The High Rate Thickener. The HighRate thickeners became popular in the mid 1980's and are relatively newcomers to the sedimentation line of equipment. As already discussed previously Thickeners are a major component in a plant layout and occupy large spaces which may be saved by introducing highrate machines. Furthermore, they are
xvEPA United States Environmental Protection Agency Biosolids Technology Fact Sheet Gravity Thickening DESCRIPTION Thickening is the process by which biosolids are condensed to produce a concentrated solids product and a relatively solidsfree supernatant.
Apr 19, 20170183;32;RotaRake174; Thickener The Graver RotaRake174; Thickener is a horizontal flow sedimentation and thickening unit for the efficient separation of suspended solids from liquids by gravity. Designed for maximum separation, positive sludge removal and complete overload protection, the RotaRake consists of 1.
The control parameters used to maintain stable operation in highrate thickeners are underflow solids density, underflow withdrawal rate, flocculant dosage, solids inventory in the tank, solids feed rate, and mechanical torque limit restriction of the rotating rake arm mechanism. Loweryield stress muds, as produced in a highrate thickener
Yantai Rhyther Mining Machinery Co., is a professional manufacturer of center drive thickener in China. NZ(S)(also named TNZ)thickener is a centerdrive thickener which is a traditional thickening equipment with earlier application. The thickeners with a diameter less than 12m is of manual handle type and thickeners with a diameter over 12m adopt electric handle devices.
They are widely used for the concentrated dehydration of waste water and other residual waste products in metallurgy, mining, chemical and construction industries. We produce three types of thickener, the NZ series center transmission thickener, the NXZ automatic rake thickener and the NZT peripheral transmission thickener.
Monroe Environmentals Primary Circular Clarifiers are designed to receive raw wastewater after it has been prescreened to remove large objects and grit. This primary sedimentation tank will produce a homogeneous liquid capable of being treated biologically and a
Clarifier or Thickener? It can be tempting to try to do both the thickening and clarifying functions to maximum benefit in one go. While technically this is feasible, youd need a really large diameter (for low rise rate and good clarity), yet tall tank with higher side walls and a robust drive and rake mechanism.

As already discussed previously Thickeners are a major component in a plant layout and occupy large spaces which may be saved by introducing highrate machines. Furthermore, they are
Large Capacity Hopper; RAKE THICKENER. TWS also offers a range of rake style, high rate thickeners which allow for minimal feed height, facilitating gravity feed from upstream cyclone based washing systems. Rake thickeners are designed specifically to deal with high volumes of slurry.
A thickener/clarifier drive unit supplies the torque to rotate the rake arms through the thick sludge. The drive is usually made of cast iron because of its durability. Usage Examples Thickeners and clarifiers are often used in water and wastewater treatment plants to
The Conventional Thickener. Click on the thumbnail Utah and participated in a team that conducted test work checking the suitability of large diameter thickeners for both concentrate and tailings of the reprocessed ore. Arms that rake the outer circle tank floor twice per revolution and the inner circle four times and on extra heavy
HighRate Thickener. Diameters are typically 140 ft. or more with operating torques of 600,000 ft.Lbs. This is a high throughput machine designed for large loadings. Cable Torque Thickener. The arm rake automatically raises when periods of heavy sludge are encountered.
WesTechs HiDensity Paste Thickener produces nonsettling thickened tailings with lower viscosities and underflow concentrations than what is produced in the Deep Bed Paste Thickener. The HiDensity Thickener also has a lower heighttodiameter ratio, which allows for ontheground construction and much larger diameters.
driven. DBS uses heavyduty acme thread screw jacks to raise and lower the thickener rake mechanism. The Sseries drive unit provides rake lift by using a telescoping drive shaft, which lifts into the drive housing. The drive shaft is driven through two brass or bronze keys that offer low sliding friction and long life. Competitors products use

These units are basically designed to provide a large enough area to slow down particles to the point where they settle out under gravity. They may be of a simple rectangular, or more commonly nowadays a raked circular design. Grit removal and washing is commonly by means of a reciprocatingrake
The rake assembly is attached to the drive by means of a thick walled torque tube and slew ring arrangement. It incorporates a cone to direct solids across the thickener floor to increase the efficiency of the settling area. The rake blades, attached to the tubular, low drag rake arms are designed to the raking capacity required for the treated
Drum Thickener PRS reliable thickening and dewatering of pulps. The performance of the gravity drum thickener is based on 50 years of pulp dewatering experience. The Drum Thickener PRS is a simple, cost efficient, and reliable filter for dewatering stock and broke ( and recycled fibers) in a consistency range of 0.55.0%.
Rate Thickener has pioneered and redefined thickening design of feedwells, rake profiles, drive systems and control strategies to meet the challenge of dewatering materials that are often problematic for normal thickeners. Outotec experience in testwork, design, Very large
The rake arms are buried in mud, and the feed will have to be cut until the thickener has been unloaded. When unloaded, the arms have to be raised until the thickener mechanism will again turn. Following this, the pump must be speeded up to help draw down the sludge load as fast as possible.
The tilted plates installed in thickener are good for mineral thickener and reducing the height which improve capacity by 23 times. The tilted plates installed in thickener are good for large equipment and reducing the height which improve capacity by 23 times. Principle of rake thickener;
Instrumentation and Control of Sedimentation Equipment Abstract Some of the process variables that are commonly monitored on a thickener are torque, rake height, bed level, bed pressure, feed rate and density, underflow rate and density, settling rate, and overflow turbidity. Many of these are easily measured, while some can be difficult.
