- Sustainable Effluent Management
The longevity and efficiency of your effluent system starts with a well-maintained stone trap. Its job is to capture heavy, abrasive solids like sand and stones, allowing nutrient-rich effluent to flow freely into your effluent storage system.
Recommended by most regional councils for all effluent collection areas. Stone or sand traps help to prevent sludge build-up, saving your pond from having to be cleaned out so often. Plus, the reduction of silt and sand will also extend the life of your pumping and irrigation equipment.
Nevada recommends going for 1 piece pre-cast construction. This means no potential leaking from joins, and a faster installation. 1 piece also means added strength and stability. Multiple soft spots provide more flexibility to position your inlets and outlets to provide maximum solids separation performance. Inlets and outlets should be offset to create greater swell movements by slowing water velocity.
Neglecting your stone trap can lead to a cascade of problems:
Reduced storage capacity: Solids accumulate in storage, making cleanout more difficult.
Damage to linings: Abrasive materials can wear down pond or bladder linings over time.
Equipment issues: Pumps, stirrers, and spreaders can become blocked or suffer unnecessary wear and tear.
Regular inspection and cleaning of your stone trap ensures solids are removed before they reach your storage and equipment, keeping your effluent system running smoothly and extending the life of all components.
Nevada slurry tankers & stirrers are high-quality and trusted by New Zealand farmers for safety and reliability. That is why they are supported with a two year warranty, and backed by customer service that is second to none.
