The Quilton Rotor Screen is a drum screen that is used for filtering different kinds of fluids.

The screen's inlet pipe is connected, by means of the inlet flange, to the distribution area, where the water reaches and comes into contact with the rotor drum.

The water passes through the sections comprising the drum, whilst those solids larger than the size of the slot are retained on its surface

These solids are retained by the drum as it rotates until they are removed from it by a scraper, which rests against the length of the drum and cleans it. This scraper is located on the side opposite the inlet of pre-filtered water.

The clean, filtered, water flows through the bottom of the screen through the sections clean of solids and entrains the particles that have not been separated by the scraper.

The filtered water exits the rotor screen through a flanged connection in the collection chamber for the filtered water, located on the lower part of the screen.

The filtering screen is made of stainless steel and the slot is formed by the V-shaped wire section it comprises.

The scraper may be made of brass or a plastic material so as not to damage the drum made of stainless steel and its tension and contact are achieved by the action and tension of a spring.

The system for washing and cleaning the slot on the screen consists of a pipe located in the drum shaft and fitted with cleaning nozzles along its length.
