Grit Classifier
A secondary device that cleans and dewaters grit.

The Grit Classifier is used to separate and dewater the concentrated grit underflow from the Grit King^®. Underflow is introduced into the Grit Classifier where the sand and grit particles settle to the base of the pool area. The settled grit is then transported via a screw conveyor up an inclined trough for disposal into a dumpster.

Organic solids, which remain in suspension, are discharged over a weir and continue on for further treatment. The Grit Classifier is capable of producing dry grit with low organic content suitable for landfill disposal. The Grit Classifier flows range from 100 to 400 GPM.
