Bucket Wheel Sand Washer is a critical equipment in aggregate (crushed stone, gravel, sand) production plants, designed to wash and classify materials. It removes unwanted contaminants such as dust, clay, and organic matter from crushed stone or sand and separates materials by size.

Working Principle:

  • The washer operates using a rotating drum equipped with buckets (wheels).

  • Raw material is fed into the drum, where buckets lift it upward while water jets spray to wash away impurities.

  • Heavy particles (stones, gravel) settle at the bottom, while lightweight contaminants (clay, silt) are flushed out with water.

  • Cleaned material is discharged via the rotating buckets and classified by size.

Advantages:

  • High capacity and efficient cleaning.

  • Eco-friendly operation with water recycling systems.

  • Robust construction and long service life.

Applications:

  • Quarries and crushed stone plants.

  • Sand and gravel washing.

  • Recycling plants for construction waste processing.
