Travelling bridges for sludge removal in wastewater treatment

Achieve comprehensive sludge and scum removal in wastewater treatment processes with a robust automated bridge system designed for high-efficiency operations in settling tanks, ensuring consistently treated effluent quality.

Removes Sludge and Scum in Wastewater Treatment

The PVS Travelling Bridge from WAMGROUP is designed for efficient sludge and scum removal in both municipal and industrial wastewater treatment settings. Operating with a robust gear motor, it features both surface and bottom scrapers that seamlessly convey settled sludge into collection hoppers and scum into channels. Specifically engineered for rectangular tanks up to 12m wide and 50m long, it integrates smoothly into existing treatment systems with minimal installation effort. Its construction from hot-dip galvanized carbon steel or stainless steel (304L/316L) ensures long-term durability and corrosion resistance. The PVS model offers options like cable holding chains and a travel system on rails, catering to varied operational needs. With the added benefit of low maintenance costs, this system supports continuous operation in applications ranging from sewage treatment to industrial by-products processing, delivering treated and clarified effluents efficiently.
