Classification & Separation Classifying Tank

Take Control of Your Gradation

Inconsistent sand specs can cost you sales. A classifying tank gives you the precision to hit target gradations shift after shift. By automatically separating material based on settling rate, it eliminates the guesswork of manual blending and helps you produce in-spec product every time.

Whether you're dealing with variable deposits or changing customer demands, the classifying tank puts you in control. Adjustable valves, automated controls, and customizable configurations give you the flexibility to fine-tune performance without constant oversight, freeing up your crew and tightening up your results.

Advantages

Elevated Valve Bridge

Raised design keeps mechanical components above the water line to prevent corrosion and extend service life.

Hinged Walkway Plates

Swing open for quick, tool-free access to mechanical valve stations, simplifying inspection and maintenance.

Rising Current Cells

Improve separation efficiency by keeping lighter material in suspension while heavier particles settle for cleaner gradations.

Recirculating Pump System

Reuses overflow water from the tank to feed rising current cells, cutting fresh water demand and improving classification control.
