Buy a sand washing machine for mica 38 tph in Brazil

For mica processing in Brazil’s major producing regions – including Minas Gerais, Bahia, and Goiás – a sand washing machine is essential to remove clay, silt, and fine impurities from crushed mica schist or scrap mica, producing a cleaner concentrate for industrial applications. Mica is soft and flaky, requiring gentle washing to preserve flake size. When you buy a sand washing machine for mica 38 tph in Brazil, you need a machine that achieves effective impurity removal without breaking the valuable mica flakes. OCP Mechanical Company, a factory‑direct manufacturer with over 40 years of experience, supplies Type W‑M (mica‑specific) sand washers designed for delicate minerals, backed by 24/7 online support.

Why a sand screw washer is a practical choice for mica

Mica waste or crushed schist often contains clay, iron stains, and ultrafines. A sand screw washer uses a slow‑rotating screw (15‑25 rpm) to gently lift mica flakes while allowing finer impurities to overflow. Compared to a high‑energy scrubber, a screw washer minimizes breakage of thin mica sheets. When you buy a sand washing machine for mica 38 tph in Brazil, a Type W-M washer with a 1,000‑1,200 mm diameter screw and 6‑7 m trough can process 35‑45 tph of feed, recovering up to 85‑90% of mica flakes larger than 0.3 mm. Polyurethane wear shoes are standard – they prevent metal‑to‑mineral contact, preserving natural sheen and purity. Many Brazilian mica processors have successfully used this configuration, reporting high recovery and low operating costs.

Key features that lower your cost per ton of recovered mica

When you evaluate a sand washing machine for mica, focus on features that directly affect recovery and operating expenses. The Type W-M includes a variable frequency drive (VFD) for precise screw speed adjustment – slower speeds reduce mica breakage. An adjustable weir allows precise control of the overflow cut size; raising the weir retains more fine mica. For higher purity, an optional freshwater rinse section improves product quality. The classifier uses a heavy‑duty gearbox (22‑30 kW) with sealed bearings to prevent contamination. For mica with high clay content, a dual‑paddle design or a pre‑scrubbing section is available.

Compared to other suppliers, OCP’s factory‑direct model typically saves 15‑20% on both the washer and genuine wear parts, with predictable annual maintenance costs.

Price range and delivery to Brazil

When you buy a sand washing machine for mica 38 tph in Brazil, the ex‑works price for a Type W-M washer (1,000 mm diameter, 6‑7 m trough) ranges from $14,000 to $24,000 USD. A VFD adds $2,000‑$4,000. A freshwater rinse section adds $3,000‑$5,000. Shipping to Brazilian ports (Santos, Rio de Janeiro, Vitória) (CIF) adds $4,000‑$8,000. A starter set of polyurethane shoes, bearings, and V‑belts adds $800‑$1,500. Total landed cost is approximately $20,000‑$40,000 USD.

For operations with extremely high clay content, an optional hydrocyclone ahead of the screw washer adds $8,000‑$12,000. Many Brazilian mica processors have recovered the washer investment within 6‑12 months by upgrading waste material to saleable mica concentrate.

Operational tips for mica washing in Brazil

Mica is fragile. To maximize flake retention, set screw speed at 15‑20 rpm – lower than for sand washing. Adjust the weir so that only fine clay overflows; test product samples regularly to ensure you are not losing valuable mica flakes. If the feed clay content exceeds 30%, consider a two‑stage wash (two washers in series) or add a desliming screen before the screw. Keep polyurethane wear shoes in good condition; worn shoes cause metal‑to‑mineral contact, which can darken the mica. Clean the water injection nozzles weekly to maintain even flow.
