Truss Sludge Scraper

Truss sludge scraper is a mechanical device used for scraping and collecting sludge or scum at the bottom of sedimentation tank or flotation tank. It consists of truss structure, driving device, mud scraping device and mud collection device.

The truss structure is the supporting frame of the mud scraper, usually made of steel or aluminum alloy. The driving device provides power for the scraper, which is usually composed of motor and reducer. Mud scraping device consists of scraper, scraper and scraper beam, which is used to scrape and collect sludge or scum. Sludge collecting device is used to collect the scraped sludge or scum, usually composed of sludge collecting tank and sludge collecting pipe.


Working principle

  1. The drive unit drives the scraping device to reciprocate along the truss structure.
  2. The scraper, scraper plate and scraper beam scrape the sludge or scum from the bottom of the pool into the sludge collecting device.
  3. The sludge or scum is discharged to the subsequent treatment facility through a sludge collection pipe.

Features

Applications

  • Wastewater treatment: In the sedimentation tank of wastewater treatment plant, truss scraper is used to scrape and collect the settled sludge and discharge it to the sludge treatment facility.
  • Industrial wastewater treatment: In the settling tank of industrial wastewater treatment plant, truss scraper is used to scrape and collect the settled industrial waste sludge and discharge it to the industrial waste sludge treatment facility.
  • Domestic water treatment: In the sedimentation tank of domestic water treatment plant, truss scraper is used to scrape and collect the settled water treatment sludge and discharge it to the sludge treatment facility.

Selection of truss sludge scraper

Pool shape and size

  • Pool shape: The common types of truss scraper include rotary type, straight type and double-arm type, and the suitable type should be chosen according to the shape of the pool. For example, for round pools, rotary truss scraper is usually chosen; for square or rectangular pools, straight-line or double-arm truss scraper can be chosen.
  • Pool size: the size of the truss scraper should be matched with the pool size. For example, the span of the scraper should be slightly smaller than the width of the pool to ensure that the scraper can cover the entire bottom of the pool.

Water quality

  • Sludge concentration: Sludge concentration will affect the scraping efficiency of truss scraper. For high sludge concentration sedimentation tank, truss scraper with strong scraping ability should be selected.
  • Nature of sludge: the nature of sludge will affect the operation mode of truss scraper. For example, for viscous sludge, truss scraper with mixing device should be chosen.

Operation requirements

  • Scraping speed: scraping speed should be determined according to the sludge sedimentation speed and sludge discharge requirements.
  • Working time: the running time of truss scraper should be determined according to the load condition of sedimentation tank.

Other factors

  • Cost: the price of truss mud scraper varies a lot, so the suitable equipment should be chosen according to the budget.
  • After-sales service: you should choose manufacturers with good reputation in order to get perfect after-sales service.

The following are some specific recommendations for truss mud scraper selection:

  • For small-sized sedimentation tank (tank size less than 10m), rotary or in-line truss scraper can be selected.
  • For medium-sized sedimentation tank (tank size 10~30m), you can choose rotary, straight-line or double-arm truss scraper.
  • For large sedimentation tank (tank size more than 30m), double-arm truss scraper can be chosen.
  • For high sludge concentration sedimentation tank, truss scraper with mixing device can be selected.
  • For viscous sludge, truss scraper with submersible mixer can be chosen.
