EFFICIENTLY DESIGNED
The grit classifier consists of a sloping bottom tank and a screw conveyor. The grit settled at the bottom of the tank is collected, lifted by the screw conveyor and then drained and discharged. The screw diameter and consequently the grit classifier model varies according to the volume of grit to be dewatered.
MANY USES
The Hydro-Grit™ Classifier can either be a stand-alone unit or it can work in conjunction with the Hydro-Grit™ Grit Vortex Separator, which separates grit from the entire influent flow entering the plant. The concentrated grit from the Grit Vortex Separator is airlifted or pumped to the classifier for further separation, dewatering and removal.
SEPARATES AND REMOVES
The Hydro-Grit™ Classifier incorporates lamella plate sedimentation for separating the grit and other inorganic solids, and a shaftless screw conveyor for dewatering and removal of the settled material.
EFFICIENT
The shaftless screw design maximizes grit recovery, allowing water to flow back through the centre of the helix.
LOW ORGANIC CONTENT
Sized to allow organic solids entering the classifier to remain in suspension and return as supernatant for downstream biological treatment.
GREATER RECOVERY RATES
The lamella plate design provides a settling area several times larger than the surface area of the classifier enabling greater recovery rates and reduced retention times.
