Travelling Grit Dredger – Constant-Velocity Channel
When the preferred grit plant arrangement is in the form of parallel constant velocity channels, the automatic method of settled grit removal is with a travelling bridge type pump dredging machine.
The design of the dredger type unit reflects clients’ specifications but normally includes a travelling bridge supported on flanged bogie wheels running on a rail-track positioned on the concrete coping wall of the constant velocity channels. The bridge is fitted with grit dredging pumps of either the self-priming centrifugal or submersible type. These are arranged to discharge lifted grit into a bridge mounted cyclone washer and storage hopper or, alternatively, into a side concrete launder. This provides gravity flow to a remote grit classifying system, of the reciprocating rake or screw classifier type.
