Thickener
With units of up to 100 m in diameter having been installed, the benefits of our DELKOR conventional, high-rate, high-density and paste thickeners include their low capital cost, smaller footprint, effective use of flocculants and advanced automation.
We are able to provide a range of solutions resulting in the most suitable and efficient sedimentation solution for your operations. From an upgrade on an existing thickener with its high performance feedwells through to a full turnkey supply of the design, fabrication and supervision of installation. Our specialists are ready to assist you throughout the entire process - from the conceptual stage including test work, equipment selection and sizing, right through to the planning, engineering, commissioning and operational phases of a project.
Sedimentation
Catering to all your process requirements
Paste
We are able to provide paste thickeners up to 34 m in diameter with drives in excess of 10 mNm of torque.
High Density
For applications requiring high water recovery, but without the process and pumping issues associated with paste thickeners, our high density thickeners from 1 m to 99 m in diameter can be supplied.
High Throughput
As a pioneer in high rate thickening, our installed base of hundreds of successfully operating units around the world provides you with the confidence that, “it pays to talk to a specialist!”
In instances where water quality and clarity is paramount, our range of clarifiers and Pinned Bed Clarifiers (PBCs) achieve low Total Suspended Solid (TSS) or clarities all the way down to 20 ppm.
Clarity
A range of standout features that you can rely on
Feedwell Design
By employing Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modelling, test work and our experience across more than 35 years of thickener supply across 46 countries, we know what works and doesn’t!
Our latest generation feedwell design was released in 2017
Boasting improved flocculation together with flocculent and slurry kinetics
Lower operational costs

Shear Thinning
An important option for the operation of a paste thickener.
Our newly developed shear thinning system imparts energy efficiently in a well-controlled environment into highly viscous and high yield stress slurries in order to improve their pumpability.
Our DELKOR shear thinning system can also be easily retrofitted into an existing thickener, as well as incorporated into new machines.
