Rapid Rate Thickeners

Robust, reliable, proven design and superior quality gives KAVISHA/ VMIX the edge. VMix has built its strength on a complete understanding of your process requirements. Sizes of our installed base of thickeners range from diameters of 1 meter to 100 meters. Primary design parameters are to offer efficient and reliable operation.

Major features only available from KAVISHA-VMix Thickeners:

  1. Innovative feed dilution and supernatant cleaning device, using VMix SX pumper technology
  2. A superior and distinctive lifting device that uses a suitably designed cylinder and is capable of lifting fully loaded rakes. This component offers strength and stability. It simplifies the process and removes any operational issues typically experienced during the raising and lowering of rakes.
  3. Thickener sizing can be confirmed by in house testing in our Laboratory using your particular slurry or ore samples

  2. Innovative feed dilution and supernatant cleaning device, using VMix SX pumper technology
  3. A superior and distinctive lifting device that uses a single cylinder and is capable of lifting fully loaded rakes. This component offers strength and stability. It simplifies the process and removes any operational issues typically experienced during the raising and lowering of rakes.
  4. We have never had a technical comeback or serious process or operational issue with any of the Thickeners we have installed. Some of our units have been operating for nearly a decade without any maintenance or call outs.
  5. Professional engineering design with full auditable calculations, our designs have been audited and passed by Anglo American Technical Division.

Some of our thickener design considerations include:

  1. High torque planetary gearbox
  2. Accurate torque measurement including a ‘high torque’ audible and visual alarm with ‘over torque trip’ for mechanism protection in the event of ultra-high torque conditions
  3. High efficiency feed well with adjustable feed dilution system
  4. Ability to monitor and/or operate via SCADA, if so desired
  5. Multiple flocculent addition points for easy optimization
  6. Half span walkway for easy access
