How many tonnes of sand can a sand washer process in a day

A sand washer is a water-based cleaning device designed to operate alongside sand-making machinery. It removes minute quantities of stone powder and impurities from the mixed sand produced by sand-making machines, thereby enhancing the sand's quality. It is widely employed in sand cleaning operations across various industries, including construction sites, sand and gravel yards, and concrete precast plants. How many tonnes of sand can a sand washer process in a day? Is there a model capable of washing 160 tonnes per hour?

Currently, two primary types dominate the market: the bucket wheel sand washer and the spiral sand washer. Specific details are outlined below:

1. Bucket Wheel Sand Washer

The bucket wheel sand washer features a relatively modest processing capacity. During sand cleaning, it exhibits minimal sand loss and requires limited water resources. It is generally suitable for small to medium-sized sand production lines. A single unit can process up to 300 tonnes of sand per hour, reaching approximately 3,000 tonnes daily. A single unit suffices for sand and gravel production lines with daily outputs of 3,000 tonnes or less. For large-scale operations, such as plants processing 10,000 tonnes daily, four washers are entirely adequate.

2. Spiral Sand Washer

This type of sand washer eliminates the need for screens, thereby avoiding screen wear that impacts equipment lifespan and ensuring longer operational life. It features high power utilisation and superior cleaning efficiency, capable of processing fine-grained aggregates and heavily silted sand-gravel mixtures. Typically deployed in large-scale sand production lines, it can wash 5-240 tonnes of sand per hour, handling larger materials or finer-grained sorting operations.
