KoNUX.PLUS Grit Separators

KoNUX.PLUS Grit Separator is a compact unit which is combining grit classifying and grit dewatering processes in a single tank with a small footprint. Optimum separation and dewatering of grit to reduce the storage and disposal costs is obtained effectively.

KNX+ is consisting of an inlet structure, a conical tank where grit is settled and separated by an inclined spiral classifier. The special developed helical inlet structure guides the flow pattern to rotate and create a vortex to achieve a highly efficient separation performance. As grit and organics content are denser than water, vortex flow pattern leads these heavier particles towards the side walls and to bottom of the conical tank and ensure continuous separation efficiency. Overflowed liquid is discharged trough the outlet connection located at the upper side of the tank.

Discharge and simultaneous static dewatering of the separated grit is completed by means of a robust grit classifying screw in the inclined trough. Separated and washed grit is slowly transported upwards in an inclined trough to be dewatered and discharged.
