rectangular tank mud scraper system Corrosion-Resistant Sludge Scrapers for Sewage Treatment Plants

The Rectangular Tank Mud Scraper System is a precision-engineered solution designed for the specific geometry and flow patterns of rectangular sedimentation basins, commonly found in both municipal and industrial water and wastewater treatment plants. Unlike circular systems that rotate, these typically employ a chain-and-flight or traveling bridge configuration to move sludge along the tank's length to a hopper located at one end. The design must ensure synchronized movement of multiple flights across the entire tank width to prevent dead zones where sludge can accumulate. The system's structural components, such as the bridge, tracks, and sprockets, are built for durability and precise alignment to avoid derailment or uneven scraping. A common challenge in rectangular tanks is effective sludge collection across the large surface area without excessive mechanical complexity. Our systems address this with robust drive units, wear-resistant chains, and flights designed to maintain full contact with the tank floor. These systems are often preferred for their space efficiency and ease of integration into large, multi-tank treatment plants. They are ideal for applications in potable water treatment plants for sludge removal from settling basins or in industrial pretreatment facilities. The design allows for covers to be installed easily for odor control or to protect the process from weather.
