Product Description
Detailed Specifications & Features
Gravity Settling High-Efficiency Concentration | Paste Deep Cone Volume Reduction | Thickener
Industrial solid-liquid separation equipment for wet metallurgy and mineral processing applications.
Product Overview
The Thickener (also known as a Concentrator) is a large-scale solid-liquid separation device based on gravity settling. It typically consists of a cylindrical shallow tank with a conical bottom, constructed from concrete, wood, or metal welded plates. The equipment concentrates low-concentration slurry (10%~20% solid content) into high-solid-content underflow slurry (45%~55%) through gravity settling. With a slow-rotating rake mechanism, the thickened underflow slurry is discharged from the bottom port. Thickeners play a crucial role in solid-liquid enrichment and separation in concentrators, and are also widely used in leaching and washing processes of cyanide plants for concentration, washing, and buffering functions.

Key Features & Advantages
- High-Efficiency Gravity Concentration: Relies on gravity settling mechanism and slow-rotating mud rake (1/3 to 1/5 r/min) to efficiently concentrate dilute slurry from 10%~20% to 45%~55% solid content.
- Cross-Shaped & Inclined Rake Teeth Design: Central drive thickeners feature perpendicular radial rake arms with teeth installed at 30° angles for thorough scraping and efficient discharge.
- Flexible Construction & Drive Options: Robust concrete tanks with steel plate options for smaller diameters, plus both central and peripheral drive transmission schemes for various industrial conditions.
- Technological Evolution to Paste Deep Cone: Advanced thickener technology evolution from traditional models to high-efficiency and paste deep cone thickeners, reducing footprint while increasing underflow concentration to paste state.
Frequently Asked Questions
What industries and scenarios are thickeners primarily used for?
Thickeners are widely used in wet metallurgy, concentrators (mineral processing plants), chemical plants, and other production sites that require solid-liquid enrichment and separation. They are extensively utilized in cyanide plants for leaching and washing equipment.
Is there a difference in how the specifications for central drive and peripheral drive models are expressed?
Yes. Central drive thickener specifications are expressed by the inner diameter of the thickener tank, while peripheral drive types are expressed by the diameter of the annular track.
Traditional thickeners take up a huge amount of space. Have modern devices improved upon this?
Yes, there have been significant improvements. Modern high-efficiency thickeners and paste deep cone thickeners have undergone qualitative changes in settling principles. Combined with flocculant use, they drastically reduce required land area while significantly increasing underflow concentration to paste-like states.
