Development and implementation of special sludge containers

Customer demand

• Disposing of sludge waste from a factory to a landfill.

The problem

• Inefficient & too small existing containers.
• Spill of material when lifting the container on the truck & via the top during transport.
• The rear bulk head was not watertight.
• While unloading, the hard slurry deposit remained partly in the container.

Effects

• Frequent cleaning need of container, truck, loading place & sometimes road.
• Spill of material during loading to be collected in the waste water treatment system.
• Too frequent transports due to too small size of containers.

Our solution

• The development of a new larger container with a waterproof rear partition & cover on top.
• Special Teflon bottom, so that the sludge can better slide out.
• 24 hours service was guaranteed to empty the containers on demand of the customer.
• Fitting of a flexible discharge hose into the opening of the container so that spilling was reduced to a minimum.
