    The ALDRUM Drum Thickener is a mechanical sludge thickening system that uses a slowly rotating drum filter to convey flocculated sludge. As the sludge remains in the drum, the water phase passes through the filter cloth, allowing the sludge concentration to be regulated by adjusting the drum's feed rate, angle, and speed. ALDRUM Drum Thickeners are available in different sizes and can be optimized for individual needs by varying operating parameters and filter cloth selection. They are designed to gently handle nearly all sludge types while achieving high water recovery and solid content in the thickened sludge.

    drum using either potable water, final effluent or treated fil- spraying interval. There is also a wide range of different filter

    The ALDRUM Drum Thickener comes in four sizes. They are


    all available as separate components or as complete sludge
    thickening modules. The ALDRUM Drum Thickener is
    designed to handle sludge extremely gently, which means it
    gives exceptionally high recovery for nearly all sludge types.
