Grit separation and dewatering in one unit Utilisation of the COANDA effect ensures high grit removal efficiency Partly reduced organic content of the grit Completely made of stainless steel The grit / water mixture flows either by means of a pump or by gravity into the vortex chamber where a rotary motion is induced. An automatic air intake takes place through the centrically located drilling hole on the vortex chamber. The heart of the COANDA Grit Classifier is the inserted Coanda Tulip. The organically laden water flowing in from the top adheres to the tulip wall and is diverted to the horizontal below water surface by the Coanda-Effect. Reduced radial and tangential flows assist the separation process and the difference in density between organic and mineral material is partly taken into consideration. The classifier screw transports the clean grit up an inclined plane where it is dewatered under gravity before discharge into a skip. The mineral residue from a plant operating under optimum conditions is in excess of 90% (e.g. a plant with appropriate pre-screening and grit collection facilities).
