Overview
Sand Washing Plant Introduction
This 200-ton-per-hour river sand washing production line efficiently processes raw sand through a streamlined system consisting of a feed belt conveyor that transports material to a high-capacity bucket wheel sand washer, where thorough scrubbing and cleaning remove impurities, followed by a discharge belt conveyor that delivers the washed sand to the next stage. The compact yet robust setup ensures consistent output of high-quality construction-grade sand while maintaining low water consumption and reliable operation. The bucket wheel washer's gentle tumbling action effectively separates clay and organic matter without excessive wear on sand particles, making this continuous washing line ideal for producing clean, uniformly graded sand from river deposits.
Sand Washing Plant Application
This 200-ton-per-hour river sand washing production line is widely used in construction, concrete production, and infrastructure projects to process raw river sand into high-quality construction-grade material. It serves sand and gravel plants, precast concrete factories, and ready-mix concrete facilities by effectively removing clay, silt, and organic impurities from natural river sand. The system is particularly valuable for producing standard-compliant sand for building foundations, road bases, and architectural mortar, while its water-efficient design makes it suitable for mining operations, river dredging projects, and environmental remediation sites that require sustainable processing of alluvial deposits. The washed output meets technical specifications for modern engineering applications including bridge construction, land reclamation, and industrial flooring systems.
Sand Washing Plant Working principle
1.Feeding Raw Material
The raw river sand is continuously fed into the production line at a rate of 200 tons per hour via the first belt conveyor, ensuring a steady supply to the washing system.
2.Washing Process in Bucket Wheel Sand Washer
The sand is then transferred into the bucket wheel sand washer, where rotating buckets lift and tumble the material while water sprays remove impurities such as clay, silt, and organic debris. The gentle agitation ensures effective cleaning without excessive particle breakdown.
3.Separation of Fines & Dirty Water
During washing, fine particles and contaminants are flushed out with the wastewater, which typically flows into a settling pond or recycling system for water treatment and reuse, minimizing environmental impact.
4.Discharge of Cleaned Sand
The washed sand is discharged onto the second belt conveyor, which transports it to storage or the next processing stage, such as screening or drying, depending on the required final product specifications.
5.Continuous Operation & Efficiency
The entire process operates seamlessly in a closed-loop system, ensuring high productivity (200 t/h) while maintaining low water and energy consumption for cost-effective sand cleaning.
