Advanced Wastewater Treatment

Vertec Aerators effectively lower Ammoniacal Nitrogen and Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), optimising water quality in effluent treatment. Combined with geotextile sheets, they create a supportive surface for bacteria, reducing ammonia levels by up to 99%.


Reliable Performance
in Action

“We’ve used Vertec aerators for three years in Matarangi with outstanding results. The aerators run continuously, keeping oxygen levels stable with minimal maintenance or cost.”

– Cliff Olsen, Utility Services Manager, Coromandel Project Consultants

Innovative Design Features


Advanced engineering for efficient aeration and dependable, low-maintenance performance.

The Vertec Cage Rotor's helical blades optimise bacterial contact with wastewater, reducing odours and preventing stagnant areas. Floating on durable pontoons, the aerator is easy to access and remains stable in pond environments.

Design Highlights:

  • Rotor: Helically-designed blades, shaft-driven with robust bearings.

  • Floating Pontoons: Adjustable for precise levelling and designed for safe, easy maintenance.

  • Corrosion-Resistant: All steel components are hot-dip galvanised for long-lasting resilience.

  • "Vertec were great to deal with during our recent project at the Helensville Wastewater Treatment Plant. They kept in constant communication throughout the entire process, from tender award until installation of the Aerator on site."

    Charley Miles, Project Engineer, Filtec Ltd.

  • "Kaipara District Council uses a Vertec aerator in the Maungaturoto township oxidation pond. It solves the capacity problem which had resulted in low dissolved oxygen levels and there is no smell at all. We just start the aerator and forget it. It’s very reliable."

  • "We have two Vertec 1.1kW aerators in the farm oxidation pond for three years and their reliability has been excellent. They have been in almost continuous use with only minor maintenance. Using the Vertec aerator has halved BOD Levels and slashed ammonia levels. We haven’t dredged the pond or done anything to it in three years."

  • "Coromandel District Council have used a 1.1kW Vertec aerator at Matarangi beach on the Coromandel Peninsula during peak summer periods for the past three years and I have no hesitation in recommending the machine."
