Get superior non-turbulent grit dewatering, optimised for fine wastewater grit.

The Grit Snail® is a quiescent dewatering belt escalator that captures and dewaters the fine grit output from a HeadCell® or TeaCup® grit removal system. Providing solids output with low water content, the Grit Snail® reduces solids handling and landfill costs.

Designed to handle very fine grit, the slow-moving belt pulls solids from clarifier water without agitating the water, thereby retaining even very fine particles.

Municipal wastewater plants with combined sewers or industrial loads require greater dewatering capacity; different sizes of Grit Snail® units or multiple Grit Snail® units can be configured to match any grit load.

Only Grit Snail®

  • Separates the grit washing and dewatering process to reduce turbulence
  • Uses a quiescent dewatering process in order to retain even the finest grit particles
