Deep Cone Paste Thickeners ®
Filter Cake
Dorr-Oliver Eimco has the most experience when it comes to paste thickening. Our Deep Cone Paste Thickeners produce underflow solids with a paste consistency and the highest solids concentration of any thickener on the market. Paste is a nonsegregating liquid/solid mixture with a yield stress and slump. The benefits of producing paste are considerable.
