Tipping Bucket
The Tipping Bucket system is a highly effective, low cost, method of cleaning storm water tanks and attenuation sewer constructions and can be used for cleaning static CSO screens. Storm tanks of size up to 50m can be cleaned using this system. Equipment can be retro fitted into existing structures.
Specification
Tipping buckets can be provided with a range of capacities and in lengths from 1 m up to 16 m. The choice of size is dependent upon the width of tank, flushing length, floor gradient and height of bucket above the tank floor.
‘Series 1 Buckets’ of lengths 1m to 6m the bucket are supported at each end with wall mounted pivots.
‘Series 2 Buckets’ are supported by intermediate support mounted from a ceiling or support beam.
