Cleaner Sand, Less Babysitting
If your screw washer’s leaving too much fine sand in the waste stream, it’s probably time for a cyclone. The Helix Cyclone uses centrifugal force to separate ultra-fines from slurry, helping you recover more sellable product without clogging up your system or slowing things down.
Set it up once, and let it run. The Helix is built for steady performance with minimal operator input. It’s a solid solution for producers who want tighter control of their final gradation, cleaner overflow, and a little less chaos in their wash circuit.
Models
Sand Production
Constructed of structural steel with urethane or rubber liners, this model makes precise 200-mesh cuts to remove excess fines and deliver high-quality sand.
Fines Recovery
Made entirely of cast urethane for wear resistance, this model targets ultra-fine 400-mesh particles to reclaim material normally lost to the waste stream.
Advantages
Flow-Stabilizing Inlet
Patented design that reduces turbulence and feed instability for sharper particle separation, lower wear, and longer liner life.
Vortex Finder
Patented flow-control design prevents short-circuiting, reducing coarse carryover into the overflow for more accurate fines recovery.
Field-Cut Apex Nozzle
Adjustable discharge opening allows operators to fine-tune underflow density and cut point on-site, improving recovery efficiency without part replacements.
Siphon Assist
Creates a vacuum effect at the apex to increase solids concentration in the underflow, producing a drier discharge and reducing downstream handling.
The Spin Behind the Spec
At this Canadian site, precision washing runs through every stage and the Helix Cyclone plays a key role. Integrated into the Fusion Modular Plant, it sharpens separation, boosts recovery, and helps produce multiple spec sands with remarkable efficiency.
With tons-per-hour climbing past 800 and dependable dealer support from Machinery Supply, this portable operation shows how intelligent flow control and proven design turn a temporary setup into a high-performing production site.
