Sewage enters along one side of the tank through adjustable vertical gates which are set to provide uniform velocity across the entire width of the Detritor. After entering, the sewage flows in straight lines across the tank and flows over a weir with free.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">discharge extending along the entire outlet side of the tank. All grit coarser than the desired mesh of separation (usually plus 65 or 100 mesh) settles to the floor of the Detritor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The collecting mechanism consists of two structural steel arms that are attached to a vertical shaft and fitted with outward raking blades with scoops on the ends. As the rakes revolve, settled grit is plowed outward to the periphery where the end scoops collect and discharge it into a hopper at one side of the tank.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Detritors are available in sizes that range from 3 to 12\u00a0m (10 to 40\u00a0ft) in diameter. Designed on a hydraulic loading basis, Detritors can be sized to efficiently remove up to +150 mesh grit with a specific gravity of 2.65.<\/span><\/p>\n\n                                                    <\/div>\n                                    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n                                                                        <\/div>\n                                                                    <\/div>\n                                                                                                                                                                        <\/div>\n                                                <\/div>\n                                            <\/div><!--accordion-content-1-->\n                                                                                                                        <\/div>\n                                <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n                                                        <style>.nav-item.related {display:none;}<\/style>\n                        <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div data-block_60525e617e57e class=\"ovivo-content-block block-tiles__wrapper pt-5\">\n    <div class=\"container\">\n        <div class=\"row justify-content-center \">\n                                            \n                                                                                    <div class=\"col-12 col-lg-4 mb-4\">\n                                                    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ovivowater.com\/en\/services\/\" target=\"\" class=\"generic-tiles__single alt-style {}\">\n                                <div class=\"generic-tiles__single--content\">\n                                                                            <div class=\"generic-tiles__single--title\">\n                                            Parts &amp;
