Tipping Buckets
Response Group manufactures Tipping Buckets suitable for a range of applications in the treatment of municipal wastewater and industrial effluent. The Tipping Bucket system provides an economic and efficient flushing system for stormwater, primary and secondary settlement tanks. The system can also be adapted to flush large diameter sewers designed to provide storage capacity. The Tipping Bucket is designed to fill with treated effluent on receipt of a signal from the control centre that the retention tank has emptied. The bucket or trough is designed as a finely balanced unit which as it reaches its capacity shifts from its centre of gravity and automatically tips its contents. The trough is supported on two specially designed bearings.
The Tipping Bucket discharges down a profiled back wall which is bottom radiused to smoothly flush the tank floor to a collecting sump. No movable parts are in contact with the tank contents. On completion of the flushing sequence the Tipping Bucket returns automatically to its original position and is poised for the next flushing operation. The geometry of the Tipping Bucket is designed to generate minimal noise and additional sound attenuation is not normally required.
