Abstract
The invention relates to a horizontal agitator for producing a flow in a clarifier, a submersible motor (1) and a propeller (3) drivingly connected thereto forming an assembly unit (M), wherein a receiving portion (A) for removably attaching the assembly unit (M) is provided and can be supported on the bottom (Bo) of the clarifier, and wherein a guide for guiding the assembly unit (M) along a substantially vertical movement path between a surfacing position above a maximum nominal sewage level (N) defined for the clarifier and the receiving portion (A) is provided. In order to improve the efficiency of the horizontal agitator and to reduce complexity of manufacture, the guide is formed by at least one first cable (S) extending between the surfacing position and the receiving portion (A).
Claims7
A horizontal agitator for producing a flow in a clarifier, comprising:
- a submersible motor;
- a propeller drivingly connected to the submersible motor to form an assembly unit;
- a receiving portion for removably attaching to the assembly unit provided and supported on a bottom of the clarifier, and
- a guide for guiding the assembly unit along a substantially vertical movement path between a surfacing position above a maximum nominal sewage level defined for the clarifier and the receiving portion,
- wherein the guide is formed by at least one first cable extending between the surfacing position and the receiving portion,
- the first cable is guided about a first return arrangement provided on the receiving portion,
- an end of the first cable is attached to the assembly unit,
- a guide provided on the assembly unit surrounds the first cable,
- in order to move the assembly unit along the first cable, a second cable is provided,
- an end of the second cable is attached to the assembly unit, and
- the first and the second cable are combined to form a circulating cable, which is guided above the surfacing position about a second return arrangement.
