Tuke & Bell - Crossflow Grit Detritor

A rotary scraping mechanism, driven from the centre of the tank, moves settled grit through a discharge point located at the side of the collection tank.

From here the grit is discharged to a grit classifier system by means of gravity or by pumping.

The Tuke & Bell Crossflow Grit Detritor incorporates the following features: –

• Robust structure designed to resist imparted grit loads.
• Heavy duty slewing ring carries entire scraper load – zero additional load on gearbox bearings.
• All bearings and drives rated for 100,000-hour design life.
• Direct coupled drive removing maintenance intensive gear drives.
• Simply decoupled drive facilitating easy drive removal.
• Lubrication points for slewing ring easily accessible from walkway.
• Various scraper configurations available – No. of arms and No. of scrapes per revolution are possible design variables.
• Scraper blades feature replaceable wear tips that can be inverted for addition life.
• Scraper blade wear tips are height adjustable to account for tank irregularities.
