An Escalator is a fine mesh sieve (continuous band screen) which is inserted into a channel of waste water normally at 45 or 60 degree angles. The waste water flows through the screen and sieves out solids (screenings) using perforations of either 6mm as standard or 3mm as an option. Screenings larger than these perforations will be caught on the screen elements which also act as a conveyer and escalate the screenings up and out of the water. The screenings are deposited out of a discharge chute into a trough and are taken to a screenings handling unit such as the Combi or Rotapak.
