Weedscreen Cleaners
Weedscreen Cleaners usually consist of an overhead monorail, with a self-driven trolley that moves the length of the rail, lowering an automatic grab at set points to securely grip and lift debris, allowing it to be transported to a skip or dump area for easy disposal.
Automated Operation
The automatic grab system securely grips and lifts debris, transporting it to a skip or dump area for easy disposal.
Customisable Design
Each machine is specifically designed for the site, with full surveys provided to determine the best location.
Versatile Grab Sizes
We offer a range of grab sizes from 1m width up to 3m, capable of handling payloads from 210kg to 1.5 tonnes.
About Weedscreen Cleaners
The weedscreen cleaner can start either through a timer, a water differential across the screen or in sync with the pumps starting. When started the trolley runs a cycle, lowering its grab and picking debris across the length of the screen and bringing it back to a skip or dump area.
Each machine is designed specifically for the required site, and we provide full survey and advice on best location, as well as the ability to tailor make the weedscreen cleaner to negotiate curves and obstructions.
We can offer a variety of grab sizes from 1m width all the way up to 3m and with payloads from 210kg to 1.5 tonnes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Screens are used to protect pumps and other infrastructure from debris floating downstream. The debris that build up against the screen can lead to blinding. Our weedscreen cleaners ensure the screens are clear meaning water that flow freely through.
Having a weedscreen cleaner at an intake is crucial. A weedscreen cleaner ensures that floating debris does not make it to pumps or other infrastructure.
Yes. ACE can work with you to design a solution that utilises the existing structure. We provide a full survey and advice on best location, as well as the ability to tailor make the weedscreen cleaner to negotiate curves and obstructions. Most of the time we can retrofit without or with minimal civils.
Once installed your weedscreen cleaner will require minimal human interaction.

More About Weedscreen Cleaners
Weedscreen Cleaners play a vital role in preventing flooding in waterways and processing sites, particularly in areas where watercourses intersect culverts. The installation process is critical, demanding careful design to ensure optimal efficiency and to mitigate the risk of blockages and subsequent flooding.
The design considerations include bar spacing, screen angle, and distance from the culvert entrance, tailored to factors such as the location and time of year affecting debris accumulation. The screen’s design must strike a balance, preventing it from becoming a flood risk while efficiently capturing debris.
Factors influencing the design extend to the clearance method and frequency, with the ratio of debris length to bar spacing determining the risk of blockage. Screen angle also affects efficiency, with some common angles prone to more frequent blockages.
Maintenance requirements are crucial, with manual clearing being a viable solution in many cases. However, for situations demanding regular clearing or locations where manual intervention is impractical, automated trash clearing systems offer a solution. ACE provides expert advice on selecting the most suitable model during the design and specification phase.
Automated systems can be triggered by factors such as water level differentials, pump activation, or timed intervals. These systems ensure efficient and regular removal of debris, especially crucial for protecting pumping systems.
ACE, with over 20 years of experience, specialises in turnkey projects for water control engineering. From design and control specifications to manufacture and installation, their expert engineering capabilities and experienced on-site engineers and divers guarantee a comprehensive solution. Trusted by the Environment Agency, Water Utilities, and Internal Drainage Boards, ACE is your partner in achieving efficient and reliable trash screen solutions.
