ACU-TIP (Tilting bucket) from Grande

The ACU-TIP Tipping Bucket efficiently removes sediment from stormwater retention tanks, CSOs, and sanitary equalization tanks. It uses clean water to create a flushing wave that pushes debris to the treatment plant. The system is versatile and cost-effective, as it can be installed in new tanks or retrofitted to existing ones.

Key Features of the ACU-TIP (Tilting Bucket)

• Clean Water Flushing: Uses fresh water to prevent additional debris from entering the tank during flushing.
• Flexible Operation: Reactivates for additional rinses if necessary.
• Durable Construction: Built with stainless steel for long-lasting performance.
• Low Maintenance: Features sealed bearings that are lubricated for life, minimizing upkeep.
• Versatile Installation: Installs easily on the rear wall, side wall, or roof slab of tanks.
• Cost-Effective: Designed for easy setup and economical operation, reducing maintenance costs.

The ACU-TIP tipping bucket fills with fresh water until it reaches a preset level. The bucket then tilts due to the shift in gravity, releasing the water over the tank’s rear wall. This creates a flushing wave that moves along the drainage channel, pushing debris to the treatment plant. After the flush, the bucket returns to a horizontal position, ready for the next cycle. Typically, a single flush suffices, but under high load conditions, additional flushes may be needed.
