Radial Scraper Ekoton is a high-tech equipment designed to remove sediment from the bottom and floating substances from the surface of the water in radial settling tanks.
Operation principle and advantages of the EKOTON’s sludge scrapers
Based on the process of sedimentation of wastewater. Insoluble impurities settle at the bottom of the settling tank, and light floating substances float to the surface. Sediment from the bottom of the settling tank is removed by the bottom scrapers.
Sludge scrapers are designed as a single functional complex of equipment: a bridge truss, a platform, scraper vanes with scrapers, a geared trolley.
EKOTON Industrial Group produces settling tanks with diameters of 16, 18, 24, 28, 30, 40, 50 and 54 m. It is possible to manufacture equipment of non-standard diameters.
The access to the central part of the sludge scraper is provided by a bridge truss. It’s high strength has been achieved by a special construction shape, and it weighs significantly less than constructions of other manufacturers.
When replacing obsolete equipment, Sludge Scraper is installed in the existing settling tanks. There is no need to rework the structural base of the concrete bowl.
The sludge scrapers are equipped with a tray edge cleaning system. The brush automatically cleans trays with both one-sided and two-sided overflow. Thanks to a specially selected degree of rigidity, a high quality of biofilms removal is maintained.
