Automated Polymer Make-Up

Our polymer preparation stations automate the entire process of polymer activation, from dry powder or liquid concentrate to ready-to-use solution, ensuring optimal performance and eliminating manual handling.

Three-Stage Mixing

Three-chamber design with separate mixing, maturation, and storage zones ensures complete polymer activation.

Precise Concentration Control

Automated powder or liquid feed with precise water metering maintains consistent solution strength.

Age-Dependent Discharge

Intelligent control ensures polymer is fully matured before discharge, maximising effectiveness.

Low Shear Design

Gentle mixing prevents polymer chain breakage, preserving flocculation performance.

Polymer Activation Process

1

Dosing

Powder or liquid polymer is precisely metered into the system via automated feeders or pumps

2

Wetting

Polymer particles are immediately wetted with water to prevent agglomeration and ensure dispersion

3

Mixing

Gentle but thorough mixing in the first chamber begins the hydration process

4

Maturation

Polymer solution ages in the maturation chamber to achieve full activation

5

Storage

Matured solution is stored ready for dosing, with continuous gentle agitation

Advantages of Automated Polymer Preparation

Optimised Performance

Proper polymer activation ensures maximum flocculation efficiency, reducing polymer consumption by 15-30%.

Operator Safety

Enclosed systems eliminate dust exposure and manual handling of concentrated chemicals.

Reduced Labour

Fully automated operation minimises operator intervention and monitoring requirements.

Consistent Quality

Precise control ensures every batch has the same concentration and activation level.

Reduced Waste

Properly activated polymer works more effectively, reducing overdosing and waste.

Flexible Sizing

Modular design allows systems to be sized for current needs with expansion capability.
