How does the sludge hopper become the "central nervous system" of material flow in the dewatering room?

The sludge hopper runs through the storage, buffering, transportation and other links of sludge treatment, and is the core equipment to ensure the efficient and stable operation of the dewatering system. As a temporary storage container for dewatered sludge, the sludge hopper can collect mud cakes treated by equipment such as belt filter press, centrifuge or plate and frame filter press. Through the control of the bottom fan-shaped door or crocodile valve, the sludge hopper can discharge the material to the transport vehicle in a centralized manner after being full, avoiding frequent small-batch transfers and improving transportation efficiency. The sludge hopper acts as a buffer between the dewatering equipment and the transportation link. Its volume design can balance the continuous production of the dewatering equipment with the intermittent transportation needs, and prevent the dewatering machine from shutting down due to transportation delays. The closed structure of the sludge hopper effectively prevents the spread of odor and secondary pollution of the dewatered sludge. Some models also integrate a water level sensor, which automatically triggers an alarm when the sludge is too high to avoid overflow accidents.

The sludge hopper is also adapted to a variety of dehydration processes through modular design -
Belt filter press: The mud cake is introduced into the hopper through a mud guide bucket or a screw conveyor to prevent the mud cake from scattering;
Centrifugal dehydrator: The sealing structure of the sludge hopper is used to reduce the dust generated by high-speed dehydration;
Plate and frame filter press: The reinforcement rib design at the bottom of the hopper body can withstand the impact of the mud cake falling and prevent deformation.
At the same time, its material selection meets the treatment needs of highly corrosive sludge such as chemical and electroplating.
