WesTech - Deep Bed™ Paste Thickener

The original concept of the deep cone thickener was developed in the 1960's using a steep angled cone and thickener bed to increase underflow density. Over the years, this thickening technology has evolved to produce a non-settling solids suspension with underflow concentrations much higher than what is produced with conventional or high rate thickeners. WesTech's Deep Bed™ Paste Thickener is the latest advancement in the evolution of this style of thickener.
