Mestra 14 L Under-Sink Settling Tank Ø40 for Dental Laboratories
The Mestra 14 L settling tank is designed for under-sink Ø40 mm installation in dental laboratories to retain heavy residues before wastewater enters the drainage system.
It helps reduce clogging in laboratory drainage pipes, especially in wet work areas where dental stone, pumice, metal filings, ceramic residues, investment material and mineral particles are regularly present.
With its collector bag, lid and practical monitoring design, this Mestra settling tank is a reliable solution for rinsing areas, equipment cleaning stations and model trimmer workstations.
Quick Summary
Reliable settling
Retains heavy particles before they reach the drainage network.
Easy monitoring
The lid allows quick visual checking of the filling level.
Simple maintenance
The collector bag makes waste handling cleaner and easier.
Laboratory format
A 14 L capacity suited to many dental prosthetic laboratory wet stations.
Why Install an Under-Sink Ø40 Settling Tank in a Dental Laboratory?
In a dental laboratory, wet workstations generate wastewater loaded with dental stone, investment residues, ceramic particles, pumice and fine mineral sludge.
Without a dedicated settling system, these residues can gradually build up inside the drainage pipes, increasing the risk of slow evacuation, clogging, unpleasant odours and unnecessary maintenance interventions.
A 14 litre under-sink settling tank acts as a first mechanical separation stage. Heavy particles settle inside the tank while water continues toward the drainage system.
This type of equipment is particularly useful at a model trimmer station, in bowl and spatula rinsing areas, after instrument cleaning or during wet finishing operations.

Professional Retention of Heavy Laboratory Residues
The Mestra 14 L tank helps retain dense residues produced during daily dental laboratory work.
It is suitable for particles generated by plaster model trimming, investment material handling, ceramic finishing, pumice polishing and wet cleaning procedures.
This pre-settling stage contributes to better drainage protection and helps reduce downtime caused by clogged pipes.
Clean and Practical Maintenance
The collector bag helps concentrate sludge and heavy residues for easier removal.
Regular replacement before saturation helps preserve settling efficiency and keeps the tank cleaner during daily laboratory use.
The accessible lid allows simple visual inspection without complex disassembly.
Key Benefits of the Mestra 14 L Settling Tank
- Efficient settling of heavy waste such as stone, ceramic residues, investment material, pumice and filings.
- Under-sink Ø40 mm compatibility for standard dental laboratory installations.
- Collector bag system for easier maintenance and cleaner waste handling.
- Visual monitoring through the lid for faster filling-level checks.
- Compact 14 L format suitable for many wet workstations.
- Mestra quality for dental prosthetic laboratories looking for a proven and practical solution.
Dental Laboratory Applications
- Rinsing and washing stations in dental prosthetic laboratories.
- Retention of residues from dental stone, investment material and pumice.
- Protection of drainage systems in wet finishing areas.
- Recommended for model trimmer stations.
- Suitable for individual wet stations or frequently used cleaning areas.
For applications generating large amounts of heavy material, installing two tanks in series may be considered to increase retention capacity.
Instructions for Use
- Install the tank on the Ø40 mm drain line between the trap and the main downpipe.
- Check the watertightness of the installation.
- Make sure the collector bag is correctly positioned.
- Secure the lid using the locking key.
- Check the filling level regularly and replace the bag at around 70% capacity.
- Rinse the tank periodically with lukewarm water to limit odours and maintain clean operation.
Compatibility and Integration
This Mestra settling tank is designed for under-sink installation on a standard Ø40 mm drain.
It is well suited to dental laboratories that want to secure a wet workstation without a complex technical installation.
Before installation, check the available space under the cabinet, the usable height, the drain orientation and the accessibility required to open the lid and replace the collector bag.
Care and Maintenance
Regular monitoring of the filling level is essential to maintain efficient settling performance.
The collector bag should be replaced before saturation to avoid internal overflow and preserve water circulation.
Periodic cleaning of the tank helps limit odours, prevent compact sludge accumulation and extend the service life of the equipment.
How to Choose the Right Settling Tank?
The right choice depends on the volume of loaded wastewater generated, the number of connected workstations and the available under-sink space.
A 14 L settling tank is often an excellent compromise for a dental laboratory looking for efficient drainage protection without moving immediately to a larger tank.
For a single workstation or regular but controlled use, this format is usually sufficient. For intensive use or multiple rinsing points, a larger system may help space out maintenance operations.
This type of system is especially recommended when using a dental model trimmer.
Laboratory Tip
In case of intensive use with a high amount of fine particles, adding a flocculant for settling tanks can help bind suspended matter and improve sedimentation.
This can be useful on heavily used workstations where fine dust, plaster residues or mineral sludge accumulate quickly.
It helps make sludge management more regular and can simplify the overall maintenance routine.

FAQ — Mestra 14 L Settling Tank
Does the Mestra settling tank require regular maintenance?
Yes, regular monitoring is recommended to maintain efficient settling performance.
The collector bag should be replaced when it reaches around 70% capacity to avoid saturation and preserve water circulation.
Can it be used for ceramic or investment residues?
Yes, the tank is designed to retain various heavy laboratory residues such as dental stone, pumice, ceramic particles, investment residues and mineral sludge.
For very intensive use, an additional filtration or settling solution may be considered depending on the laboratory setup.
How is the tank installed under the sink?
It is installed on a Ø40 mm drain pipe, generally between the trap and the main drainage line.
Before installation, check the available under-sink space, access to the lid and the correct orientation of the drainage system.
Is this model suitable for a model trimmer station?
Yes, this type of settling tank is particularly relevant for a model trimmer station or any wet workstation that regularly produces mineral sludge.
It helps retain heavy particles before wastewater reaches the drainage network and contributes to safer laboratory operation.
When should you choose a 14 L tank rather than a larger model?
A 14 litre settling tank is well suited to a single workstation or regular use with a controlled amount of loaded wastewater.
For continuous intensive use or several connected rinsing points, a larger tank may help increase retention capacity and reduce maintenance frequency.
Can a flocculant be used with this settling tank?
Yes, using a flocculant for settling tanks can help bind fine particles and improve sedimentation.
This can be useful on highly active workstations producing large quantities of plaster dust, mineral sludge or fine suspended matter.
Why choose the Mestra 14 L settling tank?
The Mestra 14 L settling tank is a practical choice for dental laboratories looking for a recognised brand, simple maintenance and reliable under-sink wastewater protection.
Its compact 14 L format, collector bag and visual monitoring make it a reassuring solution for wet workstations used every day.
