Spraybar Design

Spraybar Design

Spraybar Design

(OP)
Hello -

I currently work at an ethanol plant and am working on a project involving a CIP (clean-in-place)Hydroscreen - a wedge-wired screen used for solid/liquid separation. Anyways, the solids build up at the bottom of the screen before they eventually fall off the drip pan into the slurry tank. Operators have to periodically manually open the latch to the screen and spray it off to keep it clean. I'm trying to design a spraybar to install inside the structure so that the solids build up can be cleaned with the turn of a hand valve on the outside. Anyone ever designed anything like this? I have an idea of what I want to do but figured I'd see if there were any other creative ideas. Thanks!

In a way but not that complex - I think it would be difficult to install that in our screen. Basically instead of spraying it off with a hose it will be sprayed off with an interior spraybar, from the top of the screen, not under it. Thinking of implementing a spraybar with protruding staggered lengths of pipe containing nozzles on the ends. These nozzles will have "flat" spray patterns. Figure with enough pressure it will do the job.
