In some cases the increased weight from the solids becomes so severe that the lifting davits’ safe working limits are exceeded, leading to possible safety implications and compromising downstream equipment and processes.

System Mix and P&M Pumps, UK distributor of VAUGHAN Chopper Pumps have established a reputation for developing innovative pumped tank mixing systems. A number of Anglian Water sites at Clacton and Jaywick had the recently developed Mini-Drop retrofit mixing system installed into tanks without having to empty or clean them.  They used existing guide rails and lifting equipment from the original submersible mixers which had failed regularly with breakages and burn-outs due to heavy rag build up.
