A sand washing machine, also known as a sand washer, is an essential piece of equipment used in various industries to remove impurities such as dust, clay, silt, and other unwanted particles from sand. It is a crucial component in aggregate processing plants, quarries, and mining operations to improve the quality and market value of final sand products. By effectively cleaning and dehydrating sand, it ensures the material meets strict specifications for construction and industrial use.
The working principle of a sand washer is based on the combined action of water, mechanical agitation, and screw propulsion. Here’s a simplified breakdown of the process:
Feeding: The raw, unwashed sand is fed into the washing trough or tub of the machine.
Agitation and Washing: As the machine operates, an impeller or screw rotates, vigorously stirring the sand-water mixture. This action disintegrates clay lumps and separates the impurities from the sand granules.
Separation: The lighter impurities (like clay and silt) are suspended in the water and overflow from the weirs of the trough.
Dehydration and Removal: The clean, washed sand particles, being heavier, settle at the bottom. A screw conveyor then lifts the clean sand out of the water bath, allowing for partial dehydration as the water drains away during the lifting process.
Discharge: The final, clean, and high-quality sand is discharged from the output chute.
This efficient process ensures a low fines loss and a consistently clean product.
