Bar screens for wastewater treatment
Efficiently remove coarse debris from wastewater streams with high-capacity sub-vertical screening technology, ensuring optimal flow and minimal maintenance in demanding municipal and industrial settings.

Efficiently Screens and Removes Coarse Solids
The Sub-Vertical Mechanical Bar Screens GVB from WAMGROUP are engineered for robust performance in municipal and industrial wastewater treatment applications. These screens excel at coarse screening, featuring a durable steel frame and variable bar filter spacing to match your specific screening requirements. Employing a chain-driven rake system, they effectively capture and remove debris from wastewater streams, streamlining processing and protecting downstream equipment from clogs. With wide applicability—from municipal plants to abattoirs and food processing facilities—they transform untreated waste into cleaner effluents, recycled plastic pellets, and other valuable by-products. The GVB series accommodates channel widths from 400 to 2,000 mm, supporting continuous operation while minimizing energy usage due to its efficient design. Constructed from hot-dip galvanized or 304/316L stainless steel, they offer superior corrosion resistance. Their low maintenance design eliminates the need to remove screens from channels, featuring recessed guide channels and minimal moving parts for reduced service demands. Integration is seamless, with options for different control panel configurations and motor protections available.
