Process Description
- Contaminated material is fed into the top of the machine, between the paddles at the bottom of the machine.
- Material is transported upwards, in an inclined trough by the blades.
- The trough is inclined between 6 and 8 degrees.
- This movement causes friction between the stones and the blades. During the process clay (contamination) will be dissolved in the water which is fed through spray nozzles.
- The product is discharged at the upper trough end.
- The waste water with dissolved clay leaves the trough at the lower water outlet.
- Spiral placed blades, reduce loads on drive and transport the stone and rock forward.
- For removal of organic material and light solids, additional up current water can be injected into the bottom of the tank.
Technical Data
- Robust reliable design.
- Stable trough is fabricated from welded steel plates.
- Wear plates on face walls guarantee long service life.
- The washing mechanism is driven by two electric motors, and spur gears.
- Precision synchronous running of the two paddle shafts, Is ensured by gears, running in an enclosed oil bath gearbox.
- Log shafts have spherical roller bearings in generously dimensioned pedestal bearing housing.
