Grit Classifier

SIMECO’s SGC grit classifier is a machine for solid liquid separation used to remove grit from water. It is commonly used to treat grit coming from a movable bridge or an air-lift system. SIMECO’s grit classifier consist of a shaftless screw conveyor provided with a big sedimentation hopper, including inlet / outlet flanged spouts. Inside the machine, a special designed baffle system allows the water to follow a precise path to increase the sedimentation performance. The settled grit accumulates at the bottom of the hopper and is removed by a shaftless screw conveyor. The trough of the extraction screw is protected by a wear-resistant coating HDPE or in bars of stainless steel. The main manufacturing features of Simeco’s SGC are: Screw: high strength carbon steel or stainless steel AISI 304 or 316 Structure: stainless steel AISI 304 or 316 Trough Protection: HDPE liner or bolted stainless steel wearing bars. Inlet Flow Rate: up to 100 m3/h Upon request the unit can be supplied provided with a control panel, which can be electromechanical or PLC controlled.
