For separating foreign bodies from dewatered sludge
In practice, foreign bodies in dewatered sludge are a common cause of costly plant downtime in downstream recycling processes and necessitate inconvenient repair processes. The use of upstream impurity separators significantly increases the operational safety of the entire plant.
How does the HUNING impurity separator work?
Dewatered effluent sludge is fed onto two rollers working in opposing directions. Sludge and solids with a particle size that is smaller than the roller gap can pass through the (adjustable) gap of the separator. Larger solids are guided via a spiral-shaped groove on one of the two rollers towards the impurity ejector, where they are ejected. The impurity ejector is equipped with a pendular flap to prevent the undesired discharge of sludge.
Impurities that cannot be conveyed by means of the grooved roller pass through the roller gap, causing a deflection in the roller. This is detected and the separator is switched off. Adjustable sludge strippers prevent sludge from becoming stuck to the rollers.
The entire separation system is encased in a sludge-tight housing. Shaft openings are equipped with suitable sealing equipment. Impurities are separated out into a trough provided by the client or into an optional collecting container via a slide attached to the side of the system. The sludge, which is now free of impurities, passes through a discharge chute beneath the separator for onward transportation.
