Flocculators & Sludge Agitators – Low-Shear Mixing for Efficient Sedimentation
Datgur Engineering manufactures flocculators and sludge agitators designed for gentle, low-speed mixing in water and wastewater treatment applications.
These systems use slow-moving paddle mechanisms and low tip speeds to promote floc development, enhance settling efficiency, and minimize shear forces that could break apart formed flocs.
The result is improved sedimentation, reduced turbidity, and optimized treatment performance.
Critical Applications
Water Treatment: Facilitates impurity removal in municipal plants by forming settleable flocs.
Wastewater Treatment: Supports sludge formation and stabilization in primary and secondary treatment processes.
Mining & Minerals: Assists in removing fine particles from process water in tailing ponds and sedimentation tanks.
Pulp & Paper: Handles large volumes of suspended solids prior to discharge or recycling.
Key Functions & Mechanics
Flocculation: Low-shear mixing encourages particle collision and bonding without floc breakup.
Sludge Agitation: Maintains homogeneity to prevent unwanted sedimentation during processing.
Enhanced Sedimentation: Improves separation of water from solids, reducing turbidity.
Oxygen Distribution: Supports biological treatment by maintaining adequate oxygen dispersion in aeration processes.
Design Features
Low-Shear Impellers: Paddle or blade configurations prevent damage to delicate flocs.
Slow Rotation Speed: Typically operates between 10–100 RPM to minimize turbulence.
Variable Speed Control: Adjustable mixing intensity based on treatment stage and particle load.
Heavy-Duty Construction: Manufactured using corrosion-resistant Stainless Steel or coated Mild Steel for durability in chemically aggressive environments.
Types of Flocculators
Paddle Flocculators: Vertical or horizontal designs ensuring uniform mixing in large tanks.
Vertical Shaft Configurations: Equipped with paddle or propeller blades for high-efficiency treatment systems.
Horizontal Shaft Designs: Suitable for channels or basins with limited vertical space.
Hydraulic Flocculators: Utilize baffles and controlled water flow for non-mechanical mixing.
