The Smart Sinks Filtration Bin has been launched to handle waste more efficiently in industrial settings.

It is ideal for tradespeople needing to clean equipment when working in high-rise construction sites or remote locations.

Based on a standard 'wheelie bin', it comes with its own water supply that is recirculated back through the unit.

A wet vac can be emptied into the Smart Sinks Filtration Bin, with solid waste separated from the waste water.

In order for the Smart Sinks sediment filtration system to be patented, the design incorporates three disposable bags, a valve, and visual indicators that simplify the use of the system.

The filtration bags concentrate the solid material so that the bags from each of the three stages of filtrations can be lifted out and disposed of as standard rubbish.

The primary filter collects up to 92 per cent of waste material, with subsequent filters ensuring all waste is removed.

Smart Sinks can be used to dispose of trade waste from professions such as plastering, tiling, concreting and rendering, and other industries that potentially release pipe blocking solid waste into the environment through waterways, sewerage and drainage systems.

Blocked pipes are expensive to maintain and can cause lost productivity and costly repairs when associated cabinetry is damaged.

Other models available range from a standard 450mm built-in bench top unit through to various stand alone modules for use in laboratory applications and workplace situations.
