Sand Traps
Grit Traps for Effective Pre-cleaning and Durable Drainage Systems
Reliable separation of sediments for sustainable infiltration performance.
ROTO polyethylene (PE) grit traps offer an efficient solution for the mechanical pre-treatment of incoming water. Utilizing a sedimentation process, they effectively retain sediments and solids by reducing the flow velocity within the chamber.
This provides lasting protection for downstream infiltration systems, preserves their performance over the long term, and prevents costly remediation work. At the same time, their sophisticated design and secure access facilitate easy inspection and convenient cleaning during ongoing operation.
Advantages:
- Made from recyclable material [PE]
- Simple and rapid installation, suitable for traffic loading
- Heights ranging from 0.75 m up to 5 m—or more, if required
- Project-specific manufacturing available
- Smooth wall surfaces facilitate easy backfilling
- High flexibility and impact resistance
- Various connection pipe options
- Optional accessories (covers, screens)
