What is a sludge thickener?

Sludge thickener is also called belt press or belt mud dehydrator, is widely used in both domestic and abroad market for its excellent performance and low investment & costs.

Our sludge thickener embodies all the recognized principles of good sludge drying machine design. It is simple, reliable and easy to operate. The design has sufficient flexibility to accommodate nearly all types of sludges which are likely to be generated in a treatment facility.

All components are rugged, heavy-duty industrial quality suited for continuous 24 hr./day, 7 day/wk. service.  We are professional manufacturer in manufacturing and designing of sludge thickener since year 2006.

 Working principle of sludge thickener WDY Series:

Free water and sludge is fully separated at gravity dewatering zone and then enter into 3-stage pressure dewatering zone---pre-pressure rollers, low pressure rollers and high pressure rollers.

Sludge is gradually dewatered under pressure and is discharged as sludge cake. Sludge thickener is your ideal choice for sludge dewatering.

Uses of sludge thickener:

Sludge thickener is mainly used for sludge dewatering in municipal sewage treatment plants, pharmaceutical industry, electroplating industry, paper industry, leather industry, printing and dyeing industry, metallurgy industry, chemical industry, slaughter industry, food industry, wine manufacturing factory and environmental engineering plants.

Also sludge thickener can be used for solid-liquid separation and resource recovery in industrial production, like:

• In steel plants: Dewater and recycle iron powder.
• In wineries: solid-liquid separation from vinasse.
• In stone factories: Dewater and recycle stone powder.

Product features of sludge thickener:

• Fully automatic, save labor.
• Small vibration and low noise.
• Excellent performance with very small footprint.
• Adaptable for nearly all types of sludges, high efficiency with large treatment capacity.
• Dewatering happens in several zone one by one with high dewatering efficiency, sludge cake moisture content is much low.
• Sludge thickener can run continuously around the clock, and can automatically backwash, easy to maintain.
• Low energy consumption and low running costs.
• Filter belt deviation can be automatically calibrated, more safe. 
• Strong technical team and strict final inspections ensure excellent quality and long service life of our sludge thickener.
