Sludge Gulper
... A Small Robust Air Driven Unit

The Aberlan Sludge Gulper is a small robust air driven unit which will move heavy sludge from one location to another.

The suction capabilities of this unit allows the recovery or transfer of heavy fluids with a significant solids content. It has proved itself outstandingly successful in numerous North Sea and overseas locations either used on its own or as a part of an Aberlan Liquid Recovery Equipment Package.

The simple design of the unit with only two moving parts allows for straightforward on site maintenance.
