FERRUM Pre-thickening

Static pre-thickener

The static pre-thickener is the simplest thickening device if the solid discharge behaviour and if there is enough installation room available to permit its use. The feed to the centrifuge can be regulated by the FERRUM DAU dosing device. This device enables uniform feed of the thickened mixture to multiple centrifuges.
 

Curved sieve

The mixture to be thickened is fed under pressure to the curved surface of the sieve. The resulting centrifugal force pushes a portion of the liquid through the sieve slots. The thickened mixture is collected at the end of the sieve track and fed into the centrifuge.

Hydrocyclone

The hydrocyclone separates the solid/liquid by centrifugal acceleration. The thickened mixture is fed to the centrifuge and the mother liquor leaves the hydrocyclone through the overflow.

Integrated pre-thickener

The integrated pre-thickener is another FERRUM patented innovation. The conical design allows the pusher centrifuge to be fed directly with a mixture from the crystallization process. The integrated pre-thickener can for certain applications eliminate the requirement for an external pre-thickening installation.
