Eutek HeadCell® - High Performance Grit Separator

Surface Area with a Small Footprint

The Eutek HeadCell is an evolution in grit removal, representing the next generation in grit separation. The Eutek HeadCell is the result of decades of research to identify and eliminate the inefficiencies of conventional forced vortex grit removal systems. The Eutek HeadCell is a modular, multiple-tray settleable solids concentrator that removes grit as small as 75 microns with minimal headloss.

The Eutek HeadCell provides high performance fine grit removal in a small footprint. This allows future capacity increases using existing space. Conventional grit removal systems cannot match the performance of the Eutek HeadCell. For new headworks grit control systems, the Eutek HeadCell can be installed in a poured-in-place concrete basin above or at grade, with a footprint much smaller than conventional grit removal systems.
