HIGH CAPACITY

High capacity feedwell design with optimum retention time performance and even distribution of solids.
High torque capacity rakes.
Rake blades designed for precise removal of solids without disturbing the settled solids.
Low maintenance hydraulic drive base with torque and rake position monitoring capabilities.
Drive base lift up to 24″.
Overflow turbidity and underflow density meter options available.
Heavy duty bridge allowing for clear access to all drive components and process monitoring.

HIGH DENSITY UNDERFLOW

High angle conical bottom offers high compression of underflow solids.
Higher sidewalls than conventional thickeners allows for higher underflow SG densities.
Feedwell evenly distributes the slurry throughout the tank allowing the solids to compress uniformly throughout the settling area.
Feedwell is designed for optimizing flocculation time.
High torque rake fitted with vertical pickets allows for water removal from the compacted sludge.
