The Apollo Sludge Thickener is a high-performance solid–liquid separation system engineered to increase the solids concentration in municipal and industrial sludge streams. By utilizing gravity settling and continuous agitation, the thickener effectively reduces the volume of free water in sludge, ensuring a more compact, process-ready output.
This results in optimized loading for downstream equipment such as centrifuges, filter presses, digesters, and sludge drying beds—significantly improving operational efficiency and reducing energy and disposal costs.
With a rugged design, high-torque drive, and enhanced thickening mechanisms, the Apollo Sludge Thickener provides long-term, reliable performance under demanding wastewater treatment conditions.
