A clean water intake is essential for good water flow and stable power generation. When leaves, grass, and twigs accumulate in front of the intake rack, the water supply is reduced – and valuable production is lost.

 

Enerquip’s electric trash rack cleaner, Frøya, keeps the intake clear and the water flowing. Automatic cleaning reduces production losses, the need for manual follow-up, and service trips to the power plant. The result is better utilization of available water and more predictable operations.

 

For small hydropower plants, a trash rack cleaner is a logical first step to increase efficiency. The investment contributes to higher energy production while reducing operating and maintenance costs.

 

Frøya is specifically developed for smaller water intakes, delivering a simple, reliable, and cost-effective solution. It is easy to install, requires minimal maintenance, and can be supplied with remote control or fully automatic operation.
