Hydrorake System FAQ | Hydrorake System Features & Benefits
Backed by Atlas Polar's engineering experience and over 300 installations across North America, the Atlas Polar Hydrorake has proven reliable and efficient. Installation is relatively simple as production units are engineered for existing and new sites. With two standard models to choose from and specialized units available, the Atlas Polar Hydrorake provides the utmost in flexibility regardless of the application.
Flexible Hydrorake Design
Upstream installation provides clear deck
for depositing debris and personnel access
Cantilever supports allow the Hydrorake installation on any width structure. Units require little, if any, reinforcement of the original deck
There is minimal deck loading with this automatic system
Equipment Maintenance
All moving parts remain above the surface
of the water for easy inspection or maintenance
Units come complete with a comprehensive manual that outlines all the essentials, including: system operation, maintenance schedule, troubleshooting guide, and parts lists.
Intake Racks
Effective raking is achieved on various bar spacings and
inclines.
Replaceable Scraping Bar on Rakes
The rake head on each unit
has a cost-saving replaceable teflon scraping
bar.
Modes of Operation
The Atlas Polar Hydrorake
is a fully automated system with a built-in
manual override. It is capable of continuous
operation, timed start operation and remote
initiation.
A shallow raking depth is available when the majority of debris is floating. This alternate raking action can increase the speed of operation.
Biodegradable Hydraulic Oil
Hydrorake system uses an environmentally safe oil designed for marine applications.
Hand Held Remote Control
The control panel can be bypassed with the use of a lightweight hand held pendant station.
Fish Screen Facilities
The hydrorake effectively cleans narrow gauge stainless steel screens used in fishery facilities.
Heaters on all systems
Heaters built into the electrical, hydraulic, and boom systems permit cold weather operation.
Overload Protection
The complete Hydrorake system is protected against electrical and hydraulic overload conditions.
Remote Contacts
Control panel contacts available for remote emergency alarm and status indicators.
Automatic Transporter Conveyor Systems
The fully integrated transporter spillway automatically moves all raked debris to a suitable dump location at either end of the intake.
Multiple Unit Operation
Allows two or more units to work together to effectively clean racks on sites with extra wide intakes and heavy debris conditions.
