Monroe Sludge Collector 

The Monroe Sludge Collector is a hoseless, hydraulic suction collector designed to uniformly remove settled solids from the floor of a rectangular sedimentation basin. Monroe's patent pending design improves the flow of sludge through the collector and reduces the chance for in-pipe clogging.

The Monroe Sludge Collector is the perfect compliment to a Monroe Plate Settler or Monroe Tube Settler for potable water treatment. The unit can also be provided separately should your plant only require a more efficient settled solids removal system.

Monroe Sludge Collector Design

• Hoseless, hydraulic pressure suction collector - gravity head or pump induced
• 304 stainless steel construction
• Articulating sludge discharge pipe eliminates the need for cumbersome hoses
• Orifices on collection header uniformly draw from sludge blanket
• Positioning winch and cable system ensures smooth header movement along tank floor
• No submerged electrical components or lubricants required
• Electrical panel for automatic control

Improved Sludge Removal From Basin

• Reduces the distance sludge must travel to be discharged from tank
• No in-pipe baffling or interference once sludge is collected
• Reduces the chance of clogging and improves sludge flow
• Telescoping arm with UHMW bushings does not impede sludge flow through the collector
• For smaller basins, no telescoping pipe is required
