50 m³/h Lamella Gravity Settler for Drinking Water Treatment


The 50 m³/h lamella gravity settler is a high efficiency inclined plate sedimentation system designed for continuous solid liquid separation in water treatment processes. It improves settling performance by directing flow through multiple plate channels where particles naturally separate under gravity. The system provides stable clarification performance with low hydraulic retention time and compact structure. It is suitable for industrial and municipal users requiring consistent removal of suspended solids, oils, and grease under variable operating conditions.

50 m³/h Lamella Gravity Settler Product Introduction

The 50 m³/h lamella gravity settler is an inclined plate clarifier designed for efficient sedimentation in water and wastewater treatment systems. It uses a series of angled plates to increase effective settling area while maintaining a compact footprint. The system separates suspended solids, oils, and fine particles from influent streams through gravity-driven settling. It is commonly used as a primary or secondary clarification unit in industrial and municipal applications. The equipment is suitable for users requiring stable performance, low maintenance operation, and adaptable treatment capacity across variable water qualities.

Working Principle

Raw water enters the clarifier through a controlled inlet channel and is distributed evenly beneath the inclined plate assembly. As the flow moves upward between plates, suspended particles settle onto plate surfaces under gravity. Settled solids slide downward into a sludge hopper for collection and discharge. Clarified water continues rising and exits through an outlet channel, completing a continuous sedimentation and separation cycle.
