During the construction phase of anaerobic digestion plants, but also during operation and retrofitting, safe access to the inside of the tank via a manhole must be ensured. The entry and exit of people, material and equipment through the side walls is necessary. The side chute ensures quick opening and closing of the chute lid by means of a spindle lock and additional sealing on the inside by liquid pressure. The inside is curved to ensure that no mud particles or other solids stick to it.

Manhole opening laterally outward
The side chute ensures easy and quick opening and closing of the chute lid by means of a handle. Its curved inner surface prevents slurry particles or other solids from settling on it. The side shafts are available with clear diameters from 606 mm -1274 mm. The frame length is individually adjustable.
Our side shafts are made entirely of stainless steel 1.4571 and are suitable for hydrostatic pressures up to approx. 4 bar.

Manhole roof
A sufficiently large and easy to open/close opening is required for performing repair and inspection work and for transporting bulky equipment into and out of aerobic digesters. The roof shaft is a robust and cost-effective shaft construction for this purpose. Our roof shaft is available in four different standard diameters – also in special sizes according to customer requirements. As a rule, stainless steel 1.4571 is used as the material for the roof shafts, and NBR round cord is used as the seal.
