Flexcrevator: An Innovative and Novel Pit Latrine Emptying Device Meeting the need of billions: an efficient and hygienic pit emptying device. North Carolina State University, NCSU

NC State partnered with Tri-EHI and Catapult Design to field test, perfect, and assess the market for the Flexcrevator. We field tested the device in Lusaka, Zambia in fall of 2017. We will perform another round of testing this summer (2018) in Kenya. The team will execute final testing with engineering validation units in Malawi, South Africa, Rwanda, Zambia and Kenya later in the year.

We are currently recruiting commercial partners interested in the manufacture, distribution and sale of the device.
