STATIONARY DEBRIS CONVEYORS

Equipment Details

Stationary Debris Conveyors clean up floating debris from rivers, streams, and canals; capturing and removing debris before currents carry the flotsam and jetsam into larger bodies of water. Water current directs the debris into a rotating head directs debris into a hopper at the front of the device. The debris is then transported via conveyor into a land-based dumpster for disposal.

The portable modular design of the Structural BMP is used to provide a solution to floating marine debris in urban and off- grid locations. This autonomous marine debris removal device lowers operating costs by both improving efficiency and preventing human exposure to hazardous agents.

Mesh design dewaters the debris while conveying it into an awaiting dumpster.

Capturing Marine Debris with a Stationary Debris Conveyor

Designed to work unattended 24 hours per day, seven days per week, the Stationary Debris Conveyor will use the water current to remove floating debris. The innovative design removes trash immediately from the water and deposits in a dumpster on land, with no need to re-handle the trash, or risk introducing it back into the water.

The Stationary Debris Conveyor will be custom designed to meet each client’s application. Location is a major factor in deciding bed length and framework that will best suit your needs.

Innovative Technology

This system contains a floating boom that directs floating debris carried by currents into the device collection head. The rotating head then directs the debris into a hopper at the front of the device. The debris is then transported via conveyor into a land-based dumpster for disposal. The system layout is illustrated in Fig.1.

The conveyor is portable and can be relocated to different worksites. Autonomous debris removal lowers operating costs by both improving efficiency (debris removal rate) and preventing human exposure to hazardous agents. Using the debris clearer facilitates navigation and recreational waterway use, while improving environmental and human health with minimal economic impact.

This system is ideally suited for maintaining water cleanliness and usability around coastal or riverside municipalities, agricultural watersheds and harbor districts and enhancing the operations of recycling and water reclamation firms, hydropower dams, and coastal or riverside industrial complexes, among others.
