The versatile drainage containers are suitable for sludge of all kinds. Collecting, filtering, draining, storing and transporting in one device.

The well-proven skip dewatering container (EWC) dewaters all types of sludge – effective and economic.

Filter material, quality and mesh sizes specially adapted to your needs. Available volume ranging from 0,3 m³–12 m³.

Advantages of the Kugler-EWC

• low investment
• long life cycle
• sludge dewatering without any problems
• leads quickly to solid sludge
• reduces disposal costs
• removable filter basket for easy cleaning
• huger filtering surface: bottom, side walls and back wall

Standard version

It consists of an external standard container that can be transported and emptied with all common vehicles. In the interior, the EWC is equipped with a removable filter basket. The filter basket consists of a tubular steel frame with special perforated plates mounted thereon, and a high-strength filter cloth. Valves at the bottom allow continuous draining of the filtered water. Inside remains a dry sludge to be disposed off economically. Thanks to the volume reduction, up to 70% of cost can be saved.

Skip container with lid

Our Dewatering Container EWC is also available with a removable cover construction.

The lid construction is bolted to the container and can be removed if necessary. The two lids are spring loaded and open automatically after unlocking. The cover construction is rainproof and on request available with a bannister seal. At the centre there is a hose connection piece in the desired nominal size for filling the container.

If desired, we also can supply a canvas covering.

Filter basket with additional central filter wall

The additional central filter wall increases the filter surface by > 30%. As result, the sludge dewaters even better, and filter paths are much shorter. Disposal costs can be saved.

Heated skip dewatering container

All our containers can be equipped with a temperature-controlled electrical heating element to ensure all-seasons outside operation. No risk of frost.

Skip container with internal overflow

The internal overflow avoids flooding of the dewatering container in case of larger wastewater flows. This option is very often used for dewatering of sand trap contents at sewage treatment plants.

Type and diameter of the hose connections for the overflow can be chosen freely.
