DUO Equipment can offer efficient water management solutions through our partnership with Italian press manufacturer Tecnoidea. As a world leader Tecnoidea is at the ‘cutting edge' of water and silt management.
Correct water management is essential to any company that uses water in its production cycles -when water is properly administered; the result is lower consumption of both water and energy, with consequent increases in production efficiency. DUO Equipment have developed a water management and silt control system for aggregate processing which is fully compliant with all current environmental and health and safety legislation and completely eliminates the necessity of lagoons.
This system is based upon material being fed to the aggregate washing plant to remove the silt. In the past these silts would have been stored on site and moved several times until they had drained sufficiently to allow the solid material to be disposed to a landfill site. The cost of disposal to landfill means the less water that is contained within the silt the better.
Advantages:
- Fully compliant with all current environmental and health and safety legislation.
- Eliminates the necessity of lagoons.
- Water is purified to the anti-pollution standards.
- The purified water can be re-used.
- Significant reductions in water and energy costs.
- Sludge is compact, easily transportable and waterproof.
- Fully automatic operation.
- Minimal maintenance.
- A fully optimised production cycle-producing greater yield.
Additionally, we can also offer Gennaretti centrifugal systems for dewatering sludge. Variable drive models are available for processing sludge with changeable solids content, such as washing recycled aggregates.
When sizing any water treatment plant DUO Equipment would consider such factors as the silt content of the raw material, settlement rate, throughput and site drainage. Our systems can also be retro fitted to existing washing operations.
We are UK distributors for:
Tecnoidea - overhead & side beam plate presses.
