Recent project milestones highlight continued progress across three separate installations: silo systems with sliding frame outloading, the SPIROTAINER® sludge containment solution, and advanced screening technologies including FINEGUARD™ and BANDGUARD™. Each project demonstrates a strong focus on improving solids handling efficiency, operational reliability, and ease of maintenance.
Silo Installation with Sliding Frame Outloading System
The silo installation represents a critical step in optimising the storage and discharge of dewatered sludge.
A key feature of this project is the sliding frame outloading system, enabling controlled, flexible, and reliable discharge. This design supports:
- Improved material flow management
- Reduced risk of bridging or blockages
- Safer and more efficient truck loading
The elevated structure, complete with integrated ladders and access platforms, ensures safe maintenance while maintaining a compact footprint. The system is engineered for durability, incorporating corrosion-resistant materials suited to demanding wastewater environments.
SPIROTAINER®: Efficient Sludge Containment
This project includes the installation of a SPIROTAINER®, a fully enclosed solution that combines sludge storage and transport within a compact footprint.
Key highlights include:
- A spiral-based mechanism to distribute sludge evenly within the container
- Direct discharge into a sealed bin, eliminating the need for additional handling
- Odour and spillage control through an enclosed design
- Simplified logistics with containerised transport
The integration of pipework, access walkways, and control systems reflects a well-coordinated installation. The SPIROTAINER® streamlines site operations by combining storage and transport into one efficient, contained solution.
FINEGUARD™ and BANDGUARD™ Screening Systems
A separate project involves the installation of advanced screening equipment, featuring FINEGUARD™ and BANDGUARD™ units. These systems are designed to deliver high-performance screening with minimal operator intervention.
FINEGUARD™ in this project is utilised for:
- Coarse solids capture to improve downstream process protection
- Compact installation suitable for retrofits or space-constrained sites
- Reliable cleaning mechanisms to prevent screen blinding
BANDGUARD™ provides:
- Continuous band screening technology for consistent performance
- Robust construction suitable for high-load applications
- Low-maintenance operation with automated cleaning cycles
The stainless steel construction and modular layout ensure long-term durability and ease of servicing. The installation of multiple units on a shared platform enables scalability and operational redundancy.
Each component—from screening to dewatering to storage—has been designed to work seamlessly within the broader system, ensuring consistent performance under varying load conditions.
Across these three projects, each solution—from screening to containment to outloading—has been designed to operate efficiently within its specific application.Together, these installations reinforce a commitment to delivering reliable, low-maintenance systems that improve operational performance and environmental outcomes in modern wastewater treatment.
