Description
Designed to handle a diverse range of influents, the SCREENMASTER® RT offers precision screening with customizable screen openings. Available with filter cloth options as fine as 500 microns or perforated plates up to 6 mm, it adapts seamlessly to your facility's specific requirements. This flexibility ensures optimized solid-liquid separation and protects sensitive downstream processes from clogging and damage.Crafted entirely from corrosion-resistant 304 or 316 stainless steel, the SCREENMASTER® RT withstands the harshest environments. Its robust, industrial-grade construction ensures longevity, minimal downtime, and reduced lifecycle costs, making it a dependable choice for continuous, heavy-duty operations.

Self-Cleaning
The SCREENMASTER® RT is equipped with strategically placed internal and external high-pressure spray nozzles that continuously clean the screening surface during operation. Additionally, an optional brush assembly is available to enhance cleaning effectiveness, particularly beneficial in handling fibrous or adhesive solids. This dual cleaning system maintains high throughput, reduces clogging, and lowers manual intervention. The combined action of water jets and the mechanical brushing ensures thorough removal of solids and prevents buildup that could otherwise impair the screening efficiency. This feature significantly reduces the need for manual cleaning, prolongs screen life, and optimizes operational performance. Operators benefit from reduced downtime, minimized maintenance interventions, and consistently high-quality separation outcomes.

Simplified Maintenance and Operation
The SCREENMASTER® RT’s user-centric design greatly simplifies routine maintenance and operational tasks. Its direct gear drive eliminates pulleys and internal gear components, significantly reducing the complexity and frequency of maintenance. Additionally, removable access panels allow operators to quickly inspect, clean, and service internal components with minimal downtime. Clearly labeled components and accessible internal structures streamline troubleshooting, further enhancing maintenance efficiency. This intuitive design reduces overall maintenance costs, minimizes downtime, and ensures consistent and reliable operation.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
1What capture rates does the SCREENMASTER RT achieve?
The SCREENMASTER RT is designed for high solids content and reliable flow performance. The internally fed rotary drum design ensures consistent screening across a wide range of flow rates, including peak flow conditions.
2How does the self-cleaning mechanism work?
The SCREENMASTER RT uses an internal spray wash system to maintain screen cleanliness. Optional external high-pressure spray bars and rotary brush systems further reduce solids buildup and extend operating cycles between manual cleaning.
3What maintenance does the SCREENMASTER RT require?
The SCREENMASTER RT has no internal chains, gears, or sprockets to maintain. Routine service includes inspecting spray nozzles, the compact drive system, and corrosion-resistant components. Tool-free access panels simplify service, and all wetted components are constructed from T304 or T316 stainless steel for long life.
4What applications is the SCREENMASTER RT suited for?
The SCREENMASTER RT serves municipal wastewater treatment plants, food and beverage production, pulp and paper mills, textile manufacturing, industrial process water recovery, and third-party liquid waste receiving operations. Its enclosed design reduces odor and enhances safety.
