China Spiral Sand Washer | Leimeng’s Efficient Washing Solutions for High-Quality Manufactured Sand

 

1. Introduction: The Importance of Sand Washing in Construction

In modern construction, highways, bridges, and infrastructure projects, the quality of manufactured sand plays a critical role in determining the stability of concrete and the lifespan of engineering structures.
Unwashed sand often contains clay, silt, and impurities that weaken mortar bonding and reduce the overall structural quality.

In this process, sand washing equipment becomes essential—especially the spiral sand washer, known for its superior coarse cleaning capability and stable performance. As a trusted China spiral sand washer supplier, Leimeng offers high-performance, cost-effective solutions tailored to meet diverse production demands around the globe.

 

2. Working Principle and Structure of Spiral Sand Washer

The spiral sand washer (also known as screw sand cleaning equipment) mainly consists of spiral blades, a water trough, a transmission system, and an overflow outlet.

Powered by a motor, the spiral shaft rotates to stir, elevate, and wash sand in water, effectively separating mud and impurities from clean aggregates.

Main components include:

50. High-strength spiral blades
50. Wear-resistant liners
50. Water trough and sedimentation tank
50. Gear reducer and main motor
50. Overflow outlet and discharge port

This type of washer is particularly suitable for raw sand with high clay content and coarse stone powder, offering strong adaptability and low operational cost.

 

3. Recommended Configuration: Spiral + Wheel + Fine Sand Recovery

Based on actual use cases from Leimeng’s customers, spiral sand washers are often paired with other washing equipment to achieve precise sand grading and refinement.

Recommended configuration:

50. 2 spiral sand washers → Coarse washing to remove large-size clay and debris
50. 1 wheel (impeller) sand washer → Fine washing to eliminate micro dust and improve gradation
50. 1 fine sand recovery unit → Recycles particles under 0.16mm, enhancing sand quality and reducing loss

This integrated solution improves sand cleanliness and grading structure, making it ideal for high-spec concrete and dry mortar applications.

 

 

4. Key Advantages of Leimeng Spiral Sand Washing Equipment

High Throughput, Lower Energy Consumption
Leimeng spiral washers can process up to 200 tons/hour, with specific energy consumption as low as 1.1–1.5 kWh/ton, significantly reducing operating costs.

Excellent Wear Resistance & Easy Maintenance
Critical parts like the spiral blades and tank liners are made from wear-resistant alloy or polymer materials, extending service life and minimizing maintenance downtime.

Robust Construction, Stable Operation
Designed with a reinforced steel frame, the unit adapts to high-frequency operations and humid working conditions, ideal for quarrying and sand washing stations.

 

5. Typical Application Scenarios

Leimeng spiral sand washers are widely used in:

50. Aggregate plants and manufactured sand production lines
50. River dredging and de-mudding
50. Cleaning of quartz sand, glass sand, and cement raw materials
50. Tailings recovery in coal preparation plants
50. Sand washing in hydropower stations
50. Mining wash stations and integrated systems

Its flexible compatibility allows stable performance across various material types and production demands.

 

6. Advantages of Chinese Manufacturing: Cost & Delivery

As a major China spiral sand washer manufacturer, Leimeng offers advantages in quality, delivery lead times, and support services:

50. Cost-effective for bulk procurement and export projects
50. Customizable discharge size, voltage standards, and installation structure
50. Rich international trade experience with multilingual documentation and export packaging
50. Global after-sales service and on-site technical support

 

7. Real Case: Leimeng Washing System in a Southeast Asia Project

A large-scale manufactured sand plant in Southeast Asia adopted a complete Leimeng washing setup:

50. 2 Spiral Sand Washers
50. 1 Wheel Sand Washer
50. 1 Fine Sand Recovery System

This system achieved 800 tons/day throughput, with final sand having less than 1.5% mud content and fine sand recovery exceeding 85%. The plant significantly enhanced the finished sand quality and gained strong client approval.

 

8. Key Considerations When Choosing a Spiral Sand Washer

When selecting a spiral sand washer, consider the following:

50. Required daily output and runtime
50. Mud and silt content, particle distribution in raw sand
50. Need for fine sand recovery and wheel washer integration
50. Acceptable energy use and maintenance overhead
50. Export requirements (custom voltage, language, installation support)

Leimeng provides tailored design advice, sample testing, and end-to-end technical support based on project needs.

 

9. Conclusion: Leimeng Powers the Global Reach of China-Made Spiral Sand Washers
