Gravity Belt Thickner Information
The EMO Gravity Belt Thickener is engineered for the continuous mechanical thickening of municipal and industrial sludge, reducing sludge volume by a factor of four or more. With its low energy and polymer consumption, stainless steel construction, and minimal maintenance requirements, the GBT is a reliable and efficient solution for high-capacity sludge treatment operations.
Key Applications:
-
Final Thickening Stage: Increases sludge dry solids (DS) concentration to 6–8%, effectively replacing conventional static thickeners or flotation systems.
-
Pre-Dewatering: Functions in-line with a Belt Filter Press to enhance dewatering efficiency and performance.
-
Anaerobic Digestion Optimization: Reduces sludge volume prior to digestion, minimizing digester size and associated infrastructure costs.
Designed for installations processing up to 200 m³/h of raw sludge per unit, the EMO GBT is ideal for large-scale treatment plants requiring high performance under demanding conditions.

Areas of use
The Gravity Belt Thickener can be used as:
• Final step to increase the sludge DS concentration to 6-8%. Therefore, replacing conventional gravity static thickener f lotation system.
• Pre-dewatering stage when combined in-line with a Belt Filer Press to optimize the Belt
Filter Press operation and performance.
• Sludge volume reduction before anaerobic digestion process to reduce digester size.
