Durable Feed Pipe
The Durable Feed Pipe utilizes flocculant injection ports to enhance solid settling performance.
Optional:
- Automatic Venturi for efficient dilution water mixing prior to the feedwell.
Energy-Dissipating Feedwell
Westpro's Energy-Dissipating Feedwell is optimized to ensure low-velocity, even slurry distribution - creating a stable, controlled environment that maximizes flocculant efficiency and promotes uniform settling.
High-Torque Compact Drive Unit
Westpro's Thickeners employ a High-Torque Compact Drive Unit to deliver reliable performance in high-density slurries. The system features active torque monitoring and automation with responsive rake lift and lowering for overload protection and process control.
Low-Drag, High-Capacity Rakes
A staple of Westpro's Thickeners are their Low-Drag, High-Capacity Rakes. Engineered to gently push settled solids toward the discharge point, these high-performance rakes minimize turbulence and preserve bed integrity for consistent underflow quality while ensuring consistent process flow.
Heavy-Duty Tank Design
Your choice of Welded or Bolted Tank Designs (depending on the Thickener size) are engineered and built to withstand harsh site climates and maintain structural integrity during prolonged, intense operation. These systems also come with customizable bridges, support structures, and access platforms tailored to your exact site layout.
Advanced Features
Optional:
- Advanced features include Bed Level Height Monitoring, Froth Suppression Baffles, and an Automated Spray Bar System to control froth buildup and maintain operational efficiency.
Integrated PLC and HMI System
All of Westpro's Thickeners come equipped with intuitive local control, real-time torque monitoring with automatic rake lift and bed engagement, alarm loggin, and seamless SCADA integration for full process visibility.
Monorail Structure
Optional:
- A Monorail Structure on the bridge (or below the understructure) are available for projects requiring additional lights or other accessories as part of their Thickener solution.
