Raptor (Lakeside Equipment)
About
Lakeside Equipment Corporation, headquartered in Bartlett, Illinois and operating continuously since 1928, provides equipment across virtually every stage of municipal and industrial wastewater treatment. The company's best-known product family is the Raptor line of screening and headworks systems, which includes Fine Screens, Micro Strainers, Rotating Drum Screens, Multi-Rake Bar Screens, FalconRake Bar Screens, and Rotary Strainer Screens — each engineered to perform screening, washing, compacting, and dewatering within a single self-contained unit. For septage and hauled waste receiving, the Raptor Septage Acceptance Plant and Septage Complete Plant enable treatment plants to manage FOG and sludge loads while generating tip-fee revenue. On the grit side, Lakeside offers the SpiraGrit vortex system for compact grit removal, the Aeroductor aerated grit removal system, In-Line Grit Collectors, Raptor Grit Washers, and Grit Classifiers. Two packaged headworks solutions — the H-PAC and the Raptor Complete Plant — combine screening and grit removal in pre-engineered compact footprints. Biological treatment products include the CLR Process oxidation ditch system, Magna Rotor Aerators — which an Indiana facility credits with increasing treatment capacity by 60% — Sequencing Batch Reactors, Package Treatment Plants, and SharpBNR process control for biological nutrient removal optimization. Clarification is served by Spiraflo and Spiravac clarifiers with Full Surface Skimming. Open and Enclosed Archimedean screw pumps handle lift station duties, with the enclosed version engineered as a BABA-compliant drop-in replacement. Trash rake options include Hydronic T, Monorail, and HY-TEC models.
