It is aimed primarily at the municipal waste water treatment plants or for use in larger industrial waste water facilities.
The UCD 345 is the fifth member of the new CD Force family and its performance approaches the large 400mm dia machines while being very compact.
As with all the range the new UCD 345 has been designed with customer benefits in mind including improved price/performance ratio, greater ease of access for maintenance and cleaning, user friendly operation and lower energy consumption.
The entire CD family features the "Twin Shell" concept, which means that the product discharge catchers and housings are not connected to each other but form self contained units: this translates to lower noise levels and less air circulation.
As with other CD Force units, the UCD 345 has the main motor located beneath the housing while the secondary motor is mounted on the frame.
The V belt drives operate without an intermediate clutch.
The compact design facilitates fast replacement of bowl, scroll and bowl bearings, either individually or as complete assemblies.
Exchanging a regulating plate only takes a few minutes.
The new CD345 has been designed for minimum downtime and ease of service and with a significant reduction in the number of parts.
These state of the art decanters offer trouble free operation in municipal and industrial waste water treatment.
