What is Sand and Gravel Washing?
Washing sand and gravel is a process necessary to remove dirt, dust and other unwanted foreign material so the sand and rock can be used to produce building materials like road base gravel and new concrete and asphalt mixes
In the past, dry screening was acceptable, but these days, washing and scrubbing are required to produce a silt-free product to meet stringent specifications in various markets.
This washing process involves using specialized equipment, water, and other chemicals to clean and remove the particles.
What is Wash Recycling?
Wash recycling is when previously used materials like concrete and asphalt are cleaned and reused. This process helps to conserve natural resources by reducing the need for new materials, as well as reducing waste in landfills.
Wash recycling has numerous benefits beyond just conservation efforts. It also saves energy and reduces pollution by eliminating the need for traditional manufacturing processes. In addition, it creates jobs within the recycling industry, boosting local economies.
Implementing effective wash recycling programs can reduce environmental impact while promoting sustainable practices.
Types of Equipment for Washing Sand & Gravel
The washing process can incorporate a variety of machines depending on the desired outcome and product required. Most of the equipment used for washing sand and gravel is the same as wash recycling. Types of equipment include:
Wet Screens
Wet screens are mechanical vibrating screens with strategically placed nozzles spraying the material as it passes across the screen. The washed rock, stone and sand pass through the screen openings and is sorted by size.
Screw Washers
Screw washers are used to wash, classify and remove water from sand or other fine materials in one machine.
Bucket Wheel Washers
These machines use a rotating bucket wheel to scoop up the material and move it through a water bath, where it is washed and separated from impurities.
Log Washers: These machines use a rotating log to agitate the sand or gravel and scrub it clean before it is washed and separated from any impurities.
Hydrocyclones: These machines use centrifugal force to separate the sand or gravel from any impurities, by swirling the mixture through a water bath and separating the heavier materials from the lighter ones.
Dewatering Screens
Dewatering screens work in conjunction with other washing equipment to reduce the water content of the material being fed onto the screen.
