This is a sludge collector with a simple structure and a different concept to the methods that have been the mainstream up to now. Collecting flights equipped with scraping blades are placed on the center rail attached to the bottom of the sedimentation tank and driven back and forth by a drive unit via a link chain.
Summary of structure
In this device, the blade carrier equipped with sludge collecting blades shuttles on a rail installed on the basin.
First, the drive unit begins forward rotation to lower the scraping blades. Then the blade carrier moves towards the pit, collecting the sludge.
At the return, the blade carrier moves backwards, after turned up the blades.
High performance for sludge collection
♦ As Collecting blades designed to match the tank bottom, very few sludge is remained.
♦ Excellent sludge collecting performance enables Intermittent driving.
♦ It is possible to adapt design to the automatic sludge collection on/off operation through the turbidity or suspended solid concentration loading of the inlet raw water.
