It is important to note that the above information is only to serve as a typical functional description and results may vary from site to site subject to flow, grit and organic loading in the influent.
Installation, Operation & Maintenance Manual SANDWASH ® MAINTENANCE GENERAL Generally it is necessary to establish routine periodic inspections of the entire grit washer to ensure continuous maximum operating performance. Practice good house- keeping. Keep the area around the grit washer and drive assembly clean and free of obstacles to provide easy access and to avoid interference with the function of the grit washer or drive.
Installation, Operation & Maintenance Manual SANDWASH ® SURFACE COATING This section describes how the grit washer surfaces should be treated, whether it is made of stainless steel or not. The materials of construction for your particular unit are specified in the Appendix ‘Conveyor Data Sheets’. Operation in sewage treatment plant or damp environments exposes the equipment to air that may contain chemically or biologically corrosive particles.

Installation, Operation & Maintenance Manual SANDWASH ® For steel bars: - Follow the instructions on the specific drawings. Where there is no information, put welds (75run/250pitch) along the length of the bar. The welds should alternate from the left to the right hand side of the bar (125pitch). Make sure the ends of the bars are welded to the trough (fig 5.2m).
Installation, Operation & Maintenance Manual SANDWASH ® REPLACING THE SPIRAL There should be no welded joints in the spiral closer than 4 spiral-turns to the spirals coupling disc. Undo the bolts holding the protective cover and remove it from the trough. If the cover cannot be removed (due to inlet chute), then leave in place and partially remove the drive unit as indicated below, and pull the entire drive train including spiral out far enough to unbolt the spiral from the shaft.
Installation, Operation & Maintenance Manual SANDWASH ® REPLACING THE DRIVE UNIT/SHAFT Undo the bolts holding the protective cover and remove it from the trough. Un-bolt the spirals coupling disc from the drive shafts coupling disc. Remove the spiral from the trough or move it forward enough so that the drive shaft can be removed via the trough.
