Overview of MONSOON® Paddle-Wheel Aerators
MONSOON® Paddle-Wheel Aerators are designed for superior aeration efficiency in water treatment, essential for optimal aerobic conditions and wastewater management. Their high oxygen transfer and powerful mixing abilities ensure the effective distribution of oxygen and microorganisms, improving treatment uniformity and compliance.
MONSOON Paddle-Wheel Aerators Features
Top-quality bearings, grit-resistant seals, an extra-large gear reducer, and foam-filled floats make every MONSOON floating paddle-wheel aerator safe and dependable. Stainless steel replaceable shafts bolt onto a torque tube, providing exact alignment and maximizing the shaft bearing life. Splash shields prevent excessive soaking of bearings, gear reducer, and motor for greater reliability. We factory test each MONSOON aerator before shipment to ensure the equipment meets stringent specifications.

How the MONSOON Paddle-Wheel Aerator Works
The rotating blades turn at 40 to 80 rpm and scoop water into the air, breaking the water droplets into a fine mist and combining them with air to generate high levels of oxygen transfer.
The horizontal pumping action then pushes the highly aerated water out into the basin while drawing water from deep within and behind the MONSOON aerator, resulting in extremely high oxygen transfer conditions.
The MONSOON paddle-wheel aerator functions well in lagoons, oxidation ditches, and equalization basins.
