The Peak auger tank features a patented settling tank with sloped walls, which aids in the separation and accumulation of flocculated solids, and transverse baffles, which ensure maximum retention time for solid separation. This enables centrifuges to operate at maximum efficiency and lessens abrasion on pumps, motors and drill string.
