Thickeners for the Ceramic Industry

At Indusal, we have the machinery your ceramic company needs to carry out its activity as efficiently and effectively as possible. In this post, we’ll tell you a bit more about thickeners for the ceramic industry.

In this case, we focus on thickeners used for sludge settling in mining processes and the recovery of clarified water. These thickeners for the ceramic industry also feature scrapers on the bottom with a hydraulic lift for the agitation system, upper channels for collecting clarified water, and a centrifugal/piston pump.

What Is Decantation?

Decantation is a physical method used to separate components denser than water. With our equipment, this process takes place in sludge blanket clarifiers, whose operating principle is to keep the sludge layer suspended by extracting air from the vacuum chamber and discharging the accumulated water volume.

In thickeners, the processes of sludge concentration and thickening, decantation, and reduction of solids occur through the physical sedimentation of decantable products present in wastewater. The thickening function helps reduce the operating costs of the treatment plant.

As always, you can contact us by phone or email to request more information about the machinery you’re interested in, request a quote, or take advantage of our engineering service. For any questions or inquiries, we’ll be happy to assist you.
