Parkson’s Hycor ThickTech Rotary Drum Thickener (RDT) is the industry leading sludge thickener with sludge volume reduction of 90% and a 98% capture rate. Parkson’s RDT has the lowest polymer usage on the market due to the design of its drum which creates a gentle swirling motion without breaking down the flow.

Dewatering takes place along a multi-zone drum cylinder. The zones can have different size mesh media to augment capture efficiency as the sludge moves along the length of the cylinder. Finer mesh is generally used in the feed end where the material is thinner, while downstream zones have larger openings to enhance water removal. Rings with adjustable ports control detention time in each zone.
