The Leading Grit Removal System

Hydraulic vortex design with internal baffle design and flat-floor is what makes the PISTA® 360™ completely unique from all other systems, which rely on less efficient settling properties and larger tank sizes. The key to removing grit in wastewater streams — efficiently and cost-effectively — is properly managing flow velocity entering and inside the chamber.

With the lowest life cycle costs in the industry, the PISTA® 360™ delivers tremendous value for plant investment. The PISTA® 360™ with V-FORCE Baffle™ rises above all other grit removal systems in these critical areas:

Utilizes Hydraulic Removal vs. Settling Methods

Inside the grit chamber, the PISTA® design causes grit to be hydraulically swept across the flat (not sloped) chamber floor toward the center opening. The chamber geometry with internal baffling — not the center propeller — is what induces the vortex action and maintains ideal velocity. The low-energy propeller’s primary function is to assist in drawing the grit into the grit hopper and lift and separate the lighter organics.

Superior Grit Removal Efficiency

95% of grit particles down to 105 microns (140 mesh) is the industry’s best against the true grit that causes headaches for any plant operation.

Lower Total Installed & Energy / Utility Costs

Typically smaller tankage – resulting in significantly less concrete for installation – and considerably less power and utility water requirements.

Unequaled Innovation, Experience and R&D

No company has dedicated more to successful grit removal than S&L. Decades of R&D, continual new product innovations backed by 2,600+ installations, the most of any grit removal system supplier.
