settling tank / vertical / for wastewater treatment

Metso’s traditional thickeners & clarifiers have been developed for non-stop 24x7 operations in chemical, industrial mineral and ore processing applications. Two basic configurations of the units are available - bridge mounted or centre pier mounted. They include rake and drive mechanisms and feed systems suitable for tanks with diameters in the range of 5 m to 75 m. They provide up to 2000000 Nm drive head torques.

Metso’s thickeners and clarifiers have an optimized design that simplifies maintenance. In-line, high-performance epicyclic gearbox and main motor are included within the in-drive system. The enhanced torque tower and telescopic pier make it easier to examine torque keys.

These are ideal for copper tailings and concentrates, fine coal tailings, thickening and storage of Kaoline, magnetite fines, gold/silver tailings and concentrates, phosphate slimes, slurry from FGD plant, iron ore tailings, and lead and zinc concentrates and tailings.
