Saniflo outdoor pump range extended
Sanifos is a range of underground pumps leading macerator supplier, Saniflo. Three original pumps with capacities between 110 and 500 litres were originally introduced to take the waste away from buildings with no gravity drainage by a pump that could be sited underground. Now, this range has been refreshed with two model upgrades and extended with a number of new models.
The Sanifos 280 replaces the original 250 and offers an additional 30 litres capacity, whilst the new Sanifos 610 provides a huge 110 litres additional capacity over its 500 litre predecessor. Both models have two macerating options – a grinder or a vortex impeller and can pump up to 14m and 16m respectively. All models feature a wired alarm for early warning of any problems, whilst the Sanifos 610 offers a choice of single or twin pumps, three phase or single phase, stop and check valve and a SMART unit as standard on models with two pumps.
For public buildings or for multiple smaller buildings, Saniflo has introduced four large capacity models starting with the Sanifos 1300 which can pump waste up an impressive 17m. This unit features two pumps mounted on a cast
iron mounting base with stainless steel guide bars. A choice of inlet height position is available and a template is provided for this purpose. Three further models – the 1600, 2100 and 3100 – enable customised lifting station solutions according to the project in hand. This includes single or three phase, alarms and control boxes, covers, float and pump options, as well as multiple connections required.
Whether it is for a full house, an extension, a
series of glamping pods or the installation of a washroom, the Sanifos pumps provide a solution when traditional drainage is not available or civils works are too costly and troublesome.
New Wastewater Mixers reduce maintenance and improve health & safety
Following a highly successful upgrade to its wastewater process, Glatfelter, the leading global supplier of engineered materials, has made further investments in mixers made by Landia.
Manufacturers of quality key products for industries such as food & beverage, electrical, building and medical, Glatfelter first sought to address downtime, as well as health and safety issues caused by an ageing and very awkward effluent mixing system.
An open-topped 1000m3 above-ground (7m) glass-lined steel tank used for pH correction was fitted with an internal propeller mixer that for

repair and servicing, was only accessible via vertical ladders and then use of a cumbersome mechanical winch - but as Glatfelter’s Project Manager, Howard Williams, explains, the problems were manyfold.
“Failures with the mixer had become all too frequent, so on top of the arduous process of having to retrieve it, it meant downtime in having to wait for it to be repaired, and sometimes replaced altogether with a brand- new unit. This had become a costly, ongoing exercise that was no longer viable”.
‘A new mixing system that was easier to manage, but could also deliver on performance

He added: “No matter how careful you are, working at height, especially outdoors in winter or in strong winds, is not brilliant, so we had to find a new mixing system that was not only easier to manage, but could also deliver on performance in a very aggressive application with pH levels from three, right up to 13. Our old internal mixer also couldn’t prevent crust building up in the centre of the tank – and when the vessel was drained down, we also discovered that the mixer had been scouring the bottom of the unit. We could see the rebars, which wasn’t good at all, so it was time for a
