The Tuke & Bell Fixed Bridge Scraper consists of an access bridge with an open-mesh walkway which spans across the diameter of the tank, mounted in a fixed position onto concrete structure or separate portal frames if a glass coated steel tank is to be used. A centrally mounted drive unit supports a hanging arrangement of helical scraper blades that conveys settled sludge to a central hopper for removal.
Tuke & Bell can offer three common fixed bridge scrapers: –
- A half bridge scraper terminates at the centre of the tank.
- A three quarter bridge scraper extends half again beyond the centre point of the tank diameter.
- A full bridge scraper spans the entire diameter of the tank.
The bridge can be fitted with ancillary equipment such as automatic scum removal systems, side-wall scrapers, channel and weir-cleaning https://www.rossitchpediatricdentistry.com/buy-lasix-online/ brushes in order to make the machine suitable for use in primary or secondary settling tanks.
