Large-capacity 70 L Mestra settling tank — on wheels with breaker grid
Information & key highlights
Brand: Mestra • Reference / SKU: 080089
In high-activity workshops, a settling / decantation tank is not optional: it protects your drainage line, helps prevent clogs, and keeps your wash area reliable day after day.
- Large 70 L capacity: ideal for heavy use and high volumes of loaded wastewater (sludge, fines, particles).
- Breaker grid: breaks the stream, supports agglomeration and speeds up settling of fine particles.
- Wheels: easier moving for draining and scheduled cleaning.
- Supplied with fittings and connection accessories.
Why a settling tank is essential in a large, high-throughput workshop
When you rinse residues (slurry, sludge, fine particles, ceramic dust, clay slip, etc.), solids end up in traps and then in the drain line. Without settling, they build up over time: clogs, odours, service calls and sometimes downtime. A settling tank acts as a buffer: it traps solids, lets clarified water flow through, and helps keep the installation stable for the long term.
Designed for busy facilities and intensive rinsing stations.
The breaker grid improves performance on fine particles.
Wheels + easy access: faster draining and cleaning.
High-throughput workshops
Built for environments where rinsing is frequent: large workshops, pottery studios, wash zones with continuous flow. The large volume reduces fast saturation.
Drain line protection
By retaining solids, you significantly reduce the risk of clogs and hardened deposits. Result: steadier flow and fewer unplanned interventions.
Hygiene & comfort
Less suspended sludge means fewer odours and a cleaner wash station. Regular maintenance is enough to keep performance consistent.
Installation & operating steps (summary)
- Install under the sink / wash station: inlet connected to the sink outlet, outlet connected to the main drain (Ø 50 mm — adapt if needed).
- Fit the breaker grid and check all connections for tightness (clamps, seals).
- Perform draining via the dedicated hose; wheels make positioning easier.
- Clean periodically: remove the grid and remove deposits. Recommended: every 2 to 3 months depending on load.
Refer to the Mestra manual for diagrams, safety guidelines and detailed instructions.

FAQ — frequently asked questions
Where should the 70 L settling tank be installed?
Install the tank under the sink / wash station, between the sink outlet and the main drain line.
Plan at least 615 mm of available height and keep access clear for draining and cleaning.
A correct pipe slope improves flow and helps reduce deposits in the line.
How often should a settling tank be cleaned?
Frequency depends on throughput and the amount of solids (sludge, fines, residues) going through the sink.
In practice, a monthly check and a full clean every 2 to 3 months works very well.
Cleaning before deposits reach the fittings helps prevent odours and avoids flow reduction.
Does the breaker grid really help?
Yes. The grid “breaks” the stream, reduces turbulence and supports agglomeration of fine particles.
The result is faster settling, a cleaner tank bottom and fewer solids remaining in suspension.
For high-throughput sites, it noticeably improves stability and maintenance comfort.
Should I add a flocculant to the tank?
A flocculant helps fine particles bind into heavier flocs that settle faster.
It can reduce turbidity, limit odours and keep the tank cleaner between services.
Always follow the manufacturer dosage and instructions to maintain consistent settling performance.
Mestra 70 L settling tank — large capacity on wheels
Brand: Mestra • Reference / SKU: 080089
Large-capacity settling / decantation tank designed for high-throughput facilities and workshops that rinse a lot (e.g. large pottery studios). It protects the drain line by trapping solids and makes maintenance easier day to day.
Why it matters
Without settling, solids gradually deposit in the drain line: clogs, odours and wash-station downtime.
A settling tank traps sludge and lets clarified water flow through — the foundation of a durable installation.
