The TurboStat sidehill static screen is one of the simplest and most economical methods for solids separation. All units feature a stainless steel wedge wire filtration surface. The working principle is based on a liquid current circulating over the screen's curved surface. This surface, made up of long triangular metal bars (wedgewire), provides a sequence of edges for cutting the flow, allowing the free liquid to drain through the reduced slot openings while retaining the screened solids at the base of the screen.

Optional Equipment
TurboWash™ agitator can be added to the influent opening of the TurboStat, creating a highly turbulent mixing regime. The turbulent zone of influence created by the TurboWash" agitator loosens and emulsifies the organic BOD material attached to the screenings allowing the soluble and fine particulate BOD material to pass through the screen openings, providing a compact, efficient piece of equipment.
