The Apollo Grit Removal Mechanism is an engineered system designed to extract heavy inorganic particles—such as sand, silt, gravel, eggshells, ash, bone chips, and other mineral solids—from municipal and industrial wastewater.
By reducing flow velocity inside a circular grit chamber, the system ensures that denser particles settle at the bottom while lighter organic matter remains suspended. This prevents abrasion, clogging, and premature wear of downstream equipment such as pumps, blowers, and mechanical components, thereby improving the overall efficiency and reliability of the treatment process.
With robust construction, continuous operation, and minimal maintenance needs, the Apollo Grit Removal Mechanism is ideal for plants with high grit loads and demanding operating conditions.
