What is the structure of slurry treatment equipment, and what are the functions of its individual components? Let’s take a brief look together below.

1. Rack. Primarily used to support and assemble Mud treatment equipment A carrier platform for the various components within.

2. Overflow pipe assembly. This assembly is responsible for maintaining the overall hydraulic balance of the mud storage tank, ensuring that any excess mud entering the tank is promptly discharged to prevent overflow during operation of the mud treatment system.

3. Ladder. Installed on both sides of the main frame to facilitate inspection and maintenance of the mud treatment equipment.

4. Slurry storage tank. Equipped with a designated safety volume to ensure a steady slurry supply for the operation of the slurry pump unit.

5. Vibrating screen. This equipment combines double-layer separation with vibrating-screen functionality to remove all foreign matter larger than 2 mm in diameter. The second layer is a fine-screening section, which vibrates the concentrated slurry—rich in solid particles separated by the hydrocyclone—to dewater it, ensuring that the moisture content of the waste residue discharged from the fine-screening section remains stable at 30%.

6. Primary feed device. This device is where the waste slurry enters. Mud treatment equipment As the first-stage equipment, it is directly connected via a concrete delivery pipe to the slurry pump that the client can bring to the construction site, enabling the waste slurry from the site to first enter the coarse-screening layer of the vibratory screen for separation. This constitutes a critical control mechanism for ensuring stable feed to the coarse-screening layer.

7. Cyclone separator. It can perform solid–liquid separation of solid particles with a diameter of 0.06 mm or greater. The underflow outlet of the cyclone separator is positioned above the fine-screen layer of the vibrating screen, so that the concentrated slurry separated by the cyclone can be directly discharged onto the coarse-screen layer.

8. Cyclone overflow pipe: a piping system that conveys the clarified supernatant separated by the cyclone to the intermediate storage tank.

9. Intermediate Storage Tank. This unit is divided into a front section and a rear section. The front section at the bottom of the tank is equipped with a make-up liquid inlet that connects to the slurry storage tank, enabling the return of the clarified supernatant separated by the hydrocyclone back to the slurry storage tank when the slurry level there is insufficient. This establishes an internal circulation loop for the slurry treatment system, thereby preventing the slurry pump from running dry. The rear section of the intermediate storage tank serves to decelerate and buffer the rapidly ejected purified supernatant before it is discharged through the tail outlet, thus ensuring that the treated, purified supernatant—used in the sustainable recirculation system—is properly removed without affecting the equipment.

10. Cyclone feed pipe. A pressure-rated pipeline that connects the slurry pump unit to the cyclone, characterized by resistance to acid and alkali corrosion as well as excellent wear resistance.

11. Slurry pump unit. This core power assembly consists of a 45 kW three-phase asynchronous motor and a slurry pump, with belt drive as the transmission method. The mud separator is priced competitively and can effectively accommodate varying transmission loads across different slurry concentrations. The drive connection is easy to assemble, and maintenance is straightforward.

12. Tail discharge outlet. Connected to the rear section of the intermediate storage tank, this device allows the mud treatment equipment to adjust the tail discharge outlet within a 180-degree range according to on-site slurry discharge requirements, thereby facilitating customer operations.

13. Backflow pipe assembly. This controllable pipeline is connected between the mud pump and the mud storage tank. When the slurry concentration in the storage tank is high, the control valve of the backflow pipe assembly can be opened to flush and agitate the slurry in the tank, thereby preventing sedimentation from forming.

14. Discharge outlet. A pipeline at the bottom of the slurry storage tank is equipped with a butterfly valve; when the slurry treatment system is not in use, the valve can be opened to completely drain the slurry from the storage tank.

15) Electrical control cabinet. The entire machine features integrated start-up and control, and the cabinet itself meets IP55 protection standards, ensuring excellent performance in pile foundation construction under various environmental conditions.
