KST+
Electrically driven self-cleaning intake screens
The KleenScreen Torque Plus (KST+) Range features an electric drive which increases the cleaning efficiency by dramatically reducing the energy used to rotate the screen during its cleaning phase.
The system utilises a miniature variable speed drive in combination with a submersible gear-motor to increase the power of the drive, thereby increasing the reliability of the screen’s self-cleaning operation.
The standard KSO Range rotate the screen cage by directing a water jet against a series of blades. Although this is effective, there are many cases where the screens are rotating continuously and so this drive jet can use a considerable amount of energy (up to 2 kW on the larger screens).
The electric drive in the KST+ Range achieves the same result and uses just 10-20 watts. Pressurised water is still required to run the wash jets.
