All of our thickener products are backed by more than 100 years of experience in engineering and manufacturing , ensuring you the best thickener fit for your unique plant requirements .” IM
The spiral inner blade improves mud bed residence time arms and the drive motor . Steadier rake arms with less mud bed inconsistency leads to less imbalance and reduces wear on components .
Gilbert adds : " Conventional rakes do not provide enough uniform raking capacity to move mud evenly to the outlet . Instead , the lowdensity material ratholes , flowing directly toward the outlet without optimal time in the thickener .”
FLSmidth builds its spiral rake blade assemblies for selected thickeners in a highstrength tubular construction that in and of itself will enable an increase in underflow density , compared with traditional box-truss construction . It says it is ruggedly dependable and intuitively designed for long life and
