Franklin Miller releases Spiralift SC for screenings in wastewater applications

Franklin Miller, Livingston, New Jersey, has released the Spiralift SC Screenings Washer/Compactor, an advanced solution designed for treating and compacting screenings in wastewater applications.

The company says its Spiralift SC provides efficient washing, compacting and deodorizing of screenings and can be installed behind a new or existing mechanical bar screen installation and can quickly go to work enhancing screening output.

Processed solids are discharged as ground, uniform particles in a compacted plug, the company says, ideally conditioning them for disposal. The equipment utilizes a Taskmaster Screenings Grinder to reduce solids to a small size, exposing multiple surfaces, then ground solids are intensively washed to remove contaminants and organics. Screenings are then compacted band conveyed by the unit’s powerful screw press and organics are returned to the flow.

As screenings drop into the SC hopper, they are washed by the upper spray nozzles and then ground by the Taskmaster shredder. Next, the unit washes organics and flushes them back into the system. Screenings are then compacted in the unit’s press zone. Finally, the processed screenings pass through a discharge pipe and are deposited into a bin, bag or conveyor—washed, ground and reduced in weight.

Franklin Miller's Spiralift SC is provided complete with a hopper, shredder, tank enclosure, solenoid valves, spray manifolds and controller. The PLC-based controller monitors and integrates the entire system.

The Spiralift SC is produced in several models. The SC1620 features a 10-horsepower Taskmaster shredder and a 3-horsepower shaft-mounted auger drive and can handle up to 175 cubic feet per hour of solids. The SC8520 features a 5-horsepower grinder and 3-horsepower auger drive for up to 50 cubic feet per hour of solids.

The company says other sizes are available.
