Peripheral traction clarifier for sludge suction

Effectively manage sludge and scum removal with this clarifier, designed for circular tanks. Enhance your wastewater treatment process with efficient separation, ensuring clean water output and reduced maintenance.

The PTA Peripheral Traction Clarifier with Sludge Suction from WAMGROUP is engineered to enhance municipal and industrial wastewater treatment by effectively removing sludge and floating particles. Operating on a traction-based system, this clarifier employs a central support and peripheral traction trolley to ensure seamless sludge suction and scum removal. It’s designed for both primary and secondary circular settling tanks, achieving efficient separation through slow-moving syphon pipes with scraper blades.

Suitable for various industries like municipal wastewater treatment, pulp and paper processing, and industrial solid waste handling, this clarifier supports the production of drinking water, treated wastewater, and dewatered sludge. The equipment is capable of handling up to 60-meter diameter tanks, with a construction that includes hot dip-galvanised carbon steel, and options in 304L or 316L stainless steel for enhanced corrosion resistance.

With quick installation and low maintenance requirements, the PTA integrates easily into existing setups. It offers optional configurations like extended walkway lengths and double traction systems for specific operational needs. Additional features include scum removal via a rotoling pipe system, a motorized rotating brush for launder cleaning, and alternative motor protection options, all ensuring optimal performance and reliability.
