Landustrie centraal aandrijfsysteem

A central drive mechanism (also called industrial drive or cage drive) is used for clarifiers and thickeners applied and rests on a stationary column mounted in the center of the sedimentation tank. A half or full-span bridge then attaches to the robust housing of the drive unit.

A central drive system can be used for tanks with a diameter up to 50 meter. Our central drives are robust and have a long service life. We are able to design and produce central drive units for your specific applications, including refurbishments and new builds.

Detailed information

This column-mounted central drive system provides the rotational force necessary to turn the rake arms in a circular basin through a center cage mechanism, transporting settled solids to the center of the sedimentation tank for removal.

The drive mechanism assembly is mounted on the center column of a sedimentation tank and secured by anchor bolts. The drive mechanism consists of a reduction unit, an integral geared slewing ring and a drive pinion. The steel fabricated housing is protected by a special industrial coating. The drive mechanism is fixed on the center column, whilst the geared slewing ring is attached to the rotating raking mechanism.
