Why use a flocculent in a settling tank?

An essential piece of equipment in the dental laboratory or pottery workshop.
The settling tank is an essential tool in a dental laboratory or pottery workshop .
- It allows solid particles (such as plaster or clay residue) to be separated from the water before discharge.
- However, despite regular maintenance, pipe blockages can occur due to the persistence of suspended micro-particles.
- 15 to 40% of plaster residue is not retained naturally, which can cause progressive clogging of the pipes, especially if the drainage slope is low.
The role of GypEx flocculent in tank performance.
GypEx pellets act as a flocculant : they cause the fine plaster particles to clump together into heavier flocs, which quickly fall to the bottom of the tank. Result:
- Water clarification improved by 35 to 45%
- Particle emissions reduced by 45 to 60%
- Long-lasting protection of pipes against deposits and blockages
Why is GypEx essential?
- Ecological : non-toxic, complies with European standards
- Economical : one tablet per week is enough for a tray
- Hygienic : odorless, no hardening in the tray
- Effective : limits the need for manual cleaning
In a demanding technical environment such as a plastering room , GypEx allows you to secure your evacuations while reducing maintenance.
Installation and efficiency:
Using them is extremely simple: after emptying the tank, place a tablet in the water. The lighter water flows out, and the particles are captured. GypEx Tabs are similar to a pool flocculant : once the water is calm, the particles naturally fall to the bottom.
