Thickening
Separating the minerals from the water using gravity sedimentation means controlling the speed and at the same time facilitating the precise movements.
Thickeners are moved by single or multi-drive solutions. For this application Bonfiglioli offers vertical linear planetary gearboxes with very high reduction ratios to obtain speeds of <1 rpm on the output shaft, with particular attention to possible torque overloads, depending on the solid material layer thickness moved by the rake. For this reason, our solution can mount load cells to monitor and eventually limit the transmitted torque.
