LUMPP INDUSTRIAL SCRAPER FOR CLARIFIERS AND THICKENERS: For settling processes
The LUMPP industrial scraper for clarifiers and thickeners is designed to scrape settled sludge towards the tank outlet (at the centre or the edge) in continuous settling processes. These axial-drive machines efficiently scrape all types of sludge from circular tanks. These settling solutions are made of stainless steel using an ultra-robust design, capable of withstanding very high material loads.
LUMPP industrial scrapers are specially designed for tanks from 10 to 35 m in diameter and can collect and remove solid sludge at concentrations of up to 30%.

ADVANTAGES OF THE LUMPP INDUSTRIAL SCRAPER
Automatic anti-overload system
The LUMPP scraper is equipped with a safety system that detects torque overloads in the tank. In the event of overload, the automatic system adjusts the height of the scraper arms, reducing resistance and enabling continuous operation.
Option of laboratory rheology analyses
Rheology analyses can be carried out to help you specify your installation and guarantee that it will be a perfect match for your needs.
Sludge extraction options
To adapt to all the possible installation configurations, LUMPP scrapers can be installed in tanks with central sludge extraction (discharge cone in the centre of the tank) or edge sludge extraction.
APPLICATIONS OF THE LUMPP INDUSTRIAL SCRAPER
PHOSPHORIC ACID INDUSTRY
Calcium phosphate, phosphate ores, sulphuric acid, phosphate dihydrate, fluorite, calcium silicate, iron ores etc.
HYDROMETALLURGY
Zinc, nickel, copper, cobalt, etc.
WATER TREATMENT
Clarifiers, flocculation processes, thickeners etc.
Description of the LUMPP industrial scraper
The LUMPP industrial scraper for clarifiers and thickeners is primarily designed for phosphoric acid applications. The drive unit is installed centrally on a framework above the tank.
The rotation is transmitted by a tubular shaft with dedicated sections for the main vertical shaft, to which the scraper arms are attached. A coupling flange provides the link and blades attached to supports welded to the scraping arms scrape the material. These blades are bolted on for easy replacement. This settling solution also includes adjustable blades for precise adaptation to the operating conditions.
The liquid charged with fine particles is introduced into the scraper supply well. A reagent is added to the liquid beforehand to speed up the sedimentation process. The scraper blades direct the settled sludge towards the outlet (in the centre or at the edge of the tank). The clarified phase is recovered by overflowing in the upper part of the tank.

HASLER Group global support services for LUMPP mixing solutions
Our team of experts in LUMPP industrial scrapers offers:
/ Three-dimensional computer simulations of the agitation of a product in a tank based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD). This method simplifies the process of developing, optimising and validating mixing systems in accordance with the specifications, based on the calculations involved and their interpretation.
/ On-site services ranging from mixing equipment installation to commissioning of the scraper.
/ A complete support package from maintenance to repair of your industrial mixing solutions.
/ Rheology audits and tests to ensure the optimum efficiency of your agitation systems.
/ Supply of spare parts to guarantee the efficiency of your mixers, scrapers and impellers: agitator shafts, propellers, blades, turbines, mechanical seals, geared motors and torque limiters.
/ Reconditioning services to:
- Make your mixing processes more reliable: material fatigue (mechanical reinforcement, blades, shafts, etc.)
- Optimise these mixing processes: adjusting to new constraints (improving yield, homogenisation, dilution, etc.)
- Improve the mechanics of your processes: dealing with equipment breakages (shafts, impellers, seals, supports, junction flanges, etc.)
/ Provide advice on how to adapt the environment: mixture properties (corrosive or abrasive products, etc.); atmosphere (salty, corrosive air, explosive atmosphere etc.)
/ The provision of a wide range of training modules to enable the effective use of your industrial agitation solutions.
