What Are the Requirements for a Sludge Scraper in a DAF Tank

  • Equipment Selection

    • Small rectangular DAF tanks usually adopt a chain-type scraper.

    • For large rectangular DAF tanks (recommended span ≤ 10 m), a bridge-type scraper is commonly used.

    • For circular DAF tanks (diameter 2–10 m), a planetary-type scraper is suitable.

  • Sludge Removal Efficiency

    • If large amounts of floating sludge cannot be removed in time, or if the scraping process disturbs the sludge layer excessively, the flotation efficiency will be affected.

    • Improper liquid level control or scraping sequence, as well as scraper travel speed being too fast, will also negatively impact performance.

  • Scraper Travel Speed

    • To ensure the scraper plate does not move faster than the sludge overflow rate into the collection trough, the scraper’s travel speed should be controlled at 50–100 mm/s.

  • Operation Time

    • The scraper’s operating time should be adjusted according to the actual sludge load.
