Grill Cleaning Machines
Grill cleaning machines are used in dam and HPP (Hydroelectric Power Plant) structures to clean trash racks and water channels, ensuring the stable flow of water by separating various debris and materials that may obstruct the flow. When contamination causes a significant decrease in efficiency and disrupts flow stability, grill cleaning machines ensure proper cleaning.
At SETA ÇELİK, with our expertise in steel construction, hydraulics, pneumatics, and electronic automation, we provide comprehensive support and services to our valued customers, offering turnkey solutions for grill cleaning machines that meet the needs of the energy sector and respond optimally to cleaning requirements, from project design to installation.
Grill Cleaning Machines are currently the most reliable and efficient system used in dam and HPP structures in terms of structure and operation. The fully automated cleaning system has economically replaced traditional cleaning methods that relied on manual labor or simple hand tools like rakes.
By implementing grill cleaning machines in a power plant, flow efficiency will increase, and operation and maintenance costs will decrease. Along with the increase in efficiency, the investment made will be recovered in a short period. Grill cleaning machines, which do not require human intervention, also prevent potential hazards that personnel might face in terms of occupational health and safety.
Working Principle of Grill Cleaning Machines To briefly explain the operation of grill cleaning machines: • The telescopic boom and cleaning bucket are extended into the water in the area to be cleaned through a hydromechanical system. • Hydraulic cylinders lower the boom to apply a constant pressure on the grill surface, while other hydraulic cylinders lift the boom, removing the debris from the grill surface. • When the cleaning bucket separates from the grill surface, the debris is collected in the cleaning bucket.
Benefits of Using Grill Cleaning Machines Grill cleaning machines are designed to be applicable for both existing and under-construction (design phase) HPPs and dams. The system structure varies relatively depending on the size and design of the intake structure.
• Safe and Efficient Waterway Cleaning
Grill cleaning machines can operate continuously 24/7. Thanks to heaters placed within the unit, they can work flawlessly even in the coldest weather conditions. Since the machine operates in an integrated manner with the automation system, the desired "Automatic Start-Stop" timings can be adjusted.
• Maximum Flexibility for Efficient Grill Cleaning
Grill cleaning machines, designed with SETA ÇELİK technology, offer maximum flexibility and are designed to cater to the widest possible range of applications.
• Machine Maintenance
Since all parts of the grill cleaning machine system remain above the water surface, it provides great ease in terms of control and maintenance.
• Grill Cleaning
Grill cleaning machines are designed to efficiently remove debris from an inclined plane regardless of the angle, ensuring superior performance on any surface and slope.
• Flexible Hydraulic Design
Since grill cleaning machines are installed on the upper sections of intake structures, they provide easy access for personnel and a clean walking area along with an appropriate loading area to remove debris from the site.
• Replaceable Cleaning Brushes
The cleaning buckets of grill cleaning machines are equipped with durable, long-lasting, and replaceable brushes that are both economical and powerful.
• Remote or Wired Control Capability
Grill cleaning machines can be controlled either remotely or via a wired system by connecting them to an electric control panel.
• Overload Protection
Grill cleaning machines provide complete protection against any hydraulic or electrical overload situations that may occur in the system.
• Automatic Conveyor System
Depending on the investor's request, a fully coupled heavy-duty conveyor system can be added to the grill cleaning machine system, allowing all debris removed from the front of the grill or water channel to be loaded into the desired area, dumping zone, or a moving vehicle.
By choosing grill cleaning machines designed with SETA ÇELİK's industrial design and experience, you will undoubtedly acquire the most preferred, reliable, and highly efficient cleaning system in the field, backed by SETA ÇELİK's guarantee.
