DBS Processing Launches High-Capacity Hydra-Pro Range, Surpasses Performance Expectations
Warwickshire, UK — 16 May 2025 — DBS Processing Ltd is proud to announce the ongoing success of its latest innovation in mobile wastewater treatment – the Hydra-Pro range – which has quickly established itself as a market leader in high-volume solids-liquid separation.
Originally advertised as capable of processing up to 200m³ per hour, the Hydra-Pro has exceeded expectations. Real-world commissioning trials verified by flow meter readings showed throughput in excess of 250m³ per hour. This increase in capacity significantly cuts the time required for operations like digester tank cleanouts, enabling contractors to finish jobs faster and more efficiently.
Designed from the Ground Up to Outperform the Competition
The Hydra-Pro has been completely engineered in-house by DBS Processing to address the real-world challenges operators face in the field. It offers a range of intelligent upgrades that put it a step ahead of traditional units on the market:
- Hydraulically operated walkway – no need for manual floor panel handling
- Automatic feed flow control – adjustable via HMI with live flow monitoring
- Much larger vibrating screens – improved separation and throughput
- Longer discharge conveyor – reduces manual raking and improves grit handling
- Built-in jet wash system with hose reel – simplifies cleaning and maintenance
- Dual hydrocyclones significantly improves silt and fine solids recovery
- External pump access – forklift-compatible layout for easy servicing
- HMI-controlled process – mobile tablet access and intuitive operation
These features combine to deliver greater performance, lower operating costs, faster setup and breakdown times, and reduced operator strain.
Real-World Success with the Hydra-Pro Family
The Hydra-Pro has already been adopted by major clients across the UK, including Biffa, MTS Cleansing Services, Qualitech Environmental Services, and Wrights of Twycross. Each unit is custom-painted and named after a character from the Sesame Street theme—adding a fun, recognisable identity to these powerful machines.
Performance that Exceeds Promises
“Surpassing 250m³/hr in the field is a clear sign that Hydra-Pro isn’t just meeting expectations — it’s blowing them out of the water,” said Claudia Piper-Garcia, Business Development Manager at DBS Processing. “We built this system from scratch to outperform, and now it’s proving that day in and day out.”
Available Now
With production lead times now reduced, Hydra-Pro units are available for order. DBS Processing offers full commissioning, training, and after-sales support for all customers.

Real Living Wage Employer
MARCH 2021
DBS PROCESSING LTD has today accredited as a Living Wage Employer. Our Living Wage commitment will see everyone working at DBS PROCESSING LTD receive a minimum hourly wage of £9.50 in the UK or £10.85 in London. Both rates are significantly higher than the government minimum for over 25s, which currently stands at £8.72 per hour.
DBS PROCESSING LTD is based in the East Midlands, a region with one of the highest proportions of non-Living Wage jobs in the country (22%), with over 405,000 jobs paying less than the real Living Wage. Despite this, DBS PROCESSING LTD has committed to pay the real Living Wage and deliver a fair day’s pay for a hard day’s work.
The real Living Wage is the only rate calculated according to the costs of living. It provides a voluntary benchmark for employers that wish to ensure their staff earn a wage they can live on, not just the government minimum. Since 2011 the Living Wage movement has delivered a pay rise to over 250,000 people and put over £1.3 billion extra into the pockets of low paid workers.
Director Steve Garcia says “For me it was a moral decision to pay the real living wage, it’s the right thing to do’’
Laura Gardiner, Director, Living Wage Foundation said: “We’re delighted that DBS PROCESSING LTD has joined the movement of 7,000 responsible employers across the UK who voluntarily commit to go further than the government minimum to make sure all their staff earn enough to live on.
“They join thousands of small businesses, as well as household names such as Burberry, Barclays, Chelsea and Everton Football Clubs and many more. These businesses recognise that paying the real Living Wage is the mark of a responsible employer and they, like DBS PROCESSING LTD, believe that a hard day’s work deserves
