In-Feed Screw Pumps
Wastewater arrives to the facility and is lifted by screw pumps from the in-feed into the treatment plant. The gear units used in this process must provide the torque required along with seals and durable surface protection options.
Screening System
Wash Press Feed
Sand Trap/Grit Classifier
Flow rate in the sand trap is reduced to settle heavier materials (gravel, sand, or soil). These are fed to the grit classifier. Helical-bevel gearmotors are used because the gearing is designed for high-torque with long operational hours.
Primary Sedimentation
To allow the lighter particles to settle, the flow rate must be reduced to 0.015 m/s. Helical-bevel gearmotors are used due to the durable gearings resulting in an almost wear-free drive, even in continuous operation.
Final Sedimentation
Furter reducing the flow, saturated microorganisms sink to the bottom. The bottom sludge is pushed together with a slide feed and discharged. Helical-bevel gearmotors are ideally suited due to being able to handle heavy loads with long operating hours.
