Passavant®

Surface Aerator Mammutrotor®

Reliable and efficient oxygen enrichment with effective
matter distribution and activated sludge circulation – as a
basis for the optimal activity of microorganisms and thus a
particularly good extraction of pollutants in biological waste-
water treatment systems.

With the Passavant ® Surface

Aerator Mammutrotor ®,
Aqseptence Group offers you
an universal solution which
has been especially developed
for aeration, circulation and stir
mixing processes. More than
8,500 installations with a total
length of approximately 52 km
have meanwhile been deplo-
yed worldwide and the
Mammutrotor ® has become the
byword for economic and relia-
ble surface aeration.

Design features The core of the system is the
actual aeration rotor, a central
shaft with clamped star moun-
tings made of glass-fibre rein-
forced plastic. Their slightly
spiralled arrangement ensures
low-noise, shock-free operati-
on.

The drive unit and the end

bearing are equally import-
ant for the provision of stable
low-maintenance operations
over the course of many ye-
ars. The system is, therefore,
driven by a straight bevel
gear with a three phase mo-
tor. The gear unit – just as
the end bearing – have been
tailor-made by Passavant ® for
this particularly challenging
field of application and suc-
cessfully employed in conjun-
ction with the Mammutrotor ®
for many years.
