Fine screen for municipal and industrial wastewater treatment
Streamline wastewater treatment with a reliable, self-cleaning fine screen that enhances screening capacity and reduces energy consumption, ensuring optimal separation of fine particles and sludge with minimal maintenance.

Continuously Screens and Cleans Industrial Effluents
The ANDRITZ Aqua-Guard fine screen is an engineered solution designed for efficient, continuous screening in industrial and municipal applications. With its self-cleaning, continuous belt screen system, it excels at processing municipal wastewater, pulp fibers, dye effluents, and more by employing a unique moving/lifting staircase mechanism and exchangeable ABS teeth. This system allows for precise separation and integrates seamlessly into existing infrastructure without requiring channel modifications. The Aqua-Guard offers impressive throughput capabilities, handling flow rates between 150 to 800 m³/hr, with a bi-dimensional mesh system adaptable for diverse operational needs. Its design minimizes energy use and enhances cleaning effectiveness, utilizing a triple cleaning system and specially shaped teeth for high lifting capacities and efficiency. Available in durable material configurations for long-lasting service, it supports extended lifespans of up to 20 years and requires minimal maintenance due to the absence of immersed rotary parts. Configurable for specific customer requirements, it serves a broad range of industries, from textile and tanneries to wineries and breweries, ensuring reliable performance in demanding separation tasks.
