Smart Sinks Filtration Bin

The Smart Sinks filtration system removes particulate waste from cleaning water so that the solids can be disposed of in a bin or skip, leaving clean, potable water that can be released to the drainage system. The multistage filtration and collection system eliminates fine matter from entering normal liquid waste disposal areas.

The latest version of the product is the Smart Sinks Filtration Bin, a fully mobile system suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. The unit is suitable for tradespeople needing to clean equipment when working in high-rise construction sites or remote locations.

Based on a standard ‘wheelie bin’, the product comes with its own water supply that is recirculated back through the unit, making it environmentally friendly. It can also be used in conjunction with a ‘wet vac’ when cutting concrete or using a hole saw; the wet vac is emptied into the filtration bin and solid waste is separated from the wastewater.

The design incorporates three disposable bags, a valve and visual indicators that simplify the use of the system. The filtration bags concentrate the solid material so that the bags from each of the three stages of filtration can be simply lifted out and disposed of as standard rubbish. The primary filter collects up to 92% of waste material, with subsequent filters ensuring that all waste is removed.

Smart Sinks can be used to dispose of trade waste from professions such as plastering, tiling, concreting and rendering, and other industries that potentially release pipe-blocking solid waste into the environment through waterways, sewerage and drainage systems.
