Step Screens

The Step Screen operates by allowing wastewater to flow through a series of fixed and movable lamellae arranged in a stepped configuration. As solids accumulate on the steps, the movable lamellae lift the screenings upward in a stepwise motion, depositing them into a discharge chute. This self-cleaning mechanism ensures continuous operation without the need for additional cleaning systems.
