Step screens for fine wastewater screening
In both municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plants, separating non-biodegradable solids, floating materials, and inorganic substances is a critical process. Efficient and low-maintenance fine screening solutions are required to ensure these materials are effectively removed from wastewater streams.

Automate solid separation with self-cleaning screens
The VTR Step Screens by WAMGROUP are designed for fine screening of wastewater in both municipal and industrial settings. These screens feature two sets of lamellae – mobile and fixed – separated by either 3 mm or 6 mm spacing. The unique arrangement of the lamellae forms filtering steps that efficiently capture inorganic particles and other debris. As the mobile lamellae rise, they lift the captured screenings step by step until they reach the discharge outlet. This process creates a ‘screenings mat’, which blocks finer particles and aids in maintaining high capture efficiency. Available in various sizes up to 1,800 mm in width and with discharge heights ranging from 1,400 to 3,500 mm, the VTR Step Screens are reliable and efficient. Constructed with self-cleaning mechanisms and low maintenance design, these screens offer substantial savings in operating costs. Options for alternative screen types, sizes, and materials such as 304 L / 316 L stainless steel are available.
