Product catalog summary
Overview: The FSM skimmer is designed to address issues in sedimentation and activated sludge tanks by concentrating sludge, reducing costs, and improving performance. It is suitable for both municipal and industrial applications, particularly in the paper and beverage industries.
Functional Principle: The system uses a screw conveyor to gather floating sludge, which is then concentrated and pumped out. It accommodates water level variations up to 200 mm and is unaffected by external conditions.
Features:
  • High reliability due to robust construction.
  • Low-maintenance, dry-mounted pump.
  • Handles large quantities of floating sludge efficiently.
  • Suitable for both rectangular and circular tanks.
  • Can be retrofitted to existing systems and adapted to changing conditions.
  • Available as a mobile unit.
Applications:
  • Municipal and industrial clarification plants, including secondary sedimentation and primary settling tanks.
  • Paper and cellulose industry for floating sludge removal.
  • General industrial applications where floating matter is present.
Specifications:
  • Screw diameter: 470 mm.
  • Water level variations: 200 mm, up to 450 mm on request.
  • Tank diameter: up to 60 m, larger on request.
Materials:
  • Conveyor screw and container: Stainless steel SS304 or SS316.
  • Drives: Worm geared motors, SEW make.
  • Pump: Rotary piston pump or eccentric screw pump.
