PISTA® VIO™ Variable Inlet / Outlet Vortex Grit Removal System
PISTA® VIO™ Vortex Grit Removal System
The PISTA® VIO™ vortex grit removal system provides unprecedented application flexibility and superior grit removal efficiencies. Its innovative design allows full variability in the positioning of the inlet and outlet channels.
The PISTA® VIO™ features a hydraulic vortex grit chamber design that utilises an advanced baffle system to improve grit capture and hydraulic performance.
As one of the first grit removal systems of its kind in the industry, the PISTA® VIO™ allows designers to position the inlet and outlet channels at any variable angle throughout the full 360 degrees of the chamber. This flexibility enables the system to accommodate existing site constraints or maximise available space during the construction of new facilities.
In addition to providing greater application flexibility, the innovative baffle system delivers superior grit removal efficiencies, capturing 95% of grit particles down to 105 microns.

Frequently Asked Questions
The PISTA® VIO™ is designed for grit removal in municipal and industrial wastewater treatment applications. It can be incorporated into new headworks designs or adapted to sites where space limitations and existing channel arrangements require greater layout flexibility.
The inlet and outlet channels can be positioned at variable angles throughout the full 360° of the chamber. This allows designers to configure the system around existing infrastructure or make more efficient use of available space in a new facility.
The PISTA® VIO™ is designed to remove 95% of grit particles down to 105 µm, helping protect downstream pumps, treatment equipment, and processes from abrasion, accumulation, and unnecessary maintenance.
Key design considerations include peak and average flow rates, influent grit characteristics, available site space, channel elevations, inlet and outlet orientation, and the requirements of downstream treatment processes.
