Working Principle
The Xinhai Efficient Thickener operates based on the principle of gravity sedimentation. Here’s how it works:
1. The slurry is fed into the thickener tank.
2. Solid particles settle to the bottom due to gravity, forming a dense sludge layer.
3. A rotating rake mechanism gently moves the settled solids toward the center discharge point.
4. Clear water overflows from the top of the tank, while thickened underflow is discharged from the bottom.
