Sand Grit Classifier

Sand Grit Classifier

Grit Classifier is also known as a grit screw, Grit Separator which are used at wastewater plants at the headworks (front end of the plant) to help separate the grit from organics and water. Grit removal needs to be done at the headworks of plants to help reduce wear to upstream pumps and mechanical equipment. Grit can also cause pipe blockage and reduce the effective volume of the treatment basins. Grit classifiers usually consist of a hopper positioned on top of an inclined Screw Conveyor. Typically grit classifiers are made of stainless steel housing and have a high strength abrasion resistant fights on the screw because of the abrasive application.
