Central traction clarifiers for wastewater sludge removal

Efficiently handle waste challenges with precision-engineered clarifiers, expertly designed to streamline sludge removal and enhance water quality across various treatment stages.

Removes Sludge and Clarifies Wastewater

The Central Traction Clarifiers PTC from WAMGROUP offer reliable sludge removal and wastewater clarification for municipal and industrial applications. Using a central drive shaft, these clarifiers efficiently separate sludge from wastewater in circular settling tanks, commonly used in municipal treatment plants, pulp, and paper processing, as well as tanneries and dyeing works. With a capacity for tanks up to 18 meters in diameter, they support continuous, automated operations. The equipment is constructed from robust materials, including hot dip-galvanized carbon steel and stainless steel options, for enhanced durability and resistance to corrosion. Integration is seamless, with options for alternative voltage, motor protection levels, and electric torque limit switches ensuring adaptability to various operational conditions. Maintenance is simplified, and quick installation into existing setups is achievable, emphasizing the unit’s practicality and efficiency in diverse treatment environments.
