Catenary Bar Screens
The E&I extra heavy-duty Catenary Bar Screen is a front cleaned, front return mechanical bar screen using two (2) strands of steel chain that is heavier and has superior strength than any other screen chain. Connected between these chains are counter weighted rakes that remove debris trapped on the bar rack. Since the chain links lock onto themselves to form a rigid “catenary curve”, the lower sprocket is eliminated – enabling easier inspection & maintenance; and is less susceptible to blockages, damage and corrosion than chain driven units. The result is a much longer operating life, less maintenance shutdowns and lower maintenance cost.

- All maintenance performed from operating floor
- Low operating costs
- High capacity (multiple rakes attached to looped chain), large shelf angles available for large debris, (tree limbs, car tires etc.)
- Jam free operation
