Performance Advantages
Low profile operation and design outperforms high profile sludge collectors:
- High sludge transport speeds range from 1 to 10 FPM
- Sludge travels to either the end or center of the basin and is removed by the cross collector
- Hydraulic drive ensures reliable power and has automated position sensing technology
- Can be used for a variety of applications including potable water residuals; primary, secondary or tertiary wastewater clarification; industrial product recovery; and remediation
- High rate of solids removal enables intermittent operation and quick adaptation to changes in water quality
- Low profile scraper blades do not re-suspend settled solids and allow higher sludge transport velocities
- Cross-collector replaces multiple sumps with a single draw-off point
- Short travel distance and simple blade design eliminate the maintenance difficulties found with circular rake collectors
Key Features Only from MRI’s Ultra-Scraper Sludge Collector
Factory fabrication eliminates field-cutting and welding. Pre-made components are bolted together onsite for quick installation, which minimizes down time and installation error.
Automated solids removal reduces down time during annual maintenance shutdowns.
Drive components, hydraulic parts and controls are from top U.S. manufacturers including Rockwell International/Allen-Bradley, Baldor, and Vickers.
Thrust and linkage components are designed to be structurally extra heavy-duty.
End-of-stroke sensors are permanently set to maintain adjustment — no underwater electronics to maintain.
Back and forth blade action within sludge layer promotes solids dewatering and sludge thickening.
Cross-braced grid allows layout around columns, while custom blade lengths fit uneven sidewalls and floors for successful retrofit of any basin.
Spare parts are locally sourced, readily available and stocked in Colorado.
