Gravity thickener HR-THK

for sludge treatment

ANDRITZ process engineering will determine the optimum percentage of feed solids for the specific application during laboratory or pilot plant test work. The optimum percentage of feed solids will ensure proper flocculation and achievement of maximum fluxes (t/m2/d). Advantages offered by ANDRITZ thickeners Consistent underflow quality Auto-dilution systems Unique “flat”, counter-current circuit design Maximum soluble recovery High inter-stage mixing efficiencies Automatic rake lifting mechanisms Torque capabilities up to 5000 kNm Computational flow dynamics Finite element analysis Dynamic earthquake evaluations 3D parametric modeling Properties of ANDRITZ drive heads Hydraulic or electric drives Three levels of protection against overloading Fully automated, including automatic load sensing for consistent underflow quality Reversible or variable speed hydraulic units Advantages of automatic rake lifting mechanism No complicated rotating parts Minimum of moving components Low maintenance Low cost
