Abstract:
1. A device for thickening sludge carried along in waste water, comprising: a container having an upper portion including a ring channel constructed in a filter type manner to allow passage of clear water and restrain residual sludge particles, and a funnel-shaped section lower section for thickening sludge; a soil pipe arranged in the container to extend in a longitudinal direction and opening into the container through an inlet opening for introducing the waste water flow falling through the soil pipe; and a removal opening formed at a lower end of the funnel-shaped section for removing separated sludge particles from the container, characterized by a baffle arranged in proximally to the inlet opening, by which the waste water flow is deflected, characterized in that the soil pipe is guided such that it is longitudinally displaceable with respect to the container and is fixable with respect to the same, and a guiding member is arranged in the soil pipe and extending in the longitudinal direction of the soil pipe, to which spacer elements located between the soil pipe and the guiding member are assigned and which guides the sliding movement of the soil pipe relative to the container, and which carries the baffle and is longitudinally displaceable with respect to the container and the soil pipe and fixable with respect to the soil pipe.
