concentration of 4 to 6%.
This mechanical thickening will constantly produce

thickening.
It is possible to install as pre-thickener for your
existing belt press or centrifuge to improve their
dewatering performance.
Furthermore, even in some facilities where the
dewatered cakes are not easily transported, the
volume of sludge to be disposed of can be reduced
by thickening and yet it is still easily transported
(pumped) as it is still in liquid form.

Polymer Make-up System

AF Series AP Series

AP Series and AF Series are designed
to dissolve polymers, which are used
for sludge dewatering and various
other wastewater treatment systems,
automatically to the specified concentra-
tions of polymer. Automation of dissolving
work will drastically save labor cost.
Save labor by fully automatic operation
will do the rest from measurement to dissolution.
Constant concentration
The concentration of the diluted polymer Is kept consistent as the device
automatically measures the stock solution and dilution water.
Interlocked operation with sludge dewatering press or another
machine
The device keeps monitoring the dissolving tank and the stock solution
tank / the hopper using sensors. When the level of the polymer is low or
Ranged Capacity
when supply of dilution water is inadequate, the device automatically stops
100% Active Polymer
and sends a warning signal to external equipment. (kg/h)
