In the year 2000 Spaans Babcock took over the assets of the German company Bormet, a manufacturer of fine screens with removable filter blocks for extremely easy maintenance and operation. This unique and patented system was brought to the market in 1990 and is still a revolutionary improvement on the conventional continuous belt screens. Spaans Babcock moved the production to its factory in the Netherlands, where the screen perfectly fits in with the range of heavy-duty equipment produced there.
Worldwide more than 250 Bormet fine screens have been installed on municipal sewage treatment plants and industrial waste water plants.
