Integrated Cleaning System

Proper cleaning is crucial for UV system efficiency. Without it, algae and other materials build up on quartz sleeves, reducing disinfection effectiveness. Regular cleaning is a straightforward method to boost overall disinfection performance.

Veolia's built-in cleaning system comes standard and offers several advantages. It includes enhanced components for increased system lifespan, allows for quick and easy replacement of worn parts, and simplifies maintenance procedures. This integrated feature ensures optimal performance and easier upkeep of your UV system.

Cleaning System Features:

Split Drive Nut

The split drive nut is Veolia’s innovative design at the heart of the wiper system. The addition of this component makes it possible to increase daily wiping frequency without a significant impact on required maintenance time. It also allows plant operators to change worn components in a fraction of the time than previously required.

Split Wiper

The split wiper design makes it easy to quickly change wipers without removing sleeves helping simplify UV plant maintenance exponentially. In addition, they feature reusable housing clips which also extend the lifetime of the wiper by maintaining pressure on all sides of the quartz sleeve.

Wiper Plate Stabilizers

These stabilizers are installed at the corners of the wiper plate to reduce the effort it takes for the drive nut to travel the plate up and down the quartz sleeves. As a result the drive nut experiences less wear and tear over time prolonging the lifetime of the wiper drive nut.
