Grit Removal Mechanism

Engineered for precision and durability, our Grit Removal Mechanism ensures effective separation of heavy inorganic particles such as sand, silt, and grit from wastewater—protecting pumps, pipelines, and biological systems from abrasion and wear

System Variants:

  • Vortex Grit Chamber – Compact circular design with tangential flow for                                            high-efficiency grit settling.
  • Aerated Grit Chamber – Spiral flow pattern for selective grit removal with                                            minimal organic carryover.
  • Detritor Type – Controlled velocity channel for economical installations.
  • Grit Classifier Unit – Screw conveyor system for washing, dewatering, and                                      discharge.
  • Core Design Highlights:

    • Flow Capacity: 5 KLD to 5000+ KLD
    • Controlled Velocity: ~0.30 m/s (optimized to settle grit, retain organics)
    • Detention Time: 30–45 seconds
    • Particle Removal Size: ≥ 200 microns
    • Separation Efficiency: up to 95%

    Mechanical Configuration:

    • Bottom-mounted screw conveyor / scraper mechanism
    • Air diffuser grid (for aerated systems)
    • Grit lifting system (airlift or submersible pump)
    • Drive Assembly: 0.5–2.0 HP geared motor, low RPM, high torque

    Material & Build Quality:

    • Contact Parts: SS 304 / SS 316
    • Structural Frame: Epoxy-coated MS / Hot Dip Galvanized
    • Wear-resistant screw flights for long service life

    Why Our System:

    • High grit capture with low organic loss
    • Compact footprint – ideal for packaged STP/ETP
    • Low maintenance, continuous operation
    • Designed as per actual hydraulic loading conditions, not standard templates
