Lamella settlers are basically cross flow plate separators designed for removal of settleable solids.The water containing solids flows in a horizontal direction between the closely spaced plates in the plate pack. Completely laminar flow conditions are established while water flows across the plate pack from inlet to the outlet side.
Solids with the higher density than the carrier fluid will settle down into the sludge Compartment of the seprator, which is a sloped compartment to facilitate removal of the solid particles. The number and size of the plate is governed by the water flow rate and the settling. The number and size of the plate is governed by the water flow rate and the settling velocity of the solid, which in turn are proportional to the diameter of the solids to be settled.

The distance between the plates is depending upon the concentration of the solids Sludge in the raw water. The plate distance can be varied, usually between 20 and 50mm, to allow for the different sizes of the settling particles, and to prevent clogging of the plate packs.The systems are fabricated in the mild steel and other materials are available on request.All K-Pack separators are custom built with respect to the number of plates in the pack,the length of the plate distance between the plate and the plate incline.
