Brackett Green® Cable Hauled Raking Machine
The Brackett Green Cable Hauled Raking Machine is an established automatic raking machine designed to effectively remove coarse debris and protect downstream equipment for land drainage, nuclear power, hydro power, cooling water and wastewater applications.
The Brackett Green Cable Hauled Raking Machine is a single channel trash rake system that cleans and discharges debris directly into a deck mounted gulley. The head section incorporates lifting and pivoting drive units that operate the rake skip carriage, providing a simple, fully automated operation for 24-hour coverage.
High capacity debris removal
The Brackett Green Cable Hauled Raking Machine offers fully automated operation for 24-hour availability that can effectively lower operating costs by protecting downstream processes.

A solution that combines innovation and experience
The Brackett Green Cable Hauled Raking Machine comprises a deck mounted head frame structure, incorporating lifting and pivoting drive units, which operate a rake skip and carriage assembly. The rake skip and carriage assembly descend in the guides, allowing the replaceable tine plates to engage with the bar screens. Upon engaging with the bar screen, the rake skip and carriage ascends to deck level where the wiper arm discharges debris into the gully.
opsCTRL, supplied as standard with all Brackett Green Cable Hauled Raking Machines, allows remote monitoring, Ovivo service engineer contact, storage of O&M manuals and predictive maintenance tracking.
Ovivo has been installing Brackett Green Cable Hauled Raking Machines in the world’s most demanding power generation applications for over half a century. This reliable system, which can be customised to client specifications, features the following technical details:
- Grippers available in widths of up to 5 m (16.4 ft)
- Barscreen spacing from 10 to 200 mm (0.4 to 7.8 in) and more
- Intake depths of up to 40 m (131 ft)
- Robust design capable of sustaining high differentials
- A range of fully customisable materials
