We Use What We Sell, Every Day.

Hydro Component Systems Trash Racks and Trash Rakes

At Hydro Component Systems, we’re always on the leading edge of debris capture solutions for water intake environments. That’s because we not only manufacture trash racks and rakes for our customers, we also use them at our own hydroelectric plants every day. Our systems take minimal time to install, are highly effective, as well as easy to use and maintain.

Trash Rack

HCS Trash Racks made with high density poly ethylene (HDPE) blades capture debris where it can be easily removed to protect your equipment, reduce down-time and increase efficiency.
