CAPACITY
The Spiral Sand Washing Machine, also called a spiral sand washer, screw sand washer or sand screw, is a wet-processing machine used to wash, deslime, classify, convey and partially dewater sand and fine aggregate.
Feed material enters the lower washing pool, where one or two slowly rotating spiral shafts agitate the sand and loosen clay, silt and dust. Lighter fine contaminants leave with the overflow water, while settled sand is conveyed upward along the inclined trough. Water drains from the material before it is discharged at the upper end.
XINGAONAI spiral sand washers are available in single-spiral and double-spiral configurations with published capacities from 40 to 300 t/h. They can process river sand, manufactured sand, quartz sand, silica sand and selected fine aggregate. Actual washing capacity and product quality depend on feed size, clay content, water supply, required fines removal and downstream dewatering requirements.
Effective Washing and Desliming
The rotating spiral agitates and turns the feed material in the washing pool, helping release loose clay, silt and dust from the sand surface. Wash water carries the separated fine contaminants toward the overflow.
Single and Double Spiral Configurations
Single-spiral models are available for lower and medium capacities, while double-spiral models provide greater conveying and washing capacity for larger production lines. Final selection depends on feed conditions and required throughput.
Washing, Wet Grading and Partial Dewatering
The machine combines material agitation, impurity removal, hydraulic separation and upward conveying. Sand drains as it moves above the water level, although a separate dewatering screen may be required for lower final moisture.
Adjustable Operating Conditions
Water flow, feed rate, pool level and overflow settings can be adjusted to balance washing intensity, fines removal and product recovery. Adjustments should be based on feed gradation and product testing.
Replaceable Wear Components
Spiral flights, liners and other material-contact components can be inspected and replaced according to actual wear. Accessible mechanical components simplify routine inspection and maintenance.
