Good Day Betsy: 

Again my apologies for the delay in responding, I was attending the NW Food Manufacturing and Packaging Expo in Portland Oregon last week, 

thank you for your patience. 

I have constructed for you a range of budgetary costs for our screens and some information regarding flow, I have attached in PDF format the 

various screens recommended and sold by IPEC for the seafood industry. One note, we would typically recommend a wedgewire screen with 

0.020" (0.508) slot size which is smaller than the requested 0.7mm (0.0276"). All the flow data in the following e-mail and in the brochures is 

based on 0.020" slot size. 

Most of the screens we supplied to the Alaskan fishing industry have had 0.020" wedgewire (0.5mm). Only on severely contaminated flow (e.g. 

boat unloading water) do we offer the larger 0.030" - 0.040" (075 - 1.0mm) slot size. Recently we supplied screens in the 0.012" - 0.015" 

(0.3 - 0.4mm) slot size for the removal of smaller solids. The 0.012" - 0.015" (0.3 - 0.4mm) slot size is close to the smallest opening that can be 

used with wedgewire in the fish process application. 

We have sold and recommended our IFS Series of Internally Fed Rotary screens. 

0.020" Wedgewire 

IFS 2436 to IFS 80180 

160 USGPM to 4.600 USGPM

Subject: Alaska Seafood Wedgewire screen cost quotes 

to Chuck Frappier, AScT 

Dear Mr. Frappier: 

I left a voice mail for you earlier today. Here is a little more information about what I'm looking for. Colleagues of mine talked to you at 

WEFTEC last fall about using wedgewire screens to separate seafood waste from wastewater prior to its discharge. I am looking for some cost 

quotes for screens. These costs will be used by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to evaluate alternative control technologies for seafood 

processors located in certain areas of Alaska (Ketchikan, Petersburg, Juneau, Cordova, Sitka, Seward, on the Kenai peninsula, and possibly Dutch 

Harbor). 

Facilities in these locations include salmon canneries that run two to three months/year and smaller facilities that process salmon, halibut, cod, 

crab, herring, and other fish up to ten months per year. Maximum flows range from 50 to 3,000 gpm of wastewater containing large solids (heads, 

frames, guts) and smaller solids (scales and waste fragments). I'm looking for costs for screens with 0.7 mm slot size, 304 stainless screen 

housing. 

I'd like to talk with you about which of IPEC's products are most appropriate for this application and any other information you need to provide a 

quote. Please give me a call at (703) 633-1612.

APPLICATIONS

• Seafood processing - offal 

• Pulp & Paper - rejects

• Meat & Poultry processing - offal and feathers

• Potato processing - flume water

FEATURES

• 304 stainless steel construction

IFO Series of Internally-fed Rotary Screens have cylindrical drums mounted 

horizontally on four shaft-mounted wheels. The drum rotates at 4-5 rpm and 

is driven by a top-mounted, TEFC motor, geardrive, stainless steel chain and 

sprocket. The IFO/P series screening element is a perforated drum with 

openings ranging from 1/16 to 3/8 inch diameter, and the IFO/W series 

screening element is a wedgewire drum with slot openings ranging from 

0.010 to 0.100 inches. The screen is supported on a tubular frame and is 

typically applied to flume waters.

METHOD OF OPERATION

The influent enters a short spillway, 

which extends into the interior of the 

drum, where the flow is distributed 

onto the sidewalls of the drum. The 

solids are retained on the screen 

surface as the liquid flows radially 

through the openings. Splash guards 

direct the liquid filtrate to a central 

drainage area, and the solids are 

transported axially, by flights, to the open end of the drum. The rotation of 

the drum allows the entire screening surface to be continuously, or 

intermittently washed by a fixed, external spray bar fitted with a bank of 

spray nozzles.
IFS SERIES

INTERNALLY-FED ROTARY SCREENS

IFS Series of Internally-fed Rotary Screens is the most versatile unit, applied 

on high flows with heavy solids loading for industrial wastewaters. The IFS 

features a modular design, with components bolted to a heavy duty based 

structure. The screen cylinder can be wedgewire, perforated plate or find 

mess. The cylinder rotates horizontally on four trunnion wheels and is 

driven by a TEFC gearmotor and corrosion resistant chain and sprocket 

arrangement. 

