The Bracket Green® Bosker Bandit is designed for highly effective bar screen cleaning in a wide range of applications with features
specifically designed for each application. Simplicity of design and effective debris handling make the Bosker Bandit the ideal solution for cost efficient cleaning of small/shallow, single or multiple bar screen installations. Our engineers customize every Raking Machine to site and application specific parameters. Retrofit into existing installations is simple and there is usually no need for expensive civil modifications. The Bosker has continuously evolved since its introduction in 1960 and its success has been reinforced by Brackett Green’s century of experience in mechanical water filtration. It is this unique combination of efficient design and long term, in-depth field experience that is your assurance of decades of reliable and economical performance.

Small conventional bar racks often require manual cleaning with long handled rakes or pitch forks. This approach is not only labor intensive, but dangerous and often difficult to discern in remote areas when and how often the bar racks require servicing. Inadequate drainage through the bar racks can cause upstream flooding and/or create excessive velocities through the screens and cavitate down stream pumping equipment. Additionally, once a conventional trash rake has removed debris, a second debris handling system is required, adding to costs, complexity and maintenance. Conventional rakes have difficulty raking multiple bar screens requiring either a rake for each screen or complex, labor-intensive systems to traverse between screens or convey debris to an adjacent dumpster or remote location.

The Solution

The Bosker Bandit is a manual start, automatic cycle or fully automatic trash rake system. Whether you manually turn the system on or operate the system through a PLC controller, the system will automatically clean a bar screen and is capable of swiveling 180 degrees to facilitate easy and convenient debris discharge. There is no need for multiple rakes, conveyor belts or manual handling of debris. The Raking Machine can also operate in automatic mode by reading the pressure differential or water depth to activate the automatic cleaning process. These combined features eliminate the need for time consuming debris re-handling and provides 24-hour coverage in case of nighttime screen blockage. Loading debris directly into a dumpster or trailer eliminates the need for additional handling.
