rakes/scrapers
(OP)
Hi everyone,
we're using a small thickener (2m diameter) for a crystallizer mother liquor clarification before recycling it back to the process. Although the area seems to be adequate for the solids charge we're having problems with the underflow since crystals get stuck to the conical walls and remain inside the thickener. I thought of installing a rake or scraper to avoid this but I can't seem to find anything related to its design and torque/power calculations. Can anyone tell me where can I find such information?
thks

P.S. My team had an argentine player back in 2000, Acosta. Know him? I think he's playing for Riverplate now.