METHOD OF OPERATION

The influent enters a headbox, which extends 2/3 the length of the drum, 

where the flow is evenly distributed onto the sidewalls of the drum. Solids 

are retained on the screen surface as the liquid flows radially through the 

openings. Splash guards direct the liquid filtrate to a central drainage area, 

and the solids are transported axially, by flights, to the open end of the 

drum. The rotation of the drum allows the entire screening surface to be 

continuously or intermittently washed by a fixed external spray bar fitted 

with a bank of fan jet, spray nozzles.

INTERNALLY-FED ROTARY SCREENS

IFU Series of Internally-fed Rotary Screens is specifically for moderate flow 

and low to medium solids loading. The fully enclosed compact unit includes 

all the essentials for trouble free screening of common wastewater streams. 

The cylindrical shaped screening element can be wedgewire, perforated 

plate on mesh. Screen openings typically range from 0.010 to 0.25 inches 

(250 – 6000 microns). The screen cylinder rotates on four wheels and it 

driven by TEFC motor, geardrive and corrosion resistant chain and sprocket. 

It has a fixed spray bar for an automatically applied cleaning shower. All the 

functions are economically integrated uni-body hosings. It is a durable 

construction in stainless steel for long term usage.

METHOD OF OPERATION

The influent enters a headbox, extending 2/3 the length of the drum, where 

the flow is evenly distributed onto the sidewalls of the drum. Solids are 

retained on the screen surface as the liquid flows radially through the

EXTERNALLY-FED ROTARY SCREENS

RSS Series of Externally-fed Rotary Screens have slotted wedgewire, 

cylindrical drums that rotate on two pillow block bearings. The screen slot 

openings range from 0.100 to 0.010 inches. The rotary drum is driven by a 

TEFC motor fitted to a shaft-mounted gearbox. The RSS has three methods 

of maintaining clean screen openings. The doctor blade scrapes the solids 

from the face of the screen surface. The filtrate back washes while exiting 

the bottom screen and a shower on an automatic cycle washes the screen 

drum from inside. The RSS is ideally suited for effluents containing high oil 

or grease loadings.

METHOD OF OPERATION

Raw influent enters a headbox which distributes the flow evenly across the 

full length of the rear, upper external surface of the rotating drum. As water 

passes through the screen, solids are retained on the outside of the screen 

drum and are carried by rotation around to the front of the screen, where 

they are removed by a fixed doctor blade. The screened water cascades 

down inside the drum and falls through the bottom, creating a vigorous 

backwash action. This action, together with the use of internal water sprays, 

self-cleans the drum on every revolution.

FEATURES

• 304 stainless steel construction

• unitary frame

• wedgewire drum 

• TEFC motor and shaft-mounted geardrive

• headbox, with overflow protection

• doctor blade assembly with monel blade

• internal spray bar 

OPTIONS

• 316 stainless steel construction

• control panel c/w starter & spray bar timer 

• pneumatic or cam operated doctor blade cleaner 

• variable speed drive or 2 speed motor

Subject: Alaska seafood wedgewire screen costs 

Dear Steve: 

Thanks so much for talking with me this afternoon and for helping me with costs for Parson wedgewire screens. I'd appreciate your response by 

January 20. Please call me at (703) 633-1612 if you have any questions. 

Please provide quote for costs for wedgewire screens for removing solids from seafood processing waste. These costs will be used by U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency to evaluate alternative control technologies for seafood processors located in certain areas of Alaska 

(Ketchikan, Petersburg, Juneau, Cordova, Sitka, Seward, on the Kenai peninsula, and possibly Dutch Harbor). 

Facilities in these locations include salmon canneries that run two to three months/year and smaller facilities that process salmon, halibut, cod, 

crab, herring, and other fish up to ten months per year. Maximum flows range from 50 to 3,000 gpm of wastewater containing large solids (heads, 

frames, guts) and smaller solids (scales and waste fragments). I understand that installation will require plumbing connections, a concrete pad, 

solids management (hopper, tote, or dumpster) and electrical connections for the rotary screens. As we discussed, control systems are not required 

for these installations. 

For the quote, please include the following: 

Slot size: 0.7 mm 

Screen housing: 304 stainless 

Shipping to Seattle, WA (I will estimate costs for barge to each Alaska location) 

As laid out in the attached table, for static screens, externally fed rotary screens, and internally fed rotary screens, please provide: 

cost 

model number 

electrical requirements 

dimensions 

shipping weight 

other pertinent specifications 
I've attached the matrix both as a Word table and Excel spreadsheet. Please feel free to modify these as you see fit. I'm providing them to give 

you an idea of the range of flows for which I think I'll need to estimate costs.
