Open Channel Screening Technologies

The open channel environment offers some of the harshest conditions – and debris – in the screening market. Duperon has spent more than twenty years developing solutions to waterflow issues at open channel intakes to assure continued flow when it’s most critical.

  • Assures Continued Flow – Even Through Heavy Storms – without Interruption or Shutdown
  • No Lower Sprockets, Bearings, Tracks or Guides that Require Underwater Lubrication
  • Continually Cleans Across Entire Intake

Duperon® FlexRake® FRHD: Heavy Duty Coarse Screen

A front-clean, front-return, mechanically cleaned bar screen technology
Utilizes A36 steel with Duperon® standard coating or hot-dipped galvanized; also available in 304 and 316 stainless steel
Available with 2 inch – 4 inch openings

Duperon® FlexRake® FRHD Features & Benefits

Continuous Cleaning

Continually cleans across the entire intake with multiple scrapers (no cycle times, no clogging).

Low Maintenance

With no lower sprocket, FlexRake® technology allows all maintenance to be performed from the deck; no jam points underwater to require diving or confined space entry.

Long-Life Durability

Original FlexLinkTM multifunctional link system – with 5 lb. stainless steel cast links and an ultimate strength of 60,000 lbs. – provides unmatched durability. Many systems have been operating for more than 20 years.

Full Range Adaptability – Unhampered by Large Debris

Jam EvasionTM technology allows the FlexLinkTM multifunctional link system to lift and pivot around debris. This allows FlexRake® technology to adapt to a wide range of debris variations.

Energy Efficient

The low horsepower requirements of the Sumitomo drive system ensure low-cost, energy efficient debris removal.
