AKW Apparate + Verfahren GmbH
About
AKW Apparate + Verfahren GmbH, established in 1963 and based in Hirschau, Bavaria, is a German manufacturer and process engineering firm with over 60 years of expertise in wet mechanical mineral processing and environmental technology. The company designs, manufactures, and commissions both individual equipment and complete turnkey plants following its Test-Plan-Realize-Care methodology. AKW's product range is built around its AKA-series equipment line: AKA-VORTEX hydrocyclones for separation and classification, AKA-SCREEN fine wet classification screens, AKA-JIG density-based jig separators, AKA-TRIT attrition cells for surface cleaning, AKA-SET high-performance thickeners, AKA-LAM lamella thickeners for high-organic sludge, AKA-DRUM washing drums, AKA-SORTER and AKA-SIZER upstream classifiers, AKA-MULTISIZER multi-fraction classifiers, AKA-SPIN spiral concentrators, AKA-SPIDER hydrocyclone distributor manifolds, and AKOREL free-fall classifiers. Their StaReSa (Stationary Residue Treatment) plants treat blast furnace sludge, red mud, and other industrial residues. AKW also delivers glass sand processing, silica sand beneficiation, process water recycling systems, and phosphate and potash processing solutions. The company operates globally with installations across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.
Key Products
Hydrocyclone systems for wet-mechanical separation, classifying, and sorting processes, used for desanding, degritting, and fines removal in mineral and waste streams.
Screening systems that produce sharp cut-size fractions from wet material streams, used for fine particle separation in mineral processing and water treatment.
Density-based separation equipment that removes impurities from raw materials and industrial wastes using pulsating water flow for sorting by specific gravity.
Surface cleaning equipment that scrubs sandy materials contaminated with impurities or pollutants through particle-on-particle attrition in a wet process.
Thickening equipment for mainstream process water treatment and slurry thickening, reducing volume by settling solids and recovering clarified water.
High-efficiency lamella thickening systems for sludge with high organic content, using inclined plates to accelerate settling and improve throughput.
Rotary washing drums for efficient washing and suspending of various raw materials, removing surface contaminants through scrubbing action.
Density sorting equipment for fine-grained bulk solids using upstream water flow to separate materials by specific gravity difference.
Distribution manifolds that combine multiple AKA-VORTEX hydrocyclones to achieve desired throughput capacities for large-scale processing.
Gravity spiral separators for concentrating materials in the 60 microm to 2mm size range, using density differences to separate heavy and light fractions.
Upstream classifier producing products with sharp cut sizes in the 0.1 to 0.8mm range, used for fine classification of mineral feedstocks.
Horizontal up-current classifier that produces multiple fractions from a single mineral feedstock, enabling simultaneous multi-product output.
Free-fall classification equipment that corrects the sieve curve of raw sand in the 0-4mm range, removing oversized or undersized particles.
Turnkey plant design, manufacturing, installation, commissioning, and training services for wet mechanical processing facilities, from laboratory testing through full-scale operation.
