PHOENIX Process Equipment Co. products

PHOENIX technologies for liquid/solid separation and slurry dewatering have led the way in mining and aggregates & industrial minerals since 1984. The proper selection, mixing, and delivery of polymers are integral to PHOENIX thickening and dewatering systems. From lab testing slurry samples through recommending and applying specific polymers, PHOENIX is dedicated to engineered process solutions that produce optimum results.

PHOENIX has designed systems for thickening and dewatering effluent slurries since 1984. Our auto/CHEM™ System Automation responds quickly to varying feed conditions for consistent dewatering performance and overflow water quality. Improving performance while reducing labor input, PHOENIX incorporates sensing, monitoring, and modulating equipment and software into an integral control system that provides maximum flexibility and adaptability.

PHOENIX has long been a market leader in separation, classification, thickening, and dewatering equipment for the aggregate industry. One recent innovation is the AltaFlo Ultra High Rate Thickener, featuring: No moving parts. Minimal space requirements. High underflow solids (as high as 50-60% in mining applications). Complete factory assembly for ease of installation and relocation. Extensive successful mining application experience. Diluted slurries, once flocculated, settle more readily than undiluted slurries. AltaFlo`s increased bed depth increases the compaction of thickened material at the bottom of the bed, maximizing the underflow solids concentration.

PHOENIX has served the aggregate industry for over twenty years with its systems for liquid/solid and solid/solid separation, classification, thickening, and dewatering. Adding to its range of separation technology, PHOENIX now offers the ATTRITION CELL Scrubber to de-agglomerate raw materials and remove surface contaminants from sand or other granular materials, featuring: Compact, robust construction. Minimal space requirements. High throughputs. Complete factory assembly for ease of installation and relocation. Over ten years of experience in the field.

PHOENIX has long been a leading supplier of dewatering equipment for the aggregate and mining markets. The PHOENIX HiFlo Thickener clarifies the water while it thickens the slurry from a wash plant to 40-45% solids, greatly reducing the volume going to the slurry pond. For complete elimination of the slurry pond, a PHOENIX Belt Filter Press may be added to dewater the thickened slurry either initially or as an upgrade.

PHOENIX is one of the market leaders for construction aggregate and industrial minerals fines recovery and dewatering systems. The PHOENIX Model HG Separator combines hydrocyclone and dewatering screen technology to effectively recover discarded fine sand from wash plant effluents. The dewatering fines are conveyable, stackable and potentially marketable. The Model HG overflow is suitable for ponding, or thickening and then dewatering on PHOENIX belt filter presses. Fines effluent slurry, typically containing 4-12% solids by weight. is pumped into the hydrocyclone portion of the separator to recover target fines.

PHOENIX offers state of the art hindered settling classifier technology. The HYDROSORT separates light, deleterious material and classifies sand to suit your exact needs. The controlled and flexible addition of upward current water allows an easy adjustment of the HYDROSORT operation to meet customer specification. Both the cut size and cut density can be varied over a broad range.

PHOENIX has expanded its already popular line of Model WX belt filter presses. The MODEL WX is available in several different configurations, each suited to the specific application. Design includes fully welded mainframe, oversized bearings, and unique corrosion protection features. Several different compression zone arrangements are available.

PHOENIX Process Equipment Co. offers recessed chamber and membrane filter presses and piston-membrane pumps. This gives our clients an alternative that can sometimes be preferred to our core belt filter press dewatering technology.

PHOENIX Process Equipment Co. is the U.S. technology for KISA GmbH and the PHOENIX/KISA Bucket Wheel, designed for the capture, de-sliming, and dewatering of sand and gravel slurries. Bucekt Wheels processing up to 1300 stph sand capacity each are available. These machines are uniquely designed for solids recoveries of 99%+, even from dilute slurries such as dredger spoil, with low power requirements. Dewatered solids are readily conveyable and stackable, having residual moistures that are considerably lower than dewatering screws.
