Transport of Grit
Reliable conveying technology for grit and mineral solids
Grit is separated by sedimentation in grit chambers during wastewater treatment.
The grit settling at the bottom of the grit chamber is then removed – usually discontinuously – from the grit chamber.
Grit Feeding and Conveying
HUBER offers different designs of grit traps for grit separation.
All HUBER grit traps are equipped with an appropriate conveyor so that the separated grit can be discharged into a container or passed to further treatment in a grit washing plant. Depending on the grit chamber design, either grit discharge pumps or screw conveyors are used for grit removal.
HUBER can also supply tailor-made screw conveyors for operationally reliable grit transport in concrete grit chambers.
Feeding of grit processing plants
For feeding the material to HUBER grit treatment plants, HUBER offers storage tanks with discharge screws. The mineral material to be processed is temporarily stored in the tank and fed to the grit processing plant by a screw conveyor.
The HUBER storage tanks can be installed above or below ground and can optionally be equipped with a debris separator and/or dewatering unit.
