Product catalog summary
Overview: The Metso Spiral Dewaterer is designed for optimal dewatering of solids in water treatment systems, particularly effective for slag and mill scales. It features an open trough with a feed distributor that evenly spreads the inlet flow. Coarse materials settle and are continuously removed by a transport spiral, with dewatering occurring in the upper part before discharge.
Specifications: The spiral dewaterer is available in various models, each with specific dimensions, power requirements, and tank capacities. For example, the SDC60-200 model has dimensions of 6450 mm height, 14100 mm length, and 4880 mm width, with a power requirement of 4 kW and a tank capacity of 60/70 m³.
Design and Operation: The spiral dewaterer includes a large pool area for high flow applications, making it suitable for industrial washing effluents. It can handle flow rates up to 1600 m³/h. The design includes optional features like an oil skimmer for removing floating oils and greases, and inclined plate packs to increase sedimentation area.
Maintenance and Installation: The unit is typically delivered pre-fabricated with stairs, handrails, and platforms. Larger units may require on-site assembly. Maintenance is facilitated by features like a grease-purged submerged bearing assembly, which can be serviced without removing the spiral from the tank.
Additional Features: Optional service platforms and hydraulic spiral lifting devices are available. The spiral flights are made of high chrome iron for durability, and the drive system includes an electric motor with a V-rope drive and speed reducer for reliable operation.
Applications: The spiral dewaterer is particularly effective for washing effluents from the steel industry, handling high flows with low to moderate solid content. It provides a well-dewatered product and clear overflow, typically with 100 ppm of solids.

Dewatered solids Spiral dewaterer – optimal for dewatering of slag and mill scales Metso spiral dewaterer consists b ­ asically of an open trough with a ­ rrangements for collection of the products. The inlet flow is evenly spread out through a feed distributor. Coarse material settles and is c ­ ontinuously removed by means of the transport spiral. The material will be dewatered by drainage in the upper part of the spiral before discharge. The discharge launder for the dewatered material is easily adjusted between two positions, allowing alternative discharge into two ­ eparate bins. s Washing...

Large pool area – for high flow applications Easy to install and maintain Typically for the spiral dewaterer is that the tank area is larger than for the spiral classifiers. This enables these machines to take on high flows with limited ­ olids content, applications very common for s different Industrial washing effluents. With the addition of in­ lined ­ c plate packs in the tank this gives settling areas from 8 up to 100 m2 ­ and flow rates up to 1600 m3/h. The spiral dewaterer is generally delivered as a pre­abricated unit f complete with stairs, handrails and platforms. The larger units may...
