Hydraulic
Cleaning Machines It is the family of products by API SpA designed and sup- pllied for automatic and continous trash racks cleaning. Its purpose is to automatically clean trash racks installed on water intake works of hydro-power plant and pumping stations, wastewater treatment plants or irrigation facili- ties. The systems include a bar type rack with openings nor- mally between 20 and 200 mm, and a mechanical part (the rakers) whose action makes it possible to continuously re- move the debirs held on the rack; these are then conveyed to special silos or collecting boxes through API conveyor belts. The range of products offered by API SpA includes seve- ral solutions, distinguishable by the technology used, the fow capacity, and the size; this makes it possible to meet almost all needs. Single arm column type cleaning machine Single arm cleaning machine Double arm cleaning machine Double arm Telescopic cleaning machine Double arm, double Piston cleaning machine Complete System integration API Conveyor belts continuosly move the debris held by the trash racks and removed by the cleaning machines, to which they are interlocked and integrated. Horizontal or lifting conveyor belts, made of stainless steel mesh or elastomer and having a suitably designed profle, handles the solids from the cleaning equipment, transporting them to basins, boxes or to silos in which they are collected. The width of the belt, which is always draining type, nor- mally ranges from a minimum of 400 mm to a maximum of 1,000 mm and its speed varies between 0.25 and 0.35 m/s. Design The cleaning machine is designed to fully comply the tra- sh rack construction and geometry. it is driven by an hy- draulic power unit for combination of downward/upward movement, as well as back and forth, so creating a de- mi-elliptical movement that allows the perfect removal and extraction of retained debris. The driving hydraulic unit and the electrical PLC based control panel are fully protected and contained into the same machine casing or inside an indipendent cupboard. Machine automated operation is based as standard on programmable temporized WORK/PAUSE schedule to be set on specifcation. Water level control may also be provided, additional sensors (piezo or ultrasonic) detects the difference between the water levels upstream and downstream of the trash rack, in order to start the cleaning action based on real clogging and fow rate, independently of timing set. Also, for specifc cases and very large trash racks confgu- ration, mobile arrangement option provides the cleaning machine to move automatically on railways through all the rack width, so cleaning the all rack surface in several pas- sages.
