GRAVITY BELT THICKENER
Our Gravity Belt Thickeners (GBT) reduce the volume of thin sludges and
slurries produced during municipal or industrial wastewater treatment.
The principle of the GBT is simple: Sludge is flocculated with polymers
and the released water is drained by gravity through a traveling filter
belt.
Benefits of GBTs
Reduction of sludge volume by up to 90%
Reduced load on downstream processes
Improved performance and/or reduced size of downstream units
Reduced hauling costs
Advantages of GBTs
Clear filtrate
Low energy and polymer consumption
Low wash water consumption
No noise, no vibration
High performance at minimum cost
Special Features of our GBTs
Center-pivoting belt steering roll reduces uneven belt stretching
Eleven rows of plows for increased throughput and improved thickening
performance
Pneumatic plow lifting for ease of operation and cleaning
Vertically movable self-adjusting plows which can be replaced within
seconds
Solid-block quadruple-sealed bearing cases reducing maintenance costs
Long-life bearings guaranteed for the life of the equipment
Rigid, non-corrosive frame construction

Drum Concentrator.
