River Sand Washing Plant
High-capacity river sand washing & classification plant engineered for construction aggregate production, tough mud/clay lump breakdown, silt removal (<1.5%), and 90% process water recovery in large-scale operations.
Engineered for producers selling on purity — stripping surface contaminants so your sand meets strict lab report thresholds.
Raw silica feed carries iron oxide coatings, clay films, and organic contamination that gravity washing alone leaves behind. This plant integrates mechanical attrition scrubbing ahead of classification specifically to scour surface contamination, ensuring your final output consistently meets the tighter SiO₂ and Fe₂O₃ spec limits demanded by glass, foundry, and ceramic buyers.
DISCUSS YOUR PROJECT99.4%+ SiO₂ Purity
Mechanical scrubbing strips iron-oxide and clay films gravity washing misses.
Tight Spec Control
Hydrocyclone classification maintains exact gradation bands on every batch.
<8% Moisture Output
Dewatering stage reduces stockpile moisture, cutting transport weight and drying fuel.

GOT QUESTIONS? WE HAVE ANSWERS.
Q·01 How does the plant break down tough mud balls and clay lumps in raw river sand?
The heavy twin-shaft log scrubber uses high-torque intermeshing steel paddles to crush and disintegrate mud lumps under intense mechanical friction.
Q·02 Can the plant process sand with high silt and organic trash content?
Yes, combining primary trommel trash screens, log scrubbers, and hydrocyclone desilters eliminates wood, leaves, and silt down to <1.5%.
Q·03 What percentage of wash water is recycled in the closed-loop system?
The high-rate thickener clarifier tank with automatic flocculant dosing recovers up to 90% of process water for continuous closed-loop reuse.
Q·04 How quickly can the modular river sand washing plant be installed on site?
Pre-fabricated skid-mounted modules allow structural erection, piping connection, and electrical commissioning within 30 days.
