AQUASCRAPER - SL State of the Art Suction Lift ... - Aquatec Maxcon

AQUATEC-MAXCON PTY LTDPRODUCT LITERATUREAQUASCRAPER - SLState of the Art Suction Lift ClarifiersDo you want complete control ofhow much and how fresh you wantyour sludge?Since building our very first AquaScraper-SL Clarifier in the 1970's, Aquatec-Maxconhas spent over 15 years on research anddevelopment. The end result is that ourclients can rely on a trouble free clarifier formany many years.Our design incorporates a peripheralbridge drive with gravity discharge ofsludge making a simple and fail-safeoperation. Tank sizes can range from a fewmetres up to 42 metres with 1 radius, fulldiameter, or 3 radius bridge arrangements.Design Advantages Intrinsic control of sludge flow fromindividual riser pipes eliminates theneed for flow control devicesdownstream from the clarifierAllows for a flat floor constructionproviding civil works benefitsLarge diameter riser pipes to eliminateblockagesFull control of sludge withdrawal acrossthe entire clarifier floorSpecial rubber joints between the bridgeand central support mechanism eliminatesmoments induced by uneven tankconstructionOptional hinged riser pipes allowmovement in the suction end and hoodassembly to optimise settings for unevenfloor profiles and inspectionOpen bridge flooring provide operatorswith a clear view of their control gateadjustmentsAccommodates for both single peripheraland double internal laundersProven reliability dispenses with the needfor stand by clarifiers in small treatmentplants

Fresher sludge due to a rapid return Eliminates the need for siphons, orother devices that require priming ormaintenanceGeneral Design FeaturesThe AquaScraper-SL operates with aseries of riser pipes fed by a hooded Vscraper gliding across the tank floor.Collected settled sludge discharges fromthe riser pipes hydraulically through acontrol gate into a trough formed by thebase of the bridge. Sludge then drops intoa central discharge to feed the returnsludge pump station.Low maintenance gearmotor and centralbearingsAutomatic regulation of sludge return flowvia a simple control valveApplicationsOxidation ditch systems Activated sludge systems Trickling filter systemsChemically assisted sedimentationsystemsIndustrial wastewater treatmentAs the bridge trough is submerged withinthe clarifier, the discharge of sludge isdriven purely by the hydraulic difference inwater level between the clarifier and bridgetrough.Adjust Your Suction to Suit YourTank's Natural Profile Bridge mechanism is centrally pivotedand peripherally driven through agearmotor driving the leading wheel ofa two wheeled bogie Corrosion protection by galvanising,epoxy coating, or both Power for the drive is fed through thecentre column to multiple slip ringslocated at the bridge pivot Electro-mechanical overload couplingsfor gearmotor protectionThe manufacturer reserves the right to alter performance, specification or design without notice.Aquatec-Maxcon Pty.
