AGGREGATE TECHNOLOGY

The Dewatering Wheel principle originated more than a century ago. Since then the concept has evolved, the design has been perfected, and today Bucket Wheel is a proven performer throughout Europe. Bosch Rexroth Canada was proud to introduce it to the North American market. How does it work? Look closely at the surface of Bucket Wheel's tank. You'll see that it's completely covered by a system of 138 overflow weirs. This unique total-surface weir system instantly calms turbulent slurry as it comes into the tank, creating a tranquil settling area in which suspended material can sink slowly to the tank's bottom. The rotating wheel then scoops up solids and, bucket by bucket, lifts them out of the tank, allowing water to drain through flexible urethane screens which actually form each bucket's scoop. An individual vacuum chamber behind each bucket takes gravity a step further by forcibly extracting extra water. The vacuum is created naturally as the wheel lifts each bucket out of the tank..
