How to Choose the Right Rotary Drum Screen: A Buyer's Checklist for International Clients

Purchasing a Rotary Drum Screen is a significant investment. Making the right choice requires careful consideration of several technical and operational factors. As a leading manufacturer and global supplier, we’ve created this checklist to guide you through the selection process and ensure you get a perfectly matched solution.

Your Essential Rotary Drum Screen Checklist:

Flow Rate (m³/h or GPM): What is your average and peak flow? This is the most critical factor determining the physical size (diameter and length) of the drum screen required.

Screening aperture (mm or inch): What size particles do you need to remove? Finer screens (e.g., 0.5mm-1mm) are for detailed work, while coarser screens (e.g., 3mm-6mm) are for primary protection. The aperture size directly impacts the screen's open area and flow capacity.

Influent Characteristics: What are you screening? Describe the nature of the solids (e.g., fibrous, abrasive, greasy) and the chemical properties of the liquid (pH, temperature, salinity). This determines the best material of construction (e.g., 304 vs. 316 stainless steel).

Discharge Requirements: How do you need the captured solids handled? Options include integrated screw conveyors, belt conveyors, or simple chutes into containers. Consider solids volume and transport distance.

Installation Environment: Will the screen be installed indoors or outdoors? This affects the need for protective coatings, covers, or special outdoor-rated motors and control panels.

Level of Automation: Do you need basic on/off operation, or integration with VFDs for speed control and PLCs for remote monitoring and alarm integration? Automation optimizes performance but affects the initial investment.
