Slot drains are a great solution for many kinds of drainage system needs. You can use them for walkways, around pool surrounds, at the edges of garden beds and in manufacturing settings. Picking the right size drain can make all the difference to your drainage system performance and slot drains are a great way to remove liquid wastes without pulling debris and other items into the water at the same time. These drains will keep a large amount of the debris that clogs drains from being introduced into your drainage system.
In manufacturing settings, these drains are perfect for walkways and areas that need to be kept free of water but might also cause issues with debris getting into the drains and clogging them. You can sweep across the top of these kinds of drains, or mop over them and there will be few issues with debris or junk getting into the drainage system to become an issue in another location. Even floor cleaning units will be able to pass over these drains with ease and will not have trouble cleaning the flooring space around the drain slot.
These drains are also very effective along paths and walkways, where slotted drains might cause tripping hazards for people. If you have an area that needs access to a high level of drainage that can withstand a lot of weight passing over it, these are often the right kinds of drains for this need as well.
Slot drains can be made in many different materials to withstand all kinds of levels of traffic. If you have to drive large machines or cars over your drainage system, a slot drain can be the right choice for this part of your drainage system needs.
These drains are commonly used at industrial sites as well as airports and seaports to prevent tripping and slipping hazards while also handling large volumes of water. You might not even know that you are walking across one of these drains because they are so discreet and often appear to be seams in the concrete or other walkway surface.
This is really ideal if you have business people walking across the area in question where heeled shoes might get caught in a traditional drain or if you are wanting to be sure that people can wheel bags or suitcases without impediment.
You can choose to have your slot drain made in any kind of material that is needed for the kind of wastes that you are dealing with on a daily basis. If you have caustic or chemical wastes that need to be drained or cleaned off of a walkway or work area, you can elect to use slotted drains that are made of durable materials that will not corrode or fall apart when exposed to these chemicals.
