The Scotts Valley Wastewater Treatment Plant needed a space-saving system to transport sludge effectively. Serpentix conveyors were installed to move material continuously through confined plant areas and steep inclines. This upgrade improved sludge handling efficiency, reduced labor demands, and ensured long-term operational reliability.
20" wide convoluted belt climbing 9 feet at 45° from 2-meter belt press to truck bed
Self-contained transport route with level discharge and 0.9 tons/hour capacity
Powered by 2 HP motor, moving sludge at 15 ft/min with minimal operational demands
Enabled solids handling building to replace tanker service entirely
Sludge disposal costs reduced to 20% of prior annual spend
Seven tons hauled every other day to Marina landfill
Delivered compliance, containment, and cost savings in a $384K facility upgrade
Supported WTP expansion to 800,000 GPD for growing population and industrial base
