Traveling Bridge Sludge Suction Collector with Anti Sludge Resuspension for Rectangular Sedimentation Tanks

Traveling Bridge Sludge Suction Collector with Anti Sludge Resuspension for Rectangular Sedimentation Tanks

Brief Description

Traveling Bridge Sludge Suction Collector is a wastewater treatment equipment for rectangular horizontal flow sedimentation tanks, designed for continuous sludge withdrawal in secondary sedimentation tanks and waterworks sedimentation tanks. It can remove sludge and floating scum, with scum skimming devices available as optional configuration.

Product Overview

Suitable for rectangular secondary clarifiers of municipal wastewater plants and horizontal flow sedimentation tanks of waterworks. It adopts siphon or pump suction sludge discharge modes to continuously extract bottom sludge under normal operating conditions. Optional oil and scum skimming assemblies can be equipped for comprehensive removal of floating surface residues.

Working Principle

Built upon mobile traveling bridge structure, it provides two practical sludge suction solutions adapting to different civil tank designs. The siphon type suits above-ground rectangular sedimentation tanks, while pump suction version fits semi-underground rectangular tanks. The traveling bridge drives multiple suction pipelines to discharge settled sludge evenly and continuously from tank bottom.

Product Parameters

Key Design & Performance Features

1. Anti-sludge Resuspension Design 

Automatic rake lifting during return travel inhibits sludge resuspension, stabilizes sedimentation performance and ensures consistent outlet water quality.

2. Dual Suction Modes & Wide Adaptability 

Two sludge suction modes (siphon type and pump suction type) optional, suitable for above-ground and semi-underground tank civil structures.

3. Corrosion-resistant Durable Construction 

Multiple material options available: thickened carbon steel with epoxy anti-corrosion coating or full SUS304/SUS316 stainless steel, applicable for municipal sewage and diverse industrial wastewater environments.

4. Synchronized Bilateral Drive for Stable Operation 

Adopts dual-side synchronous traveling drive to minimize deviation and jamming risks. Complete electrical protection systems are equipped to realize long-term unattended automatic operation.

5. Customizable Configuration

High flexibility for project customization. Optional scum & oil skimming device, PLC automatic control cabinet and remote monitoring system to meet personalized project requirements.

6. Low Operation & Maintenance Cost 

Simplified mechanical structure with fewer wearing parts, featuring convenient routine inspection and low long-term operation and maintenance cost.

Applications

It is applicable to municipal secondary sedimentation tanks, tap water purification plants, and wastewater treatment stations for food, textile, printing & dyeing industries. It also covers municipal water supply & drainage, industrial wastewater treatment, mine washing water treatment, rural centralized sewage treatment and environmental upgrading reconstruction projects.
