    Mud scraper (suction) with peripheral drive

    This equipment uses a peripheral drive. Wastewater enters the tank through a central inlet pipe and, after being uniformly distributed through a
    constant flow pipe, flows radially and evenly outward. Suspended
    sludge settles to the bottom of the tank. The drive unit rotates the working bridge along the periphery, which also rotates the scraper arm and scraper plate. The scraper
    plate collects the sludge and pumps it into the central sludge trap, using the static water pressure inside the tank. The sludge is then discharged from the tank through a
    central sludge discharge pipe. Floating foam on the water surface is directed into a
    foam removal hopper and removed from the tank through a rotating skimmer.
    The clarified liquid overflows into the outlet channel through a triangular overflow plate and is discharged from the tank. A scraper-suction machine with peripheral transmission is suitable for radial-flow settling tanks with a central inlet, peripheral outlet, and central sludge discharge in large, medium, and small tanks. It is primarily used for suction and discharge of sludge into secondary settling tanks of municipal wastewater treatment plants.

    Product Advantages


    Each machine is designed to precisely match the geometric parameters of your tanks and the characteristics of the sludge being removed. Highly accurate scraper mechanisms ensure complete bottom cleaning without dead zones. We offer technological solutions resistant to the aggressive environment of wastewater and guarantee the stability of the settling tank’s hydraulic operation.

    FAQ

    Why is a peripheral drive considered more efficient for radial settling tanks?

    A peripheral drive transmits torque to the outer edge of the frame, requiring significantly less effort and energy consumption compared to a central drive. This ensures smooth operation and uniform sludge removal across the entire bottom of the settling tank. This design reduces the load on mechanical components and extends the service life of the equipment, even when handling heavy industrial sludge.

    How does the machine cope with icing of the undercarriage in winter?

    For conditions in Uzbekistan, we equip the running wheels with special wipers and anti-slip systems. The running track on the side of the settling tank is designed to prevent water and snow accumulation. This ensures uninterrupted operation of the treatment plant even during sudden temperature changes, eliminating unscheduled system shutdowns due to drive slippage.

    When is it better to use a suction system instead of a conventional scraper?

    Suction blades (sludge pumps) are essential when working with activated sludge, which tends to quickly decompose if left at the bottom for long periods. The system, using pressure or a difference in water level, instantly removes sludge from the bottom zone, sending it for recirculation. This prevents sludge from floating and ensures clear, purified water exiting the secondary settling tanks.
