1.1 GENERAL

There shall be furnished one (1) Polytech Systems, Inc. Model 12 inch "Grit Master" unit or equal. As an option, the grit washer shall include a hydraulic cyclone and a dewatering unit.

1.2 HYDRAULIC CYCLONE - OPTIONAL

The hydraulic cyclone shall be designed to receive a design flow of 100 gpm at an inlet pressure of 10 psi. The cyclone shall be designed to operate 11.25 degrees from the horizontal. The cyclone shall consist of a cylindrical and conical steel shell, long sweep pre-sort feed entry,vortex finder and apex valve assembly. The hydraulic cyclone inlet shall be fitted with a 3 inch diameter flanged inlet fitting. The hydraulic cyclone overflow shall be fitted with 5 inch diameter flanged overflow fitting. The vortex finder shall be of cast Ni-Hard and shall be easily replaceable. The inlet of the cyclone shall be equipped with a 1/4 inch pressure gauge with diaphragm. All interior surfaces in contact with the high velocity grit slurry shall be fully lined with replaceable Hycar liners. A hydraulically adjustable apex assembly shall be furnished with a manually operated hydraulic pump.

1.3 GRIT DEWATERING UNIT

The grit dewatering unit shall consist of a fabricated 304 stainless steel settling tank with a chain and flight grit conveyor and drive unit. The grit dewatering unit shall be designed to receive a maximum flow of 15 gpm. The grit settling tank shall be constructed of 304 stainless steel plate, suitably reinforced and mounted on steel supports. The tank shall provide a settling compartment where grit separation may take place. The depth of liquid in the settling compartment shall be regulated by an adjustable weir at the end of the settling tank. Regulation shall provide a maximum pool depth of 12 inches. The weir overflow shall discharge into a launder box equipped with a 2-1/2" diameter pipe coupling. The floor of the grit dewatering unit shall slope at 16.25 degrees from the horizontal.

The grit shall be transported along the bottom of the grit dewatering unit by a single strand chain and flight mechanism. The flights shall elevate the grit from the pool and convey it under a washing spray to a discharge chute. The bottom of the "Grit Master" floor shall include two (2) UHMW wearstrips 2-5/8" wide x 3/8" thick and approximately 4'-6" long.

  1. CHAIN - The collector chain shall be non-metallic NH-78 having a 2.069 inch pitch. The chain shall have a published working load of not less than 1750 pounds based on strength, fatigue, and wear considerations. Chain link shall be manufactured from thermoplastic nylon resin or equivalent. The links shall be integrally molded with the barrel and both side bars formed in one piece to assure squareness and strength of the links. The chain shall have a 403 series multiwrap stainless steel sleeve around the circumference of the barrel.

    Connecting pins shall be 304 stainless steel, knurled pins.

    Rigid, non-metallic attachment links shall be furnished, manufactured from the same materials as the chain link. The attachment links shall extend 8 inches from the chain centerline and be integrally molded in one piece to assure flight alignment. The F-22 link attachment bolt pattern shall conform to industry standards and shall accommodate four (4) 3/8 inch diameter, 316 stainless steel flight attachment bolts.

  2. SPROCKETS - The collector chain idler sprockets shall have chain-saver rim and be of one piece construction with a tooth profile compatible with the NH-78 chain. Sprockets shall have 23 and 17 teeth . The sprockets shall be locked to the shafts with set screws. Sprockets shall be integrally molded of 100 percent Cast Nylon 6.

  3. FLIGHTS - Flights shall be fabricated from 1/2" thick 3" x 3" angle stock bolted to the chain attachment link with two (2) 3/8 inch 316 stainless steel bolts. Flights shall be spaced on centers. Flight material shall be of 100 percent Cast Nylon 6.

  4. SHAFTING - shafts shall be 1-1/2" diameter and shall be fabricated from 316 stainless steel.

  5. BEARINGS - Bearings shall be Type K pillow blocks with UHMW liners.

  6. DRIVE - The unit shall be driven by a shaft mounted variable speed combination speed reducer with 230/460 volt, 60hz, 1/2 horsepower TEFC motor.

  7. COVER - A 304 stainless steel cover shall be provided to enclose the grit dewatering unit.

1.4 ANCHOR BOLTS

316 stainless steel anchor bolts shall be provided for attaching the grit washer to the concrete slab.

1.5 ASSEMBLY BOLTS

All assembly bolts shall be 316 stainless steel.

1.6 START UP AND TRAINING SERVICES

One trip of one day duration for a trained service technician shall be included to provide start-up and training services.
