Thickener EFK
Robust and reliable dewatering
An economical solution for various applications
The Thickener EFK is a solid and flexible all-rounder. Due to its strong design, the Thickener EFK is insensitive to any process variations. Fluctuating inlet consistency and changes in furnish are handled easily.
Unlike conventional gravity drum thickeners, the Thickener EFK contains circular ring dewatering segments. These long-lasting components consist of a metal wire embedded in glass fiber reinforced plastic. They have been proven to be virtually maintenance free and are resistant to foreign objects.
The compact design of the Thickener EFK makes it possible to be installed in almost any location and is an economical solution for different areas of application.
Due to its flexibility, the EFK thickener is appropriate especially for small lines and for installations with frequent grade changes.
