Description
The Escalator gives continuous ne screening for channel type applications with superior eciency to slotted and bar screens. This highly vesatile screen is successfully employed in wastewater, stormwater and potable water applications. Perforated stainless steel screen panels are carried on heavyduty chains and incorporate holes of 1 / 4 (6mm) diameter or less, giving ne screening in any direction. The screen panels are specially formed to create shelves giving the ability to remove larger screenings and to increase the eective screening area. Flow capacity is dependent on channel width, water level and perforation size. The Escalator can readily be installed in new or existing channels with a minimum of civil alterations. With over 1100 units in service, the Escalator Fine Screen is a proven, reliable component of John Meuniers pretreatment products.

PROVEN PERFORMANCE
The screen performance impacts the overall operation and maintenance of the subsequent treatment processes. Between 1998 and 2000, the Escalator screen was evaluated along with other manufacturers units at the Chester-Le-Street STP, Co Durham UK. These tests demonstrated that for all inclined screens tested, the Escalator Fine Screen has the highest SCR (Solids Capture Ratio) in the static mode (O- mode). Other tests also determined that the Escalator screen is over 97% ecient in limiting solids Carry Over, thus reducing signicantly the amount of traceable solids in the euent.
