VC 2500

Product specifications

The VC2500 vertical clarifier serves as static thickener of pre-cleaned suspensions and accelerates the sedimentation of solids on account of its design.

Functioning

Due to the application of flocculant aids the fine particles of the supplied solid-liquid mixture coagulate and result in macroflakes which settle in the tapered section of the VC2500. The liquid separated in the process moves upward into upper section of the tank from where it flows back into the slurry circuit of the processing after passing a rim. The concentrated sediment slurry is removed via an outlet on the bottom of the VC2500 and can then be fed via a pump into a centrifuge for dewatering.

In conjunction with an ITE flocculation unit – AutoFlock 3000 or MiniFlock – and an ITE centrifuge – ZR15046 or ZR18553 – the VC2500 represents an efficient and innovative stage for separating grain fractions < 45 microns.

Properties and equipment

Slurry thickening and slurry volume reduction
Enhanced efficiency of downstream decanter centrifuges by feeding a higher solids concentration
Requires less maintenance due to natural sedimentation process
Mounting brackets for anchoring the vertical clarifier in reinforced ground and protecting it against wind loads
Permanently installed ladder and equipment supplied for ensuring safe ladder ascent and descent
Two vibration motors mounted outside the tapered section of the tank for loosening the sludge and preventing the outlet from clogging
