Advanced solid-liquid separation system for efficient water recovery.
High-Rate Thickeners are designed for efficient solid-liquid separation in mineral processing and sand washing plants.
Utilizing hindered settling principles, they enhance water recovery while producing dense underflow slurry for downstream handling.
High-Rate Thickeners are designed for efficient solid–liquid separation using the principle of hindered settling. Rotating rake arms gently collect the settled solids and move them toward the central discharge cone, ensuring continuous and reliable sludge removal. The system requires minimal use of polymers or chemicals, making it an environmentally responsible and cost-effective solution.
The thickener is fully automated and controlled through a touch-screen Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). The intelligent control system allows customization based on plant requirements and supports unattended operation with automatic shutdown during extended running hours. A hydraulic drive continuously monitors rake torque to protect the equipment. In the event of high torque, an automatic rake lift is activated to raise the rakes from the settled solids, followed by controlled step-down operation with real-time torque monitoring for safe and smooth performance. VEGA can supply: 8m, 12m, 16m, 22m
