SLUDGE CONVEYORS | WEST RIVER CONVEYORS

Sludge conveyors move materials with a high water/low solids content. They’re often used between a filter press and a dryer or dryer and dumpster. Applications are found in mining, for handling drilling mud and dewatered grit, hemp oil extraction, and for transporting biosolids in wastewater treatment plants.

A sludge conveyor is more cost-effective than a screw conveyor for these types of material. Energy costs per ton are lower and a complete system will cost less.

Sludge conveyors are also more adaptable than screw conveyors. They can move material up and down inclines and even around corners. They can handle sludge with solids content as low as 10% and materials that would stick to a screw.

West River Conveyors has extensive expertise in engineering belt conveyors for difficult materials and challenging conditions. We design and build sludge conveyors with quality materials and components from leading manufacturers that will exceed your expectations.
