WesTech Segmented Plow Rake Clarifiers are designed to address clarification requirements where a spiral blade is not required for sludge transport. Rake arms are made up of several straight segments, usually set at 30°-45° attack angle. Settled solids are transported through one blade width with each passing of a rake arm.
BENEFITS: • Simple design • Positive means of removing heavier solids • Usually results in more thickened solids than suction type mechanisms • Low mechanism costs • No clogging from orifices or plugging of pipes • Simplicity of design and operation
