Purpose and Function
A sand trap directs incoming flow through an internal chamber arrangement that slows velocity and allows heavier materials to settle. This helps prevent abrasion, clogging, and premature wear in downstream components. Each unit is constructed for stable, long term service and is tested prior to shipment to ensure proper operation.
Standard Features
Sand traps from MWT include a durable steel body, interior and exterior protective coatings, and a cover designed to support typical site loading conditions. Orientation and connection locations follow a standard layout to simplify installation and integration with existing systems. Each unit is tested in the shop to confirm performance before delivery.
