Dewatering Shell

Dewatering Shells for Sale

Wastequip's removable dewatering shell, also known as a dewatering box or dewatering roll-off container, is a perforated steel component of a dewatering box that stores sludge. The liquid sludge is pumped into the container, and the water passes through while the shell holds back the solid sludge. Since the shell can easily be removed with bolts, it can also be used as a dewatering box.
