sludge tank plastic scraper Non-Metallic Sludge Scrapers for Corrosive Media | 18-Yr Expertise

A sludge tank plastic scraper refers to the application of non-metallic scraping technology in tanks dedicated primarily to sludge storage, thickening, or digestion, rather than in primary clarifiers. These tanks, such as gravity thickeners, primary sludge holding tanks, or digesters, present a even more challenging environment due to the higher solids concentration, thicker consistency, and often more aggressive gaseous atmosphere (e.g., high hydrogen sulfide in digesters). The role of the scraper here is to consistently move the often viscous and settled solids toward a withdrawal point, preventing compaction and hardening that can make pumping impossible. Plastic scrapers are exceptionally well-suited for this task. Their corrosion resistance is critical in the highly corrosive headspace of these tanks. The excellent abrasion resistance handles the gritty nature of the sludge. Furthermore, specific blade designs, such as inclined blades or those with a large surface area, are used to effectively "plow" through the thick material without becoming bogged down. The reduced weight of the plastic system is a significant advantage, as it lowers the torque required to move through the dense sludge, reducing strain on the drive mechanism. We provide robust plastic scraper systems specifically engineered for the demanding conditions of sludge tanks, ensuring reliable mixing and withdrawal functionality.
