Hydrocyclone sand washing machine

Hydrocyclone Sand Washing Machine in Aggregate Production

The hydrocyclone sand washing machine is a critical component in modern aggregate processing plants, designed to remove impurities and improve sand quality. Its compact structure and high efficiency make it ideal for both stationary and mobile crushing-screening-washing lines.

Key Features & Parameters

– Working Principle: Utilizes centrifugal force to separate fine particles (<75μm) from sand.
– Capacity: 50–200 t/h (model-dependent).
– Power: 5.5–22 kW motor.
– Water Consumption: 30–100 m³/h (recyclable).
– Material: Wear-resistant polyurethane or rubber lining.

Model Inlet Size (mm) Max Feed Size (mm) Weight (kg)
FX250 250 10 1,200
FX350 350 15 1,800
FX500 500 20 2,500

Suitability for Crushing-Sand Production Lines

Integrated after vibrating screens or sand makers, hydrocyclones ensure final product cleanliness (≤3% silt content). They complement jaw crushers, cone crushers, and VSI crushers in producing high-quality concrete/asphalt aggregates.

FAQ

Q: How to reduce water usage?
A: Implement closed-loop water systems with settling ponds.

Q: Common maintenance points?
A: Regularly check liners and inlet/outlet pipes for wear.

Q: Can it handle recycled concrete aggregates?
A: Yes, but pre-screening (>5mm) is recommended to avoid clogging.

Project Case: Limestone Quarry in Malaysia

A 200tph sand plant achieved ≤1% silt content using FX350 hydrocyclones paired with a VSI crusher, reducing freshwater demand by 40% through water recycling.
