TRASH TRAPS

The AFTRAP® was developed specifically at the request of a New York State DEC field officer who was looking for a device to prevent floating debris entering the Long Island Sound from streams and storm water drainage systems. AFTI, working with Davit Sales Inc., their local sales engineer, and the City of New Rochelle, N.Y. designed the system, which AFTI delivered, at a fraction of the cost of conventional drainage cleaning methods. Principles drawn both from surface containment and skimming technologies were applied to the AFTRAP®, as well as good engineering design and plain old "Yankee Ingenuity."

The AFTRAP® is designed to operate under a wide range of tidal conditions and water flow rates with minimal maintenance and longevity in mind. The system can also be used in the event of spill situations where fuels and oils can be contained and removed easily using conventional oil spill removal equipment.

AFTI trash systems utilize proven AFTI booms and tide compensation accessories as an integral part of the AFTRAP system. Performance, simplicity, and durability are the watchwords for the AFTRAP systems.
