Learn how Mike Fray, the Assistant Project Manager at the Plymouth Wastewater Facility, accomplished the impossible task of restoring five clogged filtration beds in one day with the Turf Rake
The Barber Turf Rake is a mechanized debris removal solution designed to streamline maintenance, increase filtration efficiency, and reduce labor costs for wastewater treatment operations.
In wastewater treatment facilities, rapid infiltration basins and percolation ponds play a crucial role in filtering water back into the aquifer. But when brush, organic debris, and sediment accumulate, they clog the sand, slow infiltration rates, and reduce overall efficiency.
✔ Removes Brush, Weeds, and Debris – Prevents clogging and ensures optimal water infiltration.
✔ Preserves Sand Filtration Beds – Cleans without disrupting the filtration media.
✔ Reduces Manual Labor Costs – Eliminates the need for hand-raking and labor-intensive cleanups.
✔ Speeds Up Maintenance Cycles – Covers large filtration beds quickly and efficiently.
✔ Prevents Compliance Issues – Ensures wastewater treatment systems meet environmental regulations.
Keeping wastewater filtration beds clean shouldn’t be a labor-intensive, never-ending battle. With the Barber Turf Rake, you can maintain optimal filtration efficiency, reduce costly maintenance, and prevent regulatory issues—all with one machine.
