Brackett Bosker® bandit automatic trashrakes and weedscreens are compact, powerful machines with an extendible rotating arm.

They are suitable for small, often remote, water or wastewater intakes, such as culverts and land drainage systems, which might have previously relied on manual clearing methods.

Brackett Bosker bandit automatic trashrakes can be easily retrofitted into existing intakes and can be operated either by a pre-programmed cycle, manual activation or level differential. The latter option is particularly useful for dealing with the unexpected volumes of debris caused by severe seasonal conditions.

Brackett Bosker bandit automatic trashrakes can also be successfully applied to alternative sites, including river intakes and sewage treatment plants. In these installations the rake’s grab can be manufactured in different materials according to the nature of the effluent, including hot-dipped galvanized mild steel, stainless steel or non-sparkling aluminium bronze for particular sewage applications.

Stainless steel, with special coatings to enhance its non-corrosive properties, is commonly used for saltwater environments in the Middle East.
