Coarse Material Washer

Remove Unwanted Material

Built to withstand rugged conditions, our Coarse Material Washer will remove clay, dirt, vegetation, dust, and other rock coatings that cannot be removed by wet screening alone. In aggregates, coarse is usually defined as 3/8” to 3.5” (10 – 80mm).

These washing screws also aid in separating fine particles from the coarse aggregates. The combination of water and paddles agitate the material, allowing sand and other small particles to separate and be carried away as slurry.

By removing impurities, Coarse Material Screws contribute to the production of high-performance concrete and asphalt mixes.

Applications:

Asphalt

Concrete

Crushed Stone

Industrial

Recycled Materials

Road Base

Sand & Gravel

Advantages

Feature01 - Coarse Material Washer - Belly Pan
01.

Skidded Frame

Adds rigidity to the machine so that its shape stays solidly square during installation and operation.

Feature02 - Coarse Material Washer - Belly Pan
02.

Belly Pan

A curved design eliminates dead spots while a flush back nozzle enhances the material cleaning process.

Feature03 - Coarse Material Washer - Overflow Gate
03.

Overflow Gate

Adjustable feature allows control of water bed depth for a cleaner, drier product.

Feature04 - Coarse Material Washer - Drive System
04.

Drive System

Utilizes an off-the-shelf, shaft-mounted gear reducer that is fully-guarded during manufacturing.

How Does A Coarse Material Washer Work?

Material is fed into the inlet of the tub as water is introduced through spray bars or nozzles. The water loosens and suspends unwanted materials.

As the material and water move along the length of the screw, shaft-mounted flights and paddles provide mechanical agitation. This action breaks up clumps, dislodges contaminants, and allows the water to thoroughly mix with the material.

Unwanted and finer materials form a slurry and are carried out the back end, while the cleaner and coarser material moves along the screw and discharges at the opposite end.
