Under the Hood
Engineered in a range of sizes to meet process demands, every Mega-FLOC (Vertical Paddle Wheel Flocculator) drive assembly (gear motor, drive stand weldment, chain coupling, thrust collar, radial thrust bearing, and drive shaft assembly) is designed and built to uncompromising standards. The result is powerful, reliable, uninterrupted performance. To protect the gear reducer and ensure the longest possible component life, a radial thrust bearing takes the brunt of all loads (vertical, axial, radial, etc.). This commonsense design and accessibility makes operational and maintenance procedures a breeze.
Bridge Work
To minimize the need for fabrication subcontractors, every JMS Mega-FLOC (Vertical Paddle Wheel Flocculator) is designed, manufactured, assembled and tested as a complete bridge-mounted unit. The Vertical Paddle Wheel Flocculator/bridge assembly, identical in design to hundreds already in place at locations throughout the U.S., ships fully assembled and ready for installation.
