GTR – Rotary Drum Screen
The Rotary Drum Screen (GTR) by Fluiteco represents an advanced, multi-functional solution designed for high-efficiency solid-liquid separation in plants with significant water flow rates. This compact and robust unit integrates filtration, transport, and dewatering into a single treatment process, significantly reducing waste volume and optimizing overall operational costs.

Versatile Filtration and Compact Design
The GTR is engineered for maximum adaptability, allowing for seamless installation in concrete channels or within a dedicated stainless steel tank (GTR-T model) for piped wastewater applications. To meet diverse plant requirements, the filtration basket is available in two high-precision configurations: perforated sheet metal with circular holes ranging from 2 mm to 8 mm, or Wedge Wire mesh utilizing a trapezoidal stainless steel profile with spacing between 0.25 mm and 2 mm for fine screening.
Integrated Transport and Dewatering System
The operational core of the GTR is its integrated screw conveyor. As the drum captures suspended solids, the internal screw simultaneously lifts and transports the screenings toward a dedicated compaction zone. This process is remarkably efficient, reducing waste volume and weight by more than 40%. For demanding applications with high solid loads, the GTR-D Dual Motor variant features independent gear motors for the drum and the screw, enhancing mechanical reliability and ensuring continuous performance even under peak stress conditions.
Smart Cleaning and Automated Operation
Efficiency is maintained through a dual-action cleaning system where a high-pressure spray nozzle bar works in synchronization with a scraper brush to ensure the drum remains free of debris. The machine’s operation is triggered automatically by upstream water level sensors. This “controlled blinding” effect creates an additional natural filter layer, allowing the capture of particles even smaller than the screen openings. Once processed, the dewatered solids are discharged into collection containers, effectively eliminating odor nuisances and manual handling requirements.
The Advantages of Fluiteco Design
The GTR stands out for its robust industrial engineering and maintenance-oriented design. Entirely constructed from high-grade stainless steel for maximum durability, the machine features advanced protection systems such as mechanical torque limiters and limit switches. Maintenance is simplified through easily accessible lubrication points and integrated brushes. The Fluiteco design also offers specialized options for specific environments, including active or passive thermal insulation and heavy-duty paddles for reinforced transport, ensuring a high-performance and durable screening solution for modern wastewater treatment.
