VA Teknik - Scum Pipes

• Efficient surface sludge removal
• Low maintenance due to low friction materials
• Motorized scumpipes can be operated by controllers

• At waste water treatment plants, industrial waste ­water­ treatment plants, pulp & paper mills etc. to remove ­surface sludge from the clarification tank.

The scumpipes are made of stainless steel and the ­rotation action is controlled either manually with a hand lever or with motored gears.

The scumpipe is supported in a plastic bearing and sealed with a gasket to prevent leakage. As an ­option the sludge scrapers can be used to control the scumpipes action in terms of flow monitoring systems indicating whenever a flow arrives.

Most of our systems have timers to activate surface scum removal at certain intervals. All plastic parts are lubricated by tank water.

• The scumpipes are made in stainless steel AISI304 with a design life starting from less than 20y and above.
• Industrial plants with high corrosion environment or seawater treatment plants are all available through higher steel grades such as AISI316L or EN1.4547
