System components
Treatment Tank
The treatment tank is designed to get the optimum result out of the PolyClay® reacting agent. Once filled, the mixer can be started and a pre- weighed quantity of PolyClay® can be added manually. An optional decant port is available. This allows the clear, treated water to be sent to the crates for filtration prior to the sludge being released to the crates. This process speeds up the total treatment time.
Mixer
The mixer has been selected to provide optimum mixing during both the addition of PolyClay® chemicals and the treatment process.
Crate Filter Assembly
Disposable filter paper is utilised to line the crate assemblies. The crates providing support to the filter paper during dewatering. The unit is equipped with a drip conveyor so that up to 5 crates can be used for dewatering on the conveyor at any given time.
This allows the crates to continue to dewater inside the system. The crates can dewater even further after they have been removed from the CBF system.
The semi automatic version detects when the receiving crate is full and stops the flow of water and/or sludge. An empty crate with filter paper can then be moved underneath the outlet and the flow continued.
The PolyClay® ensures excellent dewatering leaving a non-leachable sludge by-product. After disposal of the sludge, the crate can be re- used with new filter paper.
Construction
The compactly built system is constructed from powder coated steel. All wet parts are manufactured from High Density Polypropylene ensuring long and reliable operation of the equipment.
