Vortex

With Vortex, sand and other high-density substances are effectively separated from the water.

Product Description

The main function of Vortex is to separate sand and other high-density substances from the water. Vortex is installed in a circular sand trap, either in a concrete or stainless steel tank, and is equipped with a mixer, whose circular motion keeps the water velocity constant for separating particles with high density while lower density particles remain suspended. This allows the heavier substances to separate from the lighter ones.

The heavier substances naturally sink to the bottom of the tank. From there, they can either be extracted using an airlift system, mammoth pump, or an impeller pump.

The Vortex sand trap typically follows pre-treatment equipment for screenings separation instead of a rectangular sand trap or combi-unit. The sand can then be transported to a sand dewatering unit or sand washer to further separate organic matter and dewater solid materials. Lighter organic matter is separated by the mixer and floats to the surface with the cleaner water to continue towards further processes.
