Volute™ Thickener

Compact, Continuous Sludge Thickening for Maximum Process Efficiency

The VOLUTE™ Thickener provides continuous, reliable sludge thickening with minimal space, power, and maintenance requirements. Its innovative, clog-resistant drum design and smart, self-monitoring controls make it ideal for unattended operation.

The system automatically adapts to changes in sludge feed volume, composition, and concentration for optimal performance. Operators can easily adjust polymer dosage, flocculation energy, screw speed, and feed rate via the HMI panel or through SCADA integration. Even if feed rates drop, the unit can run with one or more drums offline to maintain efficiency.

The VOLUTE™ Thickener increases sludge solids from under 1% to over 4–6%, producing a consistent, pumpable product that’s ready for dewatering or digestion. It’s a compact, cost-effective alternative to traditional gravity thickeners or belt presses offering unmatched flexibility and reliability..
