Thickener

A Thickener is a vital industrial device designed to separate suspended solids from liquids in slurries. This process effectively concentrates the solid materials and separates a significant portion of the clear water or liquid from the top, enabling water recycling, sludge volume reduction, and facilitating subsequent processing stages.

Structural Features thickener

    • Round Concentration Tank design for maximum efficiency.
    • Advanced Rake Scraper system for collecting and directing settled solids.
    • Automatic Water Adjustment System or Pump for long-distance operation (e.g., 200 meters).
    • Pneumatic Automatic Valves for precise flow control.
    • Robust and durable construction for heavy-duty, continuous industrial applications.
    • Low energy consumption operation.
    • Suitable for areas with low snow layers (Low Snow Area Usage).
    • High operational stability (Stable Performance).

Operational Mechanism Explanation In a thickener, the incoming slurry is directed into the concentration tank. Suspended solid particles settle at the bottom of the tank due to gravity, forming a dense layer of sludge. Meanwhile, clear water or liquid is largely separated from the upper layer and exits through the overflow. The Rake Scraper system, embedded at the tank’s bottom, gently guides the compacted solids towards the central discharge mouth to be pumped out. This continuous process ensures effective solid-liquid separation.

Construction Specifications The main body of the device is typically constructed from robust metals such as stainless steel or carbon steel with protective coatings to ensure durability and resistance to corrosion and abrasion. The dimensions and capacity of the device can be customized according to project requirements (e.g., water treatment capacity up to 800 cubic meters per 16 liters per second). Internal components, such as the scraper and its drive mechanism, are also made from high-strength materials.

Component Descriptions thickener

    • Concentration Tank: The main cylindrical tank where the settling process takes place.
    • Rake Scraper: A rotating arm with metal blades that directs the thickened solids towards the center.
    • Rake Drive System: The motor mechanism that powers the rake scraper’s rotation.
    • Slurry Inlet: The port or pipe where the solid-liquid mixture enters.
    • Clear Water Overflow: The channel or weir for the discharge of clear liquid.
    • Sludge Discharge Outlet: The opening at the bottom of the tank for the expulsion of concentrated solids.
    • Automatic Valves: Used to control inlet, outlet, or aeration flow.
    • Control System (Optional): A control panel for monitoring and adjusting parameters.
