Thickener-clarifier Aka-Set

Radial thickeners with Central drive AKA-SET is for thickening and desliming pulps and slurries, clarification of recycled water and solutions on the mining and processing factories, metallurgical, chemical and other industries.

Thanks to the application of the process of thickening, there is an increase in concentration, i.e., increasing the amount of solids in a certain volume of pulp, which allows you to adjust the pulp density in accordance with subsequent technological operations. The condensing process precedes the process of pressure filtration, allows to increase the efficiency and productivity of processing.

The pulp concentration becomes possible as a result of the deposition of the contained solid particles under the action of the attached mass forces, usually gravitational or centrifugal.

In General, the process of thickening the thickener in compliance with the specified modes of operation the pulp is distributed into several zones according to the depth of thickener. In the upper area of the thickener contains the clarified liquid in the middle area of the pulp with the initial density and at the bottom area of compaction or consolidation. As a result, the fluid pressure upstream layers.
