SPIRAC has manufactured a 12-metre shaftless spiral slewing conveyor designed to provide a flexible solution for sludge outloading.
The design incorporates a single pivot point at the inlet, allowing the entire conveyor to slew across a wide operating arc and discharge sludge over a large area.
Building Resilient Wastewater and Stormwater Infrastructure
We are pleased to announce the successful completion and dispatch of three 10m³ SPIROTAINER® units for the Porirua Wastewater Treatment Plant in New Zealand.
The units have now left the workshop and are en route to site, marking another key milestone in the delivery of reliable sludge handling solutions for municipal wastewater infrastructure across the region.
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™.
We’re excited to be exhibiting at Ozwater’26, Australia’s premier water exhibition and conference, taking place in Brisbane from 26–28 May 2026.

We will be exhibiting at IFAT Munich, the world’s leading trade fair for environmental technologies, taking place from 4–7 May.
IFAT brings together industry professionals from across the global water, wastewater, and resource recovery sectors, providing a platform to showcase innovative solutions and exchange technical expertise.
Join James Petrovski our Senior Sales Engineer, at the WIOA Bendigo Conference & Exhibition, where water industry professionals come together to share knowledge, technology, and best practice across the operations sector.
Operating costs in sludge storage and handling are driven by discharge reliability, minimal maintenance effort, and reduced operator involvement. Conventional sludge silos can struggle with sludge bridging, limited access for inspection, and material build‑up around the silo walls—often resulting in downtime, manual intervention, and increased operating costs.
