The sand washing machine is essential equipment for completing the washing and separation of artificial and natural sand. It can wash away amounts of stone powder and impurities in the mixed sand and improve the quality of the sand. Usually, a sand-making and washing plant consists of a stone crusher, sand-making machine, and sand-washing machine.
The sand-washing machine has wide applications in quarry gravel fields, mining, building materials, transportation, chemical industry, water conservancy and hydropower, and concrete mixing plants. It removes impurities covering the surface of sand and gravel while breaking the water vapor layer covering the sand particles to facilitate dehydration. This machine plays an essential role in quarry mining. Due to their different appearances and principles, there are spiral sand washing machines, wheel sand washing machines, etc.
Wheel sand washing machine
The wheel bucket sand washing machine is a new type equipment developed based on the situation of the domestic sand and gravel industry. It has the characteristics of high washing height, reasonable structure, and large output. During the sand washing process, with minimal sand loss, especially since its transmission parts are isolated from water and sand. Therefore, its failure rate is much lower than common sand washing machines. It is a good choice for upgrading and replacing the domestic mining industry. This machine has wide applications in material washing operations in mining, building materials, chemical industries, transportation, concrete mixing plants, etc.
Performance characteristics of sand washing machine
-
Reasonable structure and wide applications
The wheel-bucket sand washing machine has a reasonable structure, simple operation, and saves site costs. It has wide application in construction sites, sand and gravel yards, concrete precast stone, and electrical and ground departments.
-
Good cleaning effect
This machine reduces the loss of fine sand and achieves a good cleaning effect. The loss of fine sand is minimal with high-quality final sand, low soil content, and much cleaner, meeting the standards for construction sand.
-
Long service life
Moreover, JXSC machine adopts materials that resist wear and corrosion, enabling it to operate well in any harsh environment and extend its service life.
-
Energy conservation and environmental protection
The energy-saving effect of this machine is apparent, with a single machine saving about 45% of energy compared to old-fashioned equipment. There is no dust or noise pollution with low water consumption. Building a sedimentation tank for natural sedimentation, recycling water energy, saving resources, and reducing pollution.
Spiral sand washing machine
Spiral sand washing machines have wide applications in construction sites, sand and gravel plants, and concrete dam construction sites for hydropower stations. This machine has the advantages of high cleanliness, reasonable structure, large processing capacity, low power consumption, and less sand loss. In addition, the transmission part of the spiral sand washing machine is isolated from water and sand, so its failure rate is much lower.
Performance characteristics of spiral sand washing machine
- The spiral sand washing machine has a simple structure. It is easy to control and operate. The impeller drive bearing device is isolated from water and water-receiving materials, avoiding bearing damage caused by immersion, sand, and pollutants, with a low failure rate.
- The matching degree between accessories is high, and the operation is relatively stable. The vulnerable parts are made of materials with high wear and strong compression resistance. The whole machine has a low failure rate and is sturdy and durable.
- This machine has significant advantages compared to traditional machines when used for sand and gravel field, as follows:
- The loss of medium fine sand and stone powder is minimal. The gradation and fineness modulus of the washed construction sand meet the national standard of “Construction Sand” and “Construction Pebble and Crushed Stone.”
- This machine has almost no vulnerable parts except the sieve.
- Long service life, no need for maintenance for a long time.
- This spiral sand washing machine is a high-efficiency equipment developed based on the actual situation of the domestic quarry mining industry. It has a high degree of cleanliness, and the sewage is recyclable, effectively saving resources and increasing the production capacity.
Spiral Or Bucket-Wheel Sand Washing Machine, Which Is Better?
The sand washing machine is an essential equipment in the quarry stone crushing plant. This machine removes impurities on the surface of sand and gravel, destroy the water vapor layer covering the sand particles, achieve dehydration and efficient cleaning to meet the standards for sand. It includes two types based on their structure and working principle: spiral and bucket-wheel sand washing machines. So which machine is better?
Differences between the two machines
- The main difference between two machines is that the spiral sand washing machine has a relatively narrow body, horizontal structure, occupies a large area, large amount of water loss. It cleans material thoroughly, and produces good final products. The bucket wheel structure is simple, occupies a small area, and causes less sand loss.
- Spiral sand washing machines can achieve the classification operation of medium and fine materials, while wheel sand washing machines are suitable for cleaning fine materials.
- The output of a spiral sand washing machine is slightly higher. Under the same conditions, it can process higher-purity materials than the bucket-wheel machine.
- Spiral sand washing machines are relatively expensive and require more complex maintenance compared to bucket-wheel type. We suggest choose spiral sand washing machines for those with high production requirements. The bucket-wheel sand washing machine has a simple structure, low price, convenient maintenance, and almost no vulnerable parts under reasonable configuration conditions. If the production requirement is not high, choose a bucket-wheel sand washing machine for processing gravel aggregates.
Choosing between a spiral or a bucket-wheel sand washing machine depends on one’s production needs. Both machines have their advantages, and as long as the equipment is of good quality, excellent performance, meets one’s production requirements, the machine is worth buying.
We accept customization for more models to meet the requirements of different scales. The price of the mining equipment will determined by the manufacturer’s type, machine model, manufacturing process capacity, etc. We can provide various mining equipment like stone crushers, etc. Welcome to consult JXSC‘s professional engineers to get the quotation based on your requirements. We will design a sand-making and crushing production line flow chart for you.
