Components and Working Principle of a Screw Type Sand Washing Machine

1. Screw Conveyor:

- The main component of the machine is a rotating screw conveyor that transports and lifts the sand as it moves through the machine.

2. Washing Chamber:

- The screw conveyor is housed within a washing chamber where the sand is agitated and scrubbed to remove impurities such as clay, silt, and debris.

3. Water Injection System:

- Water is injected into the washing chamber to help dislodge and wash away the impurities from the sand particles.

4. Dewatering Screen:

- After the washing process, the cleaned sand is discharged onto a dewatering screen that removes excess water from the material.

5. Discharge Chute:

- The cleaned and dewatered sand is discharged through a chute for further processing or stockpiling.
