Siltbuster is one of the UK's largest suppliers of high-performance and rapidly deployable mobile lamella settlement units (also known as lamella clarifiers or settlement tanks), for the effective continuous removal and storage of solids once held suspended within water – responsible for their dirty and discoloured appearance.

If used at their typical operating range under gravity alone, the units are capable of capturing 95% of mineral-based silica particles down to 18 microns in diameter; along with a small proportion of the finer sized fractions in suspension.

With over 20 years of experience in the field, backed up by a team of engineers and scientists, Siltbuster's lamella settlement units cover a wide range of applications across numerous sectors, including construction, industrial, municipal and mining, either as a stand-alone solution or as part of the company's plug-and-play modular systems.

Available in a variety of sizes, all have a large treatment capacity and effective settlement area within a relatively small footprint due to the innovative and efficient utilisation of inclined lamella plates. Being fully modular in design, they can be linked in parallel together for larger flows or as part of a Siltbuster modular system, creating fully flexible solutions that can cope with great treatment variations within each application.
