    AltaFlo ™

    Ultra High-Rate Thickener

    ®
    AltaFlo™ Ultra High-Rate Thickener
    The AltaFlo™ ultra high-rate thickener is a rake-less thickener that provides
    mixing, flocculation and internal dilution, followed by clarification and positive
    sludge collection and removal, all in a single tank. The principles of dewatering
    have been further optimized to a new design that thickens slurries at an even
    higher rate than a typical high-rate thickener.

    Why Choose an AltaFlo™?


    The AltaFloTM ultra high-rate thickener provides the
    highest throughput per square meter of any thickener
    on the market. With excellent overflow clarity and
    underflow density similar to or better than conventional
    high-rate thickeners, the AltaFloTM has a unique
    place in the market. The small footprint makes it
    an excellent choice when space is at a premium.
    AltaFloTM ultra high-rate thickeners perform well as
    tailings thickeners, in CCD circuits, as concentrate
    thickeners, and in leaching circuits. The low CAPEX
    economics of an AltaFloTM also make it a perfect
    solution for dewatering non-profit streams.

    The heart of any thickener or clarifier is the feedwell.


    The AltaFloTM utilizes the latest feedwell designs to
    ensure optimal flocculation of the solids. This,
    combined with its unique dewatering cones,
    provides the extraordinarily high throughput of the
    AltaFloTM. The innovative dewatering cones system
    provides rapid removal of water from the settling
    and compaction zone of the thickener. The AltaFloTM
    operates with typically the same flocculant con-
    sumption as compared to a high-rate thickener
    processing the same material.

    feedwell system. An inner chamber converts the feed
    energy into a concentric radial flow for optimal mixing of
    flocculent and solids in all areas of the main chamber. The
    main feedwell chamber then evenly distributes the feed into
    the sedimentation zone of the thickener.
