Abstract

A double screen or double-rack grate for use in the extra-fine screening of waste waters includes two rows of rods in laterally staggered arrangements with one row positioned behind the other in the direction of flow of waste water to be screened. Each rod of one row has a hydrodynamic cross section defined by a thickened head portion. Such row of rods is positioned downstream of a first row of rods including rods with substantially rotationally symmetrical cross sections.
