Washing, classifying equipment to explore

McLanahan’s UltraDry is a modular, skid-mounted dewatering screen that can be added to a new or existing system to create a drier, ready-to sell product that comes off at a moisture content as low 7 percent. According to McLanahan, the dewatering screens used in the UltraDry system have the highest g-force on the market, creating a deeper bed depth, a drier product and more processed product. Heavy-duty urethane holds up to the demands created by deeper bed depths and higher g-forces, McLanahan says. A slurry pump can be added to the UltraDry when pairing it with a screw washer to divert the screen’s underflow water back to the screen’s feed well.

Washing solution can handle sand, aggregate on a single chassis

The FM Pentium from Terex Washing Systems (TWS) is an innovative and versatile washing solution that has the capability to wash one grade of sand and one aggregate on a single chassis, the company says. According to TWS, the FM Pentium can be used in the quarrying and recycling sectors and offers a small footprint and high throughput rate. The FM Pentium features a twin 12-ft. x 5-ft. screen arrangement, producing a washed aggregate and a washed sand. TWS says the FM Pentium washing unit increases the efficiency with which quarries can wash sand and aggregates, being able to wash pre-sized mixed sands and aggregates and discharging two saleable products.

Fines recovery system features heavy-duty design, simplifies maintenance

EIW (Eagle Iron Works) introduced a fines recovery plant that consists of a sump, a pump, hydrocyclones and a dewatering screen that are configured in a modular, compact design. EIW’s new Hawk fines recovery plant can be used as a standalone solution for fines recovery, or as part of a larger tailings management system. According to the company, the Hawk captures ultra-fine solids from process water in the waste stream and discharges a drip-free material that is conveyable, stackable and potentially saleable. The Hawk will help to reduce the solids that go to settling ponds, EIW adds, reducing the frequency that ponds need to be cleaned out. In areas where water is scarce or expensive, the fines recovery plant offers a first step to prepare the waste stream for water recycling in downstream equipment such as thickeners and filter presses.
