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.

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.
