A solution that combines innovation and experience
The Brackett Green Cable Hauled Raking Machine comprises a deck mounted head frame structure, incorporating lifting and pivoting drive units, which operate a rake skip and carriage assembly. The rake skip and carriage assembly descend in the guides, allowing the replaceable tine plates to engage with the bar screens. Upon engaging with the bar screen, the rake skip and carriage ascends to deck level where the wiper arm discharges debris into the gully.
opsCTRL, supplied as standard with all Brackett Green Cable Hauled Raking Machines, allows remote monitoring, Ovivo service engineer contact, storage of O&M manuals and predictive maintenance tracking.
