Washed sand is a common sand processing method. The following is a description of the raw materials and uses of washed sand:

What are the raw materials of washed sand?

The raw materials of washed sand can be a variety of stones. At present, the raw materials commonly used in the production of mechanism sand mainly include limestone, granite, basalt, river pebble, cobblestone, pyrochlore and so on. Among them, limestone and granite occupy 80% of the raw materials of mechanism sand in the market.

What is the use of washed sand?

Washed sand is widely used in various fields of sand and gravel demand projects, especially in infrastructure construction, such as subway, municipal engineering, transportation, etc. For example, sand aggregate and natural sand are required in projects such as reinforced concrete high-rise buildings, highways, railroads and bridges, and washed sand has become a clean, high-quality and highly popular choice in the market.

Commonly used sand washers:

The wheel bucket sand washer (impeller sand washer) is a commonly used sand washing equipment. It feeds sand into the washing tank through the trough feeder, and driven by the impeller, the sand rolls and grinds each other to remove the impurities on the surface of the sand and destroy the water vapor layer covering the sand particles for dewatering treatment. At the same time, a strong water flow is formed by adding water to flush away impurities and foreign matter with small specific gravity in time and discharge from the overflow washing tank, thus completing the cleaning function.

The application advantages of water-washed sand include removing impurities and improving the quality and consistency of the sand, making it more suitable for various engineering needs. Water-washed sand has become an indispensable processing method for industries and projects requiring clean, high-quality sand and gravel.
