The slurry thickener is suitable for the dewatering treatment of concentrate and tailings in the concentrator, increasing 20-30% of the slurry to about 40-70%. The thickener is widely used in metallurgy, chemical industry, coal, non-metallic mineral processing, environmental protection, and other industries.

Application area

Cement, silicate products, new building materials, refractory materials, fertilizers, ferrous and non-ferrous metal beneficiation, glass ceramics, and other production industries.

Brief Introduction of Equipment

The slurry thickeners are divided into central transmission thickeners, peripheral transmission thickeners, sludge thickeners, intermittent thickeners, vertical flow, and radial flow continuous thickeners. In fact, the thickener is not simple settling equipment, but a new type of dewatering equipment that combines the filtering characteristics of the mud layer.

Working principle

The slurry thickener is mainly composed of a circular thickening tank and a rake scraper. The solid particles suspended in the slurry in the thickening tank settle under the action of gravity, and the upper part becomes clarified water so that the solid and liquid can be separated. The sludge deposited on the bottom of the thickening tank is continuously scraped and collected by a rake scraper to the center of the bottom of the pool for discharge, while the clarified water overflows from the upper edge of the thickening tank.

Concentrator performance advantages

1. Novel structure, many application industries

The thickener is a new type of dewatering equipment that combines the filtering characteristics of the mud layer. It is suitable for the dewatering of concentrates and tailings in the concentrator. It is widely used in metallurgy, chemical, coal, non-metallic mineral processing, environmental protection, and other industries.

2. Fast settlement speed and high work efficiency

A certain amount of flocculant is added to the slurry to be concentrated to make the ore particles in the slurry form flocs and accelerate its settling speed, to achieve the purpose of improving the concentration efficiency. The installation of inclined plates shortens the settlement distance of ore particles, increases the settlement area, and has high work efficiency.

3. Equipped with complete automatic control facilities, strong processing capacity

The new thickener is equipped with a complete automatic control facility, which increases the particle size of the settled solid particles and accelerates the settlement speed of the solid particles; it is equipped with an inclined plate that can shorten the settling distance of minerals and increase the settling area, thereby improving the processing capacity of the equipment.

4. With a variety of operating functions, convenient

The thickener is a kind of continuous working thickening and clarification equipment with multiple functions. It is mainly used for the thickening and clarification of concentrate and tailing slurry and clean coal and tailing slurry in wet beneficiation and coal preparation operations. During the work process, energy-saving and environmental protection.
