Complete pretreatment in a single compact structure

The Estruagua Combi Pro is a compact pretreatment plant designed to integrate, within a single stainless steel structure, the steps of automatic screening and grit removal (desanding). This solution eliminates the need to build multiple separate chambers, drastically reducing the required civil footprint and simplifying operation and maintenance.

With a robust, fully stainless steel configuration, the Combi Pro is installed on a concrete foundation and connected directly to the collection system. Coarse solids retained by the screen are transported by an inclined screw conveyor, while sand settled in the grit chamber is removed by a dedicated extraction system, ensuring the downstream treatment stages receive effluent free from abrasive materials.

Integrated Compact Design

Screen + grit chamber in a single structure with minimal civil footprint and simplified installation.

Stainless Steel Construction

Full stainless steel structure ensures durability, corrosion resistance and easy cleaning.

Automatic Operation

Automatic screening with screw transport and continuous grit removal with minimal operator intervention.

How does the Combi Pro work?

Raw effluent enters through the inlet duct and passes through the screening module, where coarse and fibrous solids are retained by the inclined screen. The automatic cleaning mechanism, driven by an electric motor, continuously collects the retained material and feeds it to the inclined screw conveyor, which discharges the waste into a container or skip.

After screening, the effluent flows into the grit chamber, where controlled flow velocity promotes the settling of sand, gravel and mineral particles. The accumulated grit at the conical bottom of the chamber is extracted by a classifier screw, dewatered and discharged in a controlled manner, preventing build-up and blockages in the downstream processes.

1. Inlet and Screening

Raw effluent enters and passes through the automatic screen, which retains coarse and fibrous solids.

2. Solids Transport

Inclined screw conveyor transports and compacts the retained solids to the discharge point.

3. Grit Removal and Extraction

Grit chamber removes sand and mineral material; classifier screw extracts and dewaters the grit.

Combi Pro Components

Automatic Screen

Inclined screen with motor-driven cleaning mechanism. Screen opening configurable per project requirements.

Screw Conveyor

Inclined stainless steel screw that transports and compacts retained solids to the discharge point, reducing volume and moisture content.

Grit Chamber

Trapezoidal-section tank with conical bottom that promotes controlled settling of sand and abrasive mineral material.

Grit Classifier Screw

Extracts, classifies and dewaters settled grit, enabling dry disposal and reduced odours during operation.

Stainless Steel Structure

Full structural assembly in AISI 304 or 316L stainless steel, ensuring longevity and resistance in corrosive environments.

Control Panel

Integrated electrical panel with automatic control, timers and electrical protection for safe and autonomous operation.
