Harvest Rake
Mechanically Cleaned Bar Screens
A unique solution to manage high volumes of aquatic vegetation for algae harvesting and nutrient removal.
Introducing the Duperon Harvest Rake
The Harvest Rake is an example of applying Duperon innovation to a unique need. It is specifically designed to manage high volumes of aquatic vegetation for algae harvesting and nutrient removal. It can also effectively remove large mats of long debris in open channel applications. The Harvest Rake offers a solution for sites that have side currents, backflow, or channel turbulence with the same flexibility, ease of operation, and simplicity expected from Duperon products.
Applications:
- Intakes for rivers with strong side currents
- Estuary protection
- Fish farming
- Algae harvesting
- Post–treatment for algae harvesting
- Nitrogen and phosphorus removal
The Duperon®
Difference
The Duperon®
Harvest Rake
Simple operation
Front-clean, rear-return design with robust lifting capacity removes upstream debris without having to penetrate through a debris mat without shutdown.
Effective discharge
Uses the weight and mass of long stringy debris to simply roll off and self-discharge, eliminating the need for mechanical devices that can be problematic with aquatic debris. The discharge rate is designed to match process requirements.
Achieves harvesting or nutrient removal objectives
Designed to move matted aquatic vegetation that spans multiple scrapers (ie. long, stringy strands of algae or sheets of matted vegetation) for fish farming, algae harvesting, estuary protection and similar applications.
Duperon innovation
Nearly 40 years of partnering with our customers to solve their unique needs.
Description
The Harvest Rake is ideal for open channel applications with debris that may be long, stringy, or matted in clumps, such as vegetation or rags. Front-clean, rear-return technology utilizes proven FlexLink™ technology to assure effective debris capture without entanglement or wrapping.
