Among them, the solid particles in the material settle to the bottom of the thickener under the action of gravity and are discharged from the thickener through the discharge pipe 9. During the use of the thickener, a large number of bubbles will be generated on the surface of the material. By setting the defoaming assembly 7, the liquid flows from the liquid supply part into the liquid delivery pipeline 70, and then flows from the liquid delivery pipeline 70 into a plurality of nozzles 73. The liquid is sprayed from the outlets of the plurality of nozzles 73 to the opening of the housing 1.

In this way, the solid particles in the material are difficult to adhere to the bubbles and settle to the bottom of the thickener under the action of gravity, thereby improving the sedimentation rate of the material and further improving the use effect of the thickener.
