Fishers,IN This town's first installation of a RapidFloc Mixer was on a new Somat Screw Press. After a side by side demonstration proved the superiority of the RapidFloc Mixer, the utility returned the Rotary Drum Thickner originally providied as part of the equipment package, resulting in a credit of $23,000.00.
Because of this success, when Fishers bought an Ashbrook-Simon-Hartley Gravity Belt Thickner, they insisted on installing a RapidFloc Mixer inline. Ashbrook subsequently withdrew their performance guarantee. The plant superintendent indicates the system operation with the RapidFloc substantially exceeds the engineer's design criteria and the manufacturer's performance standard. The utility intends to add(2) more RapidFloc units to be used with existing Belt Filter Presses.
