II. Introduction to the core of process combination

This 200-1000 TPH sand washing process combination, centered around the collaborative operation of a "wheel sand washer + spiral sand washer", is an intelligent sand washing system that integrates sand pre-treatment, graded cleaning, deep desliming, and dewatering and drying (optional). This combination breaks through the processing limitations of a single sand washer, leveraging the complementary advantages of the two devices to accommodate various raw materials such as natural sand, machine-made sand, and construction waste recycled sand. It can efficiently process various types of sand with a silt content ranging from 5% to 30%, accurately producing clean sand that meets the national "Building Sand" standard.
Finished clean sand is widely used in high-standard infrastructure and building material production projects such as highways, high-speed railways, large bridges, water conservancy hubs, commercial concrete mixing stations, prefabricated component factories, and high-rise buildings. At the same time, it meets the sand purification needs of various fields such as sand and gravel plants, mining, and construction waste recycling, fully aligning with the industrial development trend of green building material production and resource recycling, and helping enterprises enhance product competitiveness and environmental compliance capabilities.

 

III. Detailed Process Flow

1. Raw material feeding and pretreatment stage: The sand to be cleaned is transferred to the raw material silo by a loader and evenly fed to a multi-layer vibrating screen by a linear vibrating feeder. The vibrating screen performs graded screening on the sand, separating out oversized stones and impurities, while classifying the sand into different particle size ranges. Unqualified coarse materials can be returned to the crushing system (if equipped), and qualified sand enters the subsequent sand washing process.
2. Primary cleaning stage (wheel sand washing): After grading, the sand enters the wheel sand washing machine. The motor drives the impeller to rotate slowly, causing the sand to tumble and rub under the impeller's drive, while high-pressure water continues to flush. Impurities such as soil and dust on the surface of the sand are quickly stripped away, and fine sand is fully retained due to the special structure of the impeller, reducing the loss of finished products. Impurities and sewage are discharged through the overflow port, completing the preliminary cleaning and grading.
3. Secondary cleaning stage (spiral sand washing): The sand material, which has been preliminarily cleaned by the wheel sand washer, is conveyed into the spiral sand washer via a belt conveyor. The spiral blades drive the sand material to move along the tank, where the sand particles grind against each other, further stripping off residual mud films and fine impurities. Simultaneously, clear water is injected to form a powerful water flow, which thoroughly carries away the impurities and foreign objects with a lower specific gravity, achieving deep de-mudding and cleaning, and ensuring the cleanliness of the finished sand.
4. Dewatering and drying stage (optional): The cleaned and qualified sand material enters the dewatering screen, where high-frequency vibration is used to quickly reduce the moisture content of the sand, ensuring that the moisture content of the finished sand is controlled below 8%, meeting the requirements for storage, transportation, and subsequent use. The sewage generated during dewatering enters the water circulation treatment system, where it is precipitated, filtered, and recycled for reuse, achieving water resource recycling and reducing environmental pressure.
5. Finished product stacking stage: The dehydrated clean sand is conveyed to the finished product stockpile via a belt conveyor and can be sorted and stacked according to particle size requirements, facilitating subsequent retrieval, use, and sales. The entire process is automatically controlled through a centralized electrical control system, which monitors the operating status of each equipment and the sand washing effect in real time.
