How it Works
Flow is introduced into the Grit King via a tangentially positioned inlet causing a rotational flow path around the dip plate.

The flow spirals down the wall of the chamber as solids settle out by gravitational and rotational forces. (red arrow)

The grit collects in the grit pot as the center cone directs flow away from the base, up and around the center shaft into the inside of the dip plate. (blue arrow)
The upward flow rotates at a slower velocity than the outer downward flow. The resulting “shear” zone scrubs out the finer particles.

The concentrated grit underflow is pumped or gravity fed to a grit classifier for dewatering. (brown arrow)
