• DIRTBOX
After various trials and feedback from our customers we have designed and built:
The 'Dirtbox'
which is a purpose built tank that houses the Dirtbag and allows a much easier, safer and more controlled
environment for collecting solids through the water transfer process.
For this application the Dirtbags are cube shaped and measure 1m3 giving an even bigger filtration surface
area than the stand alone Dirtbag.
The Dirtbox comprises of:
- An outer tank with 1 No. 6" inlet and 2 No. 6" outlets with one blanking cap. The two outlets are situated at different heights to suit different applications and can both be used if pumping at high speeds.
- The tank measures only 1800L x 1200W X 1200H meaning it is smaller than a 1500 gallon settlement tank and takes up less room on your site.
- The inlet & outlet connectors are industry standard bauer fittings
- A removable permeable inner tank that holds the Dirtbag and is lifted out ensuring the safe & easy change and disposal of the Dirtbag
- A removable baffle plate which can be inserted to create a settlement area and catch any additional smaller silt particles if required, or removed to create an instant water flow to the outlets.
The image below shows the Dirtbag being used inside the custom built Dirtbox.

The Dirtbox will handle flow rates up to 280m3 per hour (1000 gallons per minute) which basically
equates to a 6" pump working at full capacity.
Once the Dirtbag is full and not accepting water at the desired flow rate then simply lift out the inner
tank, remove the Dirtbag and dispose as per site waste guidelines, insert a new Dirtbag and carry on pumping.
The Dirtbag contains all solids down to at least the size of the Dirtbag (100, 200 or 500 microns) and is
easily disposed of leaving no mess and no cleaning up is required*
No manual lifting required as the inner tank and the Dirtbag have lifting eyes for mechanical lifting.
“The Dirtbox is available for sale or hire and really is the ideal site
solution for using a Dirtbag”
Key Benefits:
- No Manual Handling
- Pumped water is controlled at all times
- Two outlets for increased water flow
- Small outer tank for sites with limited space
- Guaranteed to retain solids to 100, 200 or 500 microns & smaller**
- Easy to Use
- Removable baffle plate provides additional options
- Limited or No cleaning (dependant on application)
- Similar hire price as a settlement tank
Please call our office for information & advice
* There may be some silt particles that require cleaning out of the outer tank if the baffle plate is inserted
** The baffle plate may catch even smaller particles if left inserted
