Sedimentation tank with scraper discharge system

Sedimentation tank with scraper discharge system - Efficient conveyor technology with automated tank cleaning function

The sedimentation tank with scraper discharge system is an extremely efficient and durable system. Thanks to minimal signs of wear, it enables trouble-free operation with very low follow-up costs. The system is designed in such a way that the particles physically precipitate out of the liquid and sink to the bottom by gravity.

The sedimentation tank with scraper discharge system has an integrated tank cleaning function that safely removes the dirt, enormously extends maintenance and cleaning cycles in the tank and thus significantly reduces manual effort

The sedimentation tank with inclined lamella separator is a low-wear, durable and therefore very cost-effective system that is extremely energy-efficient. The system requires little additional energy as it works with natural gravity. The dirt particles sink to the bottom by themselves and are then reliably discharged. As a result, manual shoveling out of the tank is no longer necessary, your employees are relieved and can devote themselves to other important tasks.

The chain discharge system enables continuous, reliable and fully automated discharge, resulting in cost savings and maximum safety. The system works with a timed discharge, whereby the scraper modules remove the dirt as required, which is not only extremely efficient, but also cost-effective. You therefore benefit from a reduction in your personnel and maintenance costs as well as an increase in process reliability.
What's more, you don't need any filter consumables. This not only reduces your costs, but also maximizes machine availability, minimizes downtimes and makes a significant contribution to environmental protection and resource conservation.

The sedimentation tank with scraper discharge system is used in a wide range of applications, offers maximum flexibility and is also Industry 4.0-capable. With our systems, you are also securely positioned for the future.

Properties

The sedimentation tank with inclined lamella separator is designed in such a way that the particles physically precipitate out of the liquid. To ensure this, we have integrated a particularly smooth inlet into the system, which prevents turbulence in the medium. This makes the system extremely energy-efficient, allowing you to benefit from increased sustainability of your process and reduced costs.

Inclined baffle plates ensure that the dirt particles are deflected. A large proportion of the fragments sink into the liquid due to their higher density. Thanks to our system, turbulence in the fluid is avoided, which causes the particles to settle on the bottom of the tank.

The scraper discharge system automatically removes the dirt. The system consists of two drag chains on the left and right, as well as so-called scraper modules, which remove the dirt from the system. The special chain guide minimizes wear significantly and reduces follow-up costs. Our sedimentation tank with scraper discharge system is a reliable system that is easy to integrate and Industry 4.0-capable.

The discharge system does not run directly on the bottom of the tank, but is slightly raised above it to minimize wear. A special function is the intermittent discharge, in which the scraper always runs just above the fill level. This means that the discharge system always runs one scraper module above the individual liquid level of the tank and then waits there for 20-50 minutes, depending on the requirements of the process. During this time, the liquid runs out of the particle layer, dries partially and the solid part is then finally discharged. This continuous process ensures fully automatic cleaning of the tank and the formation of a separate dry filter cake.

The system is characterized by an extremely long service life, high availability, low energy requirements and therefore reliable process reliability. You benefit from reduced energy costs and increased sustainability in your process.

Advantages

Low wear and follow-up costs due to long service life

The sedimentation tank with scraper discharge system is characterized by its exceptional durability and long service life. With the system, you benefit from outstanding machine availability, process reliability and a short amortization period, as the system works reliably over a long period of time. Its long service life makes it a particularly sustainable system with a positive ecological balance.
Low maintenance effort

Thanks to durable components, fully automated tank cleaning and intelligent design, you benefit from reduced system maintenance, lower personnel costs and less machine downtime.
Energy efficiency and sustainability

The sedimentation tank with scraper discharge system is extremely efficient, requires little energy input and is characterized by its particular economy. This leads to a significant reduction in your energy costs and promotes sustainable processes. The exceptionally long service life helps to minimize waste and protect valuable finite resources.
No need for manual intervention thanks to fully automated tank cleaning

Fully automatic tank cleaning is timed to suit your needs and is optimally tailored to your process. There is no need to shovel out the tank manually, which means less work for your employees. At the same time, downtimes and personnel costs are reduced and maintenance cycles are significantly extended.
Low follow-up costs, as no filter consumables are required.

The system works without the use of filter consumables, which contributes to environmental protection and conserves resources in the long term.
Dry filter cake

Thanks to the special scraper discharge, a dry filter cake is produced, which reduces your production and disposal costs. At the same time, waste materials are easier to recycle.
Demand-driven control for energy efficiency and sustainability

Our suction slotted screen filter module is demand-controlled, which means that it optimizes energy consumption and, thanks to intelligent pump control, only provides exactly the pressure that is needed in the process. The high degree of automation minimizes manual intervention and contributes to the sustainability of the entire system.
Efficient transportation of enormous quantities of dirt and chips - Reliability and safety

The system effectively and efficiently transports enormous quantities of dirt and chips from your fluid. This ensures reliable and safe operation even under demanding conditions in industrial machining processes.
Space-saving and flexible

The system requires minimal installation space, is extremely space-saving and can be easily integrated into your existing scraper chain conveyor. You benefit from maximum flexibility and are future-proof.
Energy efficient and economical

No lifting pumps or similar are required, as the suction slotted screen filter itself acts as a lifting pump.

Areas of application

Our sedimentation tank with scraper discharge system is suitable for a wide range of applications, especially in situations where the chip/sludge has a higher density than the surrounding fluid. This allows the particles to physically sink to the bottom and creates calm in the process. The system is not only suitable for machining processes, but also for high-pressure water cutting machines, among others.

Material: all chips that are in liquid and have a greater density than the medium itself, not for large chips and floating chips (aluminum or plastic)
Process: Honing, lapping, turning, milling, drilling, grinding
Fluid: Oil, emulsion, aqueous solutions, water
