Effortless Sand Bed Maintenance:
The Turf Rake for Wastewater Filtration Systems
Keep Your Water Filtration Beds Clean, Efficient, and Clog-Free—With Less Manual Labor

case study:
Plymouth Wastewater Facility

Learn how Mike Fray, the Assistant Project Manager at the Plymouth Wastewater Facility, accomplished the impossible task of restoring five clogged filtration beds in one day with the Turf Rake

The Barber Turf Rake is a mechanized debris removal solution designed to streamline maintenance, increase filtration efficiency, and reduce labor costs for wastewater treatment operations.

In wastewater treatment facilities, rapid infiltration basins and percolation ponds play a crucial role in filtering water back into the aquifer. But when brush, organic debris, and sediment accumulate, they clog the sand, slow infiltration rates, and reduce overall efficiency.

How it works

Mechanical Raking System – The Barber Turf Rake efficiently combs through filtration sand beds, lifting and collecting debris, leaves, and organic material.

Debris Collection Hopper – Automatically gathers waste into a collection bin for easy disposal.

Adjustable Depth Settings – Cleans without disturbing the critical filtration layer of sand.

Compact & Maneuverable Design – Navigates tight filtration bed layouts with ease.
