What is Wheel sand washing machine?

What is wheeled sand washer? Wheel sand washer is a kind of wheel bucket washing equipment, is artificial sand, river sand, sea sand, or crushed glass and other watery fine-grained materials such as washing, grading, removing impurities processing equipment, widely used in sand and gravel, metallurgy, chemical industry, building materials, hydropower, construction and other fields, can clean and separate the sand and gravel of stone powder and soil.

Wheel sand washer is composed of tank body, motor, blade, reducer, shaft, sand washing tank, feeding port, sand outlet, and other parts.

If you are a beginner and do not know about Wheel sand washing machine, tell us your raw material characteristics, finished product requirements, site conditions, production budget, hourly production, and other requirements, we have professional engineers to equip you with a suitable model at a reasonable price. Next, let’s see the types of Wheel bucket sand washing machine we can supply.

What Is Wheel sand washing machine Used For?

Wheel sand washing machine is also known as wheel bucket sand washing machine, because it adopts the wheel bucket design, the material from the feed chute into the wash tank to complete the cleaning effect, used for sand (stone and sand) products to remove impurities in the machine, more use of water washing method, washing height, reasonable structure, large output.

Adopting debuggable overflow weir plate design, high washing degree, low power consumption. The loss rate of fine sand and stone powder is low, and the gradation and fineness modulus of the finished product can reach the construction standard. Work site construction sedimentation tank, water resources can be recycled, fully sealed structure design, water saving and energy saving more environmentally friendly.

Working Principle of Wheel sand washing machine

When working, the power unit drives the impeller to rotate slowly through the triangle belt, reducer, gear deceleration, sand and gravel from the feed tank into the wash tank, tumbling under the impeller and grinding each other to remove the impurities covering the surface of the sand and gravel, and at the same time destroying the water vapor layer of the sand particles, in order to facilitate dewatering; and at the same time, add water to form a strong water flow, in a timely manner will be the impurity and the specific gravity of the small foreign matter away, and from the overflow port wash tank discharge to complete the cleaning process.

Advantageous features of Wheel sand washing machine

• Simple structure: the impeller drive bearing device is isolated from water and water-containing materials, which greatly avoids the occurrence of bearing damage due to water immersion, sand and pollutants, and greatly reduces the accident rate.
• Loss of fine sand is extremely small: the loss of fine sand and stone powder is extremely small, and the gradation and fineness modulus of the washed construction sand meet the standard requirements.
• Convenient maintenance: the wheeled sand washer is convenient for maintenance with large handling capacity, low power consumption and high washing degree.
• Sealing structure: full-blockade oil-bath transmission device: adjustable overflow weir plate ensures that this series of products are characterized by high efficiency, durable cleaning and good dewatering effect.

Wheel sand washing machine FAQ

Q: How much water does a wheel sand washing machine use?

A: A wheel sand washer typically uses 15–30 tons of water per hour depending on the model and sand output. However, most of this water can be recycled using a water settling tank or a hydrocyclone system. This reduces fresh water consumption to about 2–5 tons per hour in a closed-loop setup.

Q: What is the difference between a wheel sand washer and a screw sand washer?

A: A wheel sand washer has a lower cost, uses less water, and experiences less sand loss (around 5–10%). A screw sand washer is better for cleaning coarse, dirty materials but has higher wear on the screw blade and loses more fine sand (up to 15–20%). For most sand producers, the wheel type is more popular.

Q: Can a wheel sand washer remove clay from sand?

A: Yes. The rotating wheel and paddles scrub the sand against each other. This action separates clay, silt, and other impurities. The dirty water overflows from the water tank, while clean sand is carried out by the bucket wheel. For heavy clay content, adding a pre-screening step or a log washer before the wheel washer is recommended.

Q: What capacity wheel sand washer should I buy for 50 tons per hour?

A: For 50 tons per hour, choose a model with a bucket wheel diameter of 2800mm to 3000mm (e.g., XSD3020 or similar). This size typically handles 40–70 t/h. Make sure the machine has a double-wheel design if your feed contains more than 20% fines or clay.

Q: How do I maintain a wheel sand washing machine?

A: Three simple daily checks:
① Lubricate bearings every 8 hours of operation.
② Check the reducer oil level once a week.
③ Inspect the rubber wear liners inside the wheel bucket – replace them when worn down to 50%. Also, flush the discharge chute at the end of each shift to prevent sand build-up.
