Peripheral Drive Sludge Suction Machine Half-Bridge / Full-Bridge Customized for Radial Flow Circular Sedimentation Tanks

Peripheral Drive Sludge Suction Machine Half-Bridge / Full-Bridge Customized for Radial Flow Circular Sedimentation Tanks

Brief Description

The peripheral drive sludge suction machine is applicable to radial flow sedimentation tanks with central water inlet, peripheral water outlet and central sludge discharge, suitable for small, medium and large-diameter radial flow clarifiers. It is mainly used for sludge suction and discharge inside sedimentation tanks of urban sewage treatment plants.

Product Overview

This machine adopts peripheral drive, suitable for radial flow sedimentation tanks featuring central inflow, peripheral outflow and central sludge discharge. It is equipped with working bridge, sludge suction pipeline system, sludge collecting scraper, rotary scum transfer device and triangular weir plate. Sludge suction and discharge rely on hydrostatic pressure inside the tank, widely used for solid-liquid separation in sewage sedimentation tanks.

Working Principle

Wastewater flows into the tank through the central inlet pipe, spreads radially toward the tank periphery via the flow stabilizer, and suspended sludge settles on the tank bottom. The driving unit rotates the working bridge around the tank perimeter. The sludge collecting scraper gathers sludge, which is sucked into the sludge collecting trough through suction pipes under hydrostatic pressure, then flows into the central sludge tank and is discharged via central sludge pipe. Floating scum on water surface is guided into the scum hopper by the rotary scum transfer device. Clarified supernatant flows over triangular weir plates into the outlet channel for discharge.

Product Parameters

Note: Available in Half-bridge / Full-bridge construction upon customer requirements.

Key Design & Performance Features

1. Adopts peripheral driving design with reasonably distributed load and stable torque transmission.

2. The integrated slewing bearing on central support withstands axial force, radial force and overturning moment for high structural load capacity.

3. Equipped with slip-ring current collector to guarantee stable power supply under continuous rotation.

4. Combined sludge scraping and scum removal mechanism can collect settled sludge at the tank bottom and floating scum on water surface at the same time.

5. Steel working bridge with guardrails and walkway facilitates routine inspection and maintenance.

6. Reliable running performance and moderate energy consumption, adapted to long-term continuous operation for large-diameter radial flow sedimentation tanks.

Applications

Widely applied in radial flow sedimentation tanks of municipal wastewater treatment plants, waterworks and industrial wastewater stations for sludge collection and scum removal. Suitable for water supply & drainage projects and various large & medium circular sedimentation structures.
