Claro VortiClar forced vortex grit removal systems deliver high grit removal efficiencies across a wide range of daily flow capacities. An engineered hydraulic design removes fine grit & other debris particles, separates organic from inorganic material, & reduces grit accumulation in downstream basins, channels, weirs, & piping. The extraction of grit also significantly reduces wear on mechanical equipment.

The unit is composed of a centrifugal flow chamber; weir baffles; an energy-efficient axial flow impeller with a single, dual speed, or VFD motor; a quiescent sediment collection chamber & a choice of grit extraction approaches: airlift or high quality grit pump. Ideal for small footprint project requirements.
