Trash Rake Systems

Mecan-Hydro’s trash rake systems are designed to remove debris that accumulates on trash racks and restricts water flow. By keeping intake racks clean, trash rakes reduce head losses and help restore optimal hydraulic conditions, directly improving power generation and short-term return on investment.

Designed to accommodate a wide range of debris types and site configurations, Mecan-Hydro trash rakes are available in various sizes and can be operated either manually or in fully automated mode, depending on operational requirements.
