Conveyor Screens — Headworks

Integrated screening, washing, and dewatering in a single compact unit — reducing screenings volume, odor, and disposal cost.

What is a Conveyor Screen?

Conveyor screens — also known as spiral screw screens — integrate screening, conveying, and dewatering into a single unit. Wastewater flows through a perforated cylindrical screen at the base of an inclined shaftless screw conveyor. Solids are captured by the screen, transported upward by the screw, washed of organics, and dewatered during transport — all in one continuous operation. The result is a reduced-volume screenings product that is cleaner, drier, and far easier to handle and dispose of than raw wet screenings.

Equipment We Represent

WTP Equipment — Conveyor Screen Model CS

  • Cost-effective, stand-alone unit for packaged or in-channel applications
  • Ideal for confined space installations and small to medium screening applications
  • U-Trough configuration — constant diameter shaftless screw with bolted covers for maintenance access; standard for most applications
  • O-Trough (high-capacity) configuration — circular housing with stainless steel flatbar wearliner; allows higher angle installation for reduced footprint and wider channel applications
  • Shaftless screw design — no internal shafts or bearings to plug with stringy or fibrous materials
  • Enclosed housing for odor control and operator safety
  • Optional screenings washing stage
  • Optional screenings bagger for contained disposal

DryCake — Perfobask Basket Screw-Screen

  • Combined screening, washing, and compaction in a single in-channel or in-tank unit
  • Screw conveyance transports and dewaters captured screenings
  • Integrated compaction reduces screenings volume and disposal cost

Septage Receiving
Removal of solids from hauled septage and grease trap waste

Why Winschel Environmental?

  • All-in-one solution — screen, convey, wash, and dewater in a single unit with a small footprint
  • Reduced disposal costs — drier, cleaner screenings mean lower hauling and landfill costs
  • Shaftless design advantage — handles the stringy rags and fibrous materials that jam shafted systems
  • Two trough options — U-trough for standard applications, O-trough for higher-capacity or tighter installations
  • Virginia coverage — local support for startup and service
