Gravity Belt Thickener

The Gravity Belt Thickener (GBT) is a low power, high capacity thickening device designed to operate in continuous, high throughput applications. 

A few of the features included to maximize performance and minimize maintenance are:

• Replaceable plow shoes.
• Pneumatically actuated rack and pinion tensioning.
• Variable speed drive motor.

Available in 1.2, 2, 3, and 4-meter belt width designs, the GBT can process a wide range of sludges, flows and solids concentration.

Features

• Large filtration area.
• Replaceable plow shoes.
• Unique plow design.
• "Interference fit" roller construction.
• VFD drive system.
• Pneumatic tensioning and tracking system.
• Rugged I-beam frame construction.
• PLC controls with Operator Interface Terminal (OIT).

Benefits

• Large filtration area provides better performance and maximum throughput.
• Replaceable plow shoes reduce maintenance cost since the entire plow assembly does not have to be replaced when worn.
• High efficiency plow design greatly accelerates the rate of drainage allowing for higher throughput.
• Unique “interference fit” roller construction completely eliminates roller failures and costly downtime.
• VFD drive provides accurate belt speed control and minimizes energy consumption.
• Pneumatic tensioning and tracking system eliminates the mess and problems with hydraulic systems, assures even belt tension and accurate belt tracking.
• Rugged hot dipped galvanized frame assures long life under harsh operating conditions.
• Automated control system minimizes operator requirements and provides the ability to monitor operation from the plant SCADA system.
