design of the water intake structure.

• Safe and Efficient Waterway Cleaning
  Bar screen cleaning machines can operate 24/7 without interruption. With built-in heaters, they can function flawlessly even in the coldest weather. The machine integrates with the automation system, allowing for customizable "Automatic Start-End" timings.

• Maximum Flexibility for Efficient Screen Cleaning
  With SETA ÇELİK technology, bar screen cleaning machines are designed to provide maximum flexibility, covering a wide range of applications.

• Easy Maintenance
  All components of the bar screen cleaning machine remain above the water surface, ensuring easy access for inspection and maintenance.

• Efficient Screen Cleaning
  The machines are designed to easily lift debris from inclined surfaces, providing superior efficiency regardless of the surface or angle.

• Flexible Hydraulic Design
  As bar screen cleaning machines are installed in the upper sections of water intake structures, they provide easy access for personnel and a clean walk area with a suitable loading section to dispose of debris.

• Replaceable Cleaning Brushes
  The cleaning buckets of the machines are equipped with durable, long-lasting, and replaceable brushes.

• Remote or Wired Control
  The machines can be controlled remotely or via a wired control system connected to the electrical control panel.

• Overload Protection
  Bar screen cleaning machines offer complete protection against any hydraulic or electrical overloads in the system.

• Automatic Conveyor System
  Depending on the investor’s demand, an automatic conveyor (transport) system can be attached to the bar screen cleaning machines to transport debris to a designated area or vehicle for disposal.

By choosing the bar screen cleaning machines designed with SETA ÇELİK's industrial expertise, you will undoubtedly receive one of the most trusted and efficient cleaning systems available, backed by the SETA ÇELİK guarantee.
