Headworks Retrofits


Smith & Loveless has lead the grit removal industry for 4 decades with the PISTA® Grit Removal System.  Many of our original systems are still in operation, so if your older system is in need of an upgrade, we have plenty of new parts that can bring your system up to the current technology.
