McLanahan Thickeners

The benefits of Thickeners can vary from user to user depending on the producer’s needs and the industry. For instance, Thickeners can be used in locations where water is in short supply or very expensive, providing immediately reusable process water back to the plant. They can also be used to reduce the size of, or possibly eliminate, settling ponds. In some industries, they are used as Clarifiers to remove minerals and fines from water.

McLanahan produces various models based on each customer’s specific processing need, including High-Rate and High-Density Thickeners, as well as Paste Thickeners.
