Bucket wheel sand washer is an industrial sand washing equipment, used in sand-making plants for washing the solid and powder out of the sand, in the beneficiation plant for extracting sand, etc.
What Is a Bucket Wheel Sand Washer?
Bucket wheel sand washer is an industrial sand washing equipment used in the cleaning of sand and other fine materials. The machine is used in sand-making plants for washing the solid and powder out of the sand, in the beneficiation plant for extracting sand, etc.
The main purpose of a bucket wheel sand washer is to remove impurities such as clay, silt, dust, and other unwanted particles from the sand, getting cleaner sand products. Compared to spiral sand washing machines, wheel bucket sand washing machines have weaker cleaning capabilities and are more suitable for small and medium-sized sand production lines.
What Is Bucket Wheel Sand Washer Used For?
CFTC bucket wheel sand washing machine is primarily used for washing sand and fine aggregates to remove impurities and contaminants. Here are some applications of bucket wheel sand washers:
Foundry Sand
Sand and Gravel Plant
Ore Fines Processing
Recycled Aggregates
Mining Industry
Road Construction
Chemical Industry
Hydropower Station
Water Conservancy
Building Foundations
Glass Manufacturing
Concrete Mixing Station
What Are the Features of Bucket Wheel Sand Washer?
1. Durable, low energy consumption, low operating costs.
2. Water consumption is relatively low, saving water resources.
3. Less wearing parts, no other wearing parts except the screen.
4. Loss of medium and fine sand and powder is much less during operation.
5. The drive system is isolated from water and can achieve simple maintenance.
What Are the Parts of Bucket Wheel Sand Washer?
A bucket wheel sand washer typically consists of main body, bucket wheel, screen, tank, gear box, motor, reducer, and main shaft. They work together to facilitate the cleaning and washing of sand and other fine materials. The bucket wheel is the central component of the equipment.
Here are several vulnerable parts of a bucket wheel sand washer: Wheel buckets, sieve screen, filter disc, and motor. Abrasion can cause the buckets to wear down or break, affecting the efficiency of the washing process. Using high-quality materials can help reduce the wear of the sand washer.
How Does Bucket Wheel Sand Washer Work?
When operating, the motor drives the bucket wheel slowly rotating through the V-belt and reducer. The sand is put into the washing tank and rolled over by the bucket wheel driving. During the rolling, the friction between the sand particles strips the impurities and breaks the vapor coatings around the particles to facilitate dehydration. Meanwhile, massive water is put into the washing tank to form a strong water stream to take the impurities away immediately and discharge them from the overflow port.
The bucket wheel takes the clean sand and rises slowly. The water contained in the sand leaks out and falls into the washing tank through the filter screen. This process not only finishes the dehydration of sand, but also saves the water. Finally, the cleaned sand is put into the output groove from the buckets, finishing the whole washing process.
