NT type peripheral rack and pinion drive thickener

NT type peripheral rack and pinion drive thickener

I. Product Overview
NT type peripheral rack and pinion drive thickener is a high-efficiency thickener specially designed for large processing capacity and low concentration working condition. It adopts the innovative rack-and-pinion transmission system, featuring high torque, low energy consumption and stable operation. With a diameter ranging from 15 to 53 meters, it is widely used in solid-liquid separation operations in coal, chemical, building materials and sewage treatment industries.

Core Advantages
1. High-efficiency transmission system

• Double rack and pinion drive design: transmission efficiency is 25% higher than the traditional structure.

• Large torque output: 30% increase in processing capacity under the same power.

• Overload protection device: automatic shutdown protection to avoid damage to the equipment

2. Structural design highlights

3. Intelligent control system

• Frequency conversion speed control

• Remote monitoring interface

• Automatic fault diagnosis

Working Principle

• Feeding stage: the slurry is evenly distributed through the feeding trough on the truss.

• Sedimentation and concentration: solid particles are settled under the effect of gravity.

• Aggregate discharge: the rake blade pushes the concentrated material to the central discharge port.

• Clear water overflow: the clarified liquid is discharged from the peripheral overflow weir.

Fourth, the application field
1. Coal industry

• Thickening of coal slurry water (treatment capacity increased by 40%)

• Coal washing wastewater purification

2. Mineral processing industry

• Tailings concentration (bottom stream concentration ≥65%)

• Concentrate dewatering

3. environmental protection engineering

• Industrial wastewater treatment

• Municipal sludge thickening

V. Selection Guide
1. Mineral processing plant

• Daily processing capacity ≤ 500t: NT-15

• Daily processing capacity 500-1500t：NT-18～NT-24

• Daily processing capacity ≥ 1500t: NT-30 and above.

2. Key Selection Factors
