Thickeners

Paragroup’s thickeners are equipped with new generation hydraulic drives, high capacity feedwells, and low drag-high capacity rakes to deliver superior solids settling performance. Along with their robust construction, Westpro’s thickeners ensure superior performance in high-torque applications.

ADVANTAGES

• Various tank construction options
• Low drag, high capacity rakes
• Specially engineered, high performance feed well designs for enhanced solids settling
• Options available for flocculant contactors and auto-dilution
• New generation hydraulic drive with high torque capability
• Integrated rake lift drive base with high capacity hydraulic cylinders
• Single hydraulic power unit powers both drive and rake lift
• Automatic rake lift system with pressure switch torque alarms
• Local control panel and PLC

VARIOUS THICKENER DESIGNS

• High Capacity/High Rate
• Conventional
• High Density Underflow (HDU)
• Wastewater treatment

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.
