Abstract
A sludge collection system operates in a submerged state at the bottom of a settling tank to remove sediment therefrom. The cable-driven sludge collection system utilizes a fabricated metal header wing formed in a triangular shape and connected to a central truck by a pivot pin. The header wings are supported on the floor of the settling tank by wheels to support the weight of the header wings. The front edge is open and unrestricted to allow the passage of the Zone IV sediment layer into the header wing, while the rearward, diagonally-oriented side edges of the header wings have elastomeric sweeps attached to prevent the sediment from passing out of the header wing and cause an accumulation of sediment at the rearward apex. The central truck includes pre-tensioned, spring-loaded connection plates for attachment to a cable drive mechanism for powering the movement of the truck and header wings.
