"Thickener" usually refers to a thickening device used in the mining and smelting industries to separate solid particles and liquids from ore, often for extracting useful minerals or metals. The main types and specifications of thickeners vary by application and manufacturer, but here are some common thickener types and general specifications:
1. Conventional Thickener:
Diameter: 10 feet to 300 feet (approximately 3 meters to 90 meters)
Capacity: Usually measured in tons per hour handled (t/h), ranging from tens of t/h to thousands of t/h.
2. Belt Thickener:
Bandwidth: Generally between 0.5 meters and 3 meters.
Processing capacity: Depends on belt speed and slurry concentration, usually measured in tons per hour handled.
3. Disc Thickener:
Disc diameter: usually between 1 and 3 meters.
Handling capacity: tons per hour, usually smaller.
4. Filter Thickener:
Filter area: from a few square meters to hundreds of square meters.
Processing capacity: Usually measured in tons handled per hour.
These specifications can vary depending on the specific application and manufacturer's requirements. The choice of thickener type and specification depends on factors such as the material to be treated, the desired concentration effect, processing capacity and operating conditions. Different types of thickeners have different working principles and advantages to meet the needs of different fields.
