Peripheral traction clarifier with sludge suction for wastewater treatment
Optimize your wastewater management with a robust clarifier designed to enhance sludge removal and improve water quality in continuous operations. Ideal for facilities tackling complex treatment challenges, ensuring effective separation and flotation processes.

Clarifies and Removes Sludge from Wastewater
The Peripheral Traction Clarifier with Sludge Suction PTA from WAMGROUP offers an efficient solution for sludge separation and water clarification in wastewater treatment applications. Designed to handle both municipal and industrial environments, it effectively removes biological sludge and floating particles using a rotating central support and traction trolley system. This equipment excels in continuous operation with low maintenance requirements, perfect for facilities ranging from municipal sewage plants to industrial dyeing works and pulp processing.
Capable of managing large-scale operations up to 60-meter diameter tanks, it integrates seamlessly into existing systems, enhancing sludge separation and clean water efflux. The engineered syphon pipes equipped with scraper blades ensure precise sludge removal while surface scrapers manage floating matter. Moreover, the system offers customization with materials like hot dip-galvanized carbon steel, 304L, or 316L stainless steel for corrosion resistance, adapts to alternative power requirements, and includes motorized rotating brushes for efficient launder maintenance. The PTA complies with environmental sector standards, facilitating installations in various water and solid waste treatment industries.
