Tuke and Bell Vortex Grit Plant & Screw Classifier separates grit from sewage using a vortex chamber and screw conveyor. Paddle-driven flow keeps organic matter suspended while grit settles for removal. Grit is cleaned with compressed air and transferred to a screw classifier for discharge. Made from cast iron with a 25-year design life.
