The more efficient feedwell design means that thickeners could operate close to the average flocculant settling rate measured during testwork. This is equivalent to saying that a traditional (current) thickener could be replaced with a thickener of almost half the area when utilising the RADFLOWTM feedwell.

High-rate thickeners are designed to provide roughly 12 times the throughput of conventional machines of similar size. The key features for high-capacity thickeners are the feedwell design and the feed slurry dilution method. Our patented E-Volute™ feedwell offers Computational …
Philip Lake reviews WesTech's EvenFlo® feedwell design for the even distribution of the feed slurry in order to provide the end user with the most economical thickener in terms of flocculant consumption and size.. Gravity thickeners concentrate suspended solids in minerals slurries. These slurries typically are introduced at the center of the tanks and allowed to thicken to the …
The thickener or clarifier is the major piece of equipment used to recover water in mineral and industrial processes. The one thing all thickeners have in common, the feedwell, is the core of every thickener's performance. A thickener relies on a feedwell for even distribution of solids and flocculation of suspended particles.

The dense Thickener solids are raked to the thickener's underflow cone and are removed via a slurry pump through the underflow pipe. Underflow slurry densities can vary based on the type of material being processed, size distribution of solids being settled, or other process factors but as a general rule, range from 35-50% solids by weight.
