Vulcan Industries
About
Founded in 1975 and headquartered in Iowa, Vulcan Industries designs and fabricates customized wastewater screening, screenings handling, grit handling, and sludge thickening equipment for municipal treatment plants, with over 900 installations worldwide. Every Vulcan product is built to order — the company emphasizes that no two treatment plants are identical, and their engineering team designs each unit from specification through fabrication. Vulcan's screening lineup includes the Mensch Severe Duty bar screen for heavy-duty headworks protection, the Model VMR Multi-Rake Screen for high-capacity fine screening, the Model VKR Knuckle-Rake Bar Screen for reliable coarse screening, the Model ESR Stair Screen for step-type solids lifting, the Liqui-Fuge LFP perforated rotary drum screen for fine screening, the Liqui-Fuge LFS wedge-wire rotary drum screen, and the Model SS Stato passive static screen. For screenings handling, Vulcan offers the Model EWP Washing Press for washing and compacting, the Model ESP Screw Press for dewatering, and the Model TF shaftless screw conveyor for material transport. Grit products include the Model ESK Grit Classifier and Model ESW-SRW Grit Washer. Sludge thickening is addressed by the Liqui-Fuge LFST Rotary Drum Thickener. All products are manufactured in the USA with an emphasis on rugged construction and long service life.
