SLURRY
TO CLEAN
WATER

Mudhens can be used for most slurry water applications. Originally designed for the demanding world of concrete – options include pH adjustment, larger pumps, slab carts, and trailer mounts. The equipment can be configured and utilized in many ways:

It pulls slurry water out of your containers, from a pool or any vessel
It cleans the water and discharges it to drain or back into a container for reuse in your equipment.

Whatever your needs – wheel it into an elevator – or through a doorway into your work area. Mudhens can be used just to clean a dumpster, pit, or water tank and re-circulate the water until the vessel is clean.

Handling Concrete Slurry Concrete slurry water filtration never has been faster, or more reliable. The MudHen series of portable concrete slurry water systems have been designed for multiple modes of operation. Equipped with a standard 10 foot hose to suck slurry water out of any container. A standard garden hose connection on the output allows you to send the water to drain, to reuse the water, or to use the clean water to wash down your equipment. Compacted debris is formed into a cakes that can be easily disposed of using optional trays, bags, wheel barrel or garbage bag/can.

Creating Concrete Slurry

Processed Slurry - Volumes of sediment compressed into dry, caked plates.

Processed Slurry - Sediment is removed to discharge clear water.

Products (4) - Overview

Mini

Truly portable concrete slurry water system. Weighing about 457lbs, the unit is designed with pneumatic wheels installed in a two-wheeler fashion (not shown).

The concrete slurry system can go just about wherever it is needed. Through unimproved jobsites you can take it right where you need it.

Attach a portable air compressor to the Mudhem and process water as fast as you make it – giving you nice compacted slabs of waste and clean water for reuse or disposal.

MH 1

The MUD HEN 1 is the most effective portable slurry water recycling system made. It can fit in an elevator, through a standard 36” door and on a tommy gate lift. Over 200 gallons per hour of slurry water can be treated – cleaning takes less than 3 minutes. Filter slabs are easily disposed.

The MH1 needs a minimum of 8 scfm of air to produce between 4 & 6 gallons per minute of clarified water. The debris containment plates holds 1 cubic foot of solids.

MH 2

The MH2 has twice the collection capacity of the MH1 and provides twice clean water for production. The system can be designed with a portable sludge slab cart or you can use a wheel barrel or other container for removing the sludge slabs.

The MH2 needs a minimum of 8 scfm of air to produce between 8 & 12 gallons per minute of clarified water. The debris containment plates holds 2 cubic feet of solids.

MH 4

The MH4 is the concrete slurry water recycling king! For large job sites requiring a high volume of slurry to be processed efficiently and effectively. Like the MH2, the MH4 can be designed with a portable sludge slab cart or you can use a wheel barrel or other container for removing the sludge slabs.

The MH4 needs a minimum of 12 scfm of air to produce between 14 & 20 gallons per minute of clarified water. The debris containment plates holds 3.5 cubic feet of solids.

ELIMINATE REGULATORY CONCERNS

With increased EPA enforcement of industrial suspended solids many contractors have been hit recently with large fines. Most contractors are unwilling to carry the huge financial risk and liability associated with not cleaning their water. Some contractors have left the efficiency of wet grinding and face new operational difficulties with dry grinding.

The MudHen eliminates your financial liability over regulatory concerns potentially saving you thousands of dollars, allowing for water reuse and recycling on site.

EASY TO USE

MudHens are portable and supported by large casters to easily move the unit around a jobsite. The machines can be pushed onto the job site by hand, they don’t require a forklift. Simple mechanical controls and heavy duty construction are used to eliminate employee errors and problems. Concrete water recycling was never so easy!.

Mudhen Double Wall Diaphragm Pump.

RELIABLE --- MADE IN THE USA

The concrete water system is built right here in the USA. All components are parts are interchangeable with standard components that are easily found. No more waiting for service and parts that originate from outside North America. The MudHen concrete water system is built to last, and when service is needed – components are carefully selected to minimize the downtime. The MudHen has the lowest cost of ownership for maintaining.

FAST & PRODUCTIVE

The MudHen concrete water system comes standard at over 200 gallons per hour of processing capacity and can be easily accessorized with a larger compressor to handle over 500 gallons per hour of capacity. The machines can outpace most teams of concrete professionals that saw and grind with industrial equipment which benefits your staff and customers.

Applications

MudHens can solve a variety of slurry water issues for different applications. They are commonly used on stone, ceramic and glass slurry as well as other slurries that have a high quantity of suspended solids.

Slurry waters can be effectively treated to be EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) compliant. Pump trucks, stone and tile saws, cement and mortar mixers along with industrial slurries can be treated to remove the vast majority of suspended solids. The pH can easily be treated to meet EPA requirements.

The recycled water can be reused on site to reduce water consumption. The sludge is collected and compacted for easy disposal.

For years concrete wash out slurry has been a challenge. With a MudHen concrete washout system compliance has never been easier. All MudHen products are made in the USA.

Application: Concrete Washout We have portable solutions to treat concrete washout on site including as well as the following harmful sediments: Concrete, Terrazzo, Paint, Stucco, Mortars, Grout, Sone, Tile, Glass.

Sizing - What size filter press do I need?

If you’re working in an industry where wastewater is a byproduct, you’ll need an effective method to treat the slurry water. A filter press is the perfect solution, but it isn’t just one size fits all.

When choosing a filter press, you have countless options and setups to choose from to fit your needs. Choose from fully integrated components designed to match your needs and specifications as well as optional automated flush valves, fully customizable control panels, screens and mixers, and automated pH or disinfectant feed systems.

It’s important to consider size before investing in a filter press. It’s easy to simply choose the biggest option and assume the filtration process will go smoothly as long as it isn’t overloaded. Bigger is not always better, so you should choose a filter press after carefully considering your needs and the application you are using it for.

In certain applications, cake and water quality can drop if the press is oversized. Additionally, a filter press than is too large can make your costs rise, not only with the initial purchase but when running the machine. Thoughtful design and pairing with other technologies can reduce the size and overall cost of your purchase.

To determine what size filter press you need, two main factors are considered:
--- The quantity of solids being filtered and the gallons per minute flow ---

If you only need to filter a few gallons per minute, a smaller filter press plant should do the trick. If your gallons per minute flow is much higher — for instance, 100 gallons of water per minute — you’ll want to go with a large filter press.

If you have any questions and are pondering what size or additional components you may need, call USA Dust Guard --- we'll be happy to assist you.
