Fiberglass Stamford Baffles

Fiberglass Stamford Baffles Glass-Steel, Inc. fabricates Stamford Baffles (also known as Density Current Baffles or Up-flow Baffles) for use in Clarifiers. Stamford type baffles have been used for over (30) years in the water/wastewater industry to divert currents created by the clarifier rake arm as it turns and rakes sludge toward the discharge sump. Stamford Baffles have been made of concrete, galvanized steel, aluminum, and stainless steel. Our pultruded fiberglass Stamford baffles are lower in cost and easier to install than any of the above. Glass-Steel, Inc. furnishes the Stamford baffles with an integral standoff brace every 810 feet. Because our Stamford baffles are fiberglass pultrusions they have superior corrosion resistance and are stronger than most other fiberglass Stamford baffle systems.
