Screw Sand Washer

Screw Sand Washer

Capacity: 5-300 TPH
Feeding Size: 0.1-10 mm
Discharging Size: 0.1-10 mm
Handling Materials: Natural river sand, sea sand, gravel sand, etc.

Screw sand washer cleans and classifies sand (0.1–10 mm) by rotating spirals, removing ≤1% clay at 5–300 t/h. Ideal for river/artificial sand washing, it consumes 1–3 m³/t water with optional fine sand recovery. Avoid sticky clay >10 mm.

Advantages

Screw sand washer with high cleaning efficiency

01.

High Cleaning Efficiency

Removes 95%+ clay coatings from 0.1–10mm sand, achieving ≤1% residual impurities for construction-grade material.

Screw sand washer with water-saving design

02.

Water Conservation

Uses only 1–3 m³ water per ton (vs. 5 m³ in traditional methods) with closed-loop recycling systems.

Screw sand washer with washing and grading function

03.

Dual Functionality

Combines washing and grading in one unit, outputting classified sand (e.g., 0.1–3mm or 1–5mm) directly.

Screw sand washer with low-maintenance design

04.

Low Maintenance

Wear-resistant manganese steel spirals last 2–3x longer than standard designs in abrasive silica sand applications.

How Does A Screw Sand Washer Work

1. Slurry Feeding: Sand-clay mixture enters the inclined trough, where rotating spirals agitate the material.

2. Mechanical Scrubbing: Sand particles collide under spiral motion, dislodging surface clay while counter-current water flushes impurities.

3. Hydraulic Classification: Clean sand rises along the spiral grooves due to density, while clay slurry overflows the weir at the trough’s lower end.

4. Dehydrated Discharge: Washed sand exits the upper chute (optionally dewatered further via screens), completing the cycle.
