Sand and grit classifier for wastewater treatment

Achieve high-efficiency sand and grit removal from wastewater streams, ensuring optimal performance of treatment processes and reducing wear on downstream equipment.

Separates and Dewaters Grit and Sand

The GRITSEP FGC Fluid Dynamic Grit Classifier from WAMGROUP is designed to optimize your wastewater treatment process by efficiently separating, extracting, and dewatering grit and sand. Its compact design incorporates a decanting tank, grit and sand extracting screw, and a self-cleaning drainage module, engineered for seamless on-site assembly and low maintenance. Ideal for municipal and industrial wastewater treatment, it achieves a 95% sand removal rate, producing sand-free effluent and dewatered sludge. The classifier features durable, heavy-duty shaftless screws made from SINT engineering polymer for lasting performance. It supports continuous, automated operations, easily integrates into existing systems, and offers customization options such as alternative motor protections and control panels. Designed with cost efficiency in mind, it reduces transportation, installation, and energy costs, thanks to its low drive power requirement and small footprint.
