Rotary Screen - Internally Fed


Used in food plants, industrial and municipal operations, the FTI Externally Fed Rotary Screens are designed for high efficiency handling of a cariety of types of solids, even fibrous, fats, oils, and grease. These slurries are effectively separated at higher flow rates and lower operation and maintenance costs.

FTI Internal Rotary Screen/Thickeners offer:
•Self-cleaning screen
•Higher solids recovery
•Drier solids
•Fiber does not blind or staple
•Less space requirements
•Low capitol cost
•Low operation and maintenance costs

•Slurry enters tapered header inside the rotating screen.
•The header is designed to distribute flow to the headbox, keeping the solids in suspension.
•The slurry flows smoothly over the weir along the side of the headbox and falls perpendicular to the wedgewire openings of the screen.
•As the liquid passes through the rotating screen cylinder, the captured solids are retained on the screen where they accumulate and dewater,
•As the solids tumble, a series of diverters arranged in a spiraling pattern continuously moves solids to the cylinder end for removal.

STANDARDS
•All Rotary Screens are manufactured to sanitary standards, stainless steel and FDA approved plastic contact parts, wash down rated, and variable speed control.
•Screen, frame and enclosures are manufactured of 304 or 316 stainless steel.
•All products are warranted to our standard warantee policy.

Sizing and Selection is determined by application, flow rate, solids load process characteristics adn technical criteria established through experience. All design aspects of the application must be considered to determine model selection.
