Belt Thickener Operating Principle The thickener operates in continuous mode The sludge / flocculent mixture is fed to the moving top sieve belt and distributed all over its operating length In the movement the sludge layer is constantly mixed by the ripper system for water outflow improvement The water drains via gravity feed
The thickener had a peripheral walkway that allowed convenient access to the instrument and provided the ability to take manual bed level readings at any angular position around the tank At the time of the prototype test thickener control was based on the operator conducting a manual bed level reading every four hours
What is a Thickener In very simple words a thickener is a machine that separates liquid from solids It is defined as a method of continuous dewatering of a dilute pulp wherein a regular
Table in chapter 6 of Part A Manual If these concentrations exceed those values then If an object falls into the tank immediately halt thickener operation to prevent torque overload • During plant rounds regularly observe and record the drive torque indicator which is the best
Equation 4 describes the thickener operating line Because Gs and Gt are constants for constant operating conditions Equation 4 gives the relation between cu and u that pertains within each layer of sludge as it passes through the thickening zone Gs is determined by the solids feedrate to the thickener neglecting
4 Brings Thickener Control Within Reach measure and wirelessly transmit the drag forces of compacting solids as the rake arm moves through the bed s operating zone A bridge mounted receiver uses the sensors data to calculate the bed level It then sends its continuous real time measurements to the plant s distributed control system
Thickener troubleshooting in mineral processing plants involves identifying and resolving issues that hinder the efficient separation of solids from liquids One common issue is poor flocculation which can be caused by incorrect flocculant dosage improper mixing or changes in slurry characteristics Conducting jar tests to determine the optimal flocculant
Improved thickener operation at Minera Valle Central Online interface and turbidity measurement with Turbimax CUS71D and CUS52D Manual measurement in laboratory is carried out in the same units • CUS71D Installation Assembly installed on the thickener bridge at
For batch style operations the Ross VersaMix with SLIM System is considered one of the most efficient mixing systems of today It combines the bulk flow inducing capability of the anchor agitator the dispersing action of the sawtooth blade and the homogenizing and powder induction functions of the SLIM modified rotor/stator assembly
Mill Feed Thickener Operating Principles Under normal conditions our EXAMPLE mill feed thickener rake drive will operate with the gear mechanism lowered regardless of grinding or leaching operations Operating lights on the mill control panel indicate whether the rakes are fully lifted fully lowered moving up or down turning or stopped
bed in the main tailings thickener The sensor should replace the manual measurement for which a sludge judge sludge sampling device had been used This manual measurement was time consuming and not as reliable as an automated measurement Benefits at a glance • Better control and monitoring of the thickener operation
See your operations and maintenance manual for information on the recommended weekly maintenance tasks involving the following Grease Internal Bearings; Knowing the condition of your centrifuge or sludge thickener will reduce repair costs and enhance performance reliability Not only that but a forward thinking centrifuge maintenance plan
Thickener Normal Operation Procedure After the thickener has been brought up to normal operating conditions the operator must monitor the process variables and alarms The operator is also required to sample and analyse process streams and read local indications Flocculant is added to the thickener feed pipe The operator must adjust the
Manual operation is not usually enough to satisfy the desired efficiency of the separation This scenario represents the daily operation of the thickener with normal variations of the feed slurry density In this scenario the feed density is decreased by 10 kg/m 3
With a calculated and data driven approach thickener operation can effectively maximise throughput in mining operations This is accomplished by Optimal dilution of thickener feed slurry Achieving desired thickener settling rates Minimising
The control of paste thickener is important because underflow solids concentration has to be maintained within a certain operating window to maximize water recovery while avoiding operational
Thickener modernizations upgrades and retrofits Restore your thickener to its original condition or upgrade for increased performance Improve performance and extend the life of equipment by upgrading your aged thickener The thickener bridge and mechanism are often upgraded in conjunction with the entire feed system Upgrading these
