Trash-rack cleaning machines
Trash-rack cleaning machines reliably remove deposited foreign bodies from the protective rack in front of the inlet openings and ensure unobstructed flow of water to the turbines.
Depending on the scope of contamination, trash-rack cleaning machines secure high energy use of your hydropower station. In particular, in the autumn when leaves fall from the trees or in the winter when ice covers some parts, cleaning machines can guarantee an increase in capacity of up to 30%.
CINK Hydro-Energy offers specific cleaning machines for any type of trash-racks, depending on the design:
- Telescopic cleaning machines for trash-racks up to 3.5m wide and lifts up to 1.5m high
- Stationary hydraulically-controlled cleaning machines for trash-racks up to 6m wide and lifts up to 5m high
- Mobile, hydraulically-controlled cleaning machines for trash-racks up to 50m wide and lifts up to 5m high
- Chain-driven cleaning machines for trash-racks up to 15m wide and lifts up to 10m high
A common feature of all design types is high quality, guaranteeing trouble-free operation for several decades:
- Robust, steel box construction, resistant to distortion
- Completely zinc plated
- Maintenance-free bearings with permanent lubricant filling
- Oil hydraulic equipment with a pressure limiter serving as a breakdown fuse
- The construction of the cleared board does not require any alignment of racks
- The cleaning doctor is made of material highly resistant to wear
- The cleaning algorithm is controlled automatically by means of water level sensors or switch relays
- We also offer frost-resistant heated belt conveyors
