Water sludge treatment has long relied on hoses to evacuate sediment, presenting operators with a number of issues including tangling, disconnection, corrosion and performance failure. As a result, these systems have required constant monitoring, maintenance and repair. With deep knowledge of plant operations, Roberts created a better way. The Slyder™ was designed to reduce the amount of maintenance and extend the lifespan of sludge withdrawal systems. The Slyder™ hose-less design, combined with the Roberts' control system, allows for on-demand and automatic cleaning, offering operators a reliable, long-lasting solution.
