Tuke & Bell - Horizontal Aerators

The Tuke & Bell Horizontal Aerator consists of a horizontal rotating shaft onto which either aeration tines or beater bars are fitted.  The shaft is mounted between bearings and can either be supported by the concrete tank or suspended from a steel bridge.  A flexible coupling transmits torque from the drive gearbox to the aerator rotor.  Immersion of the rotor is typically controlled by altering the water level in the tank.
