Product Description:
With modern thickeners, there is a functionality of these arms rising automatically if the torque exceeds a certain value, thus preventing any damage which can result due to overloading. The blades also help in concentration of the settled particles by simple setting which enable a thicker underflow. In this way, solids move downwards, and then inwards towards the thickened underflow outlet and the liquid moves upwards and radially outwards.
The continuous thickener consists of a cylindrical tank. Pulp is fed into the centre of the tank via a feed-well placed up to 1 m below the surface of the suspension. The clarified liquid overflows a trough, while the solids which settle at the bottom of the tank are withdrawn as a thickened pulp from an outlet at the centre. One or more rotating radial arms are there within the tank, from each of which are suspended a series of blades, shaped so as to rake the settled solids towards the central outlet.
Working Principle:
The feed enters through a hollow drive shaft where flocculent (used to help thickening) is added and is rapidly dispersed by staged mechanical mixing. Further, this staged mixing action helps to improve and enhance thickening. This feed is then added into a blanket of slurry where the feed solids are further flocculated by contacting previously flocculated material. Since there is a direct contact between rising fluid and settling solids, which is common to most thickeners, it is averted with slurry blanket injection. There are radially mounted inclined plates which are partially submerged in the slurry blanket; the settling solids in the slurry blanket slide downwards along the inclined plates, producing faster and more effective thickening than vertical descent. Level sensor are used to automate the height of the slurry blanket.
Features:
Optimised underflow density for solid-liquid separation
Thickeners work on the operating principles of gravity and particle interactions, with solids settling downwards and liquids rising to the top as they separate. Whether you choose a High-Rate Thickener, a Deep Cone Thickener or one of our other solutions, we'll utilise all our process and materials expertise to optimise the underflow to meet your needs and achieve solid-liquid separation at the desired density, clarity and rate.
