The wheel bucket sand washer is an indispensable step in the sand washing process. Therefore, it is very important to improve the working efficiency of the wheel bucket sand washer. So what factors will affect the work efficiency of the wheel bucket sand washer? Let’s Come find out!

Factors Affecting Efficiency of Wheel Sand Washer

1. Structural factors

The area in the water tank of the wheel bucket sand washing machine determines the processing capacity and classification density of the sand washing machine. To increase the area, we can increase the height of the overflow weir or reduce the inclination angle, or increase the width of the groove. In addition, the diameter of the wheel bucket sand washing machine determines the width of the groove and is 100-200mm larger than the diameter of the spiral, the lifting height required for sand washing determines the low inclination angle of the storage tank and lowers it to the point where the ore will not slide excessively Ultimately, the height of the weir is a parameter that can be changed during production. But this parameter is determined in the early stages of production and basically does not change in later stages. Traditionally, we refer to the height of the overflow weir as the sloping height from the centerline of the helix axis to the top of the overflow weir, where 400-800mm is a parameter for high weir classifiers and 930-2000mm is a parameter for invasive classifiers.

2. Operating Conditions

Operating conditions also affect the efficiency of the sand washer, and the ore concentration during the operation of the sand washer is the main factor that needs to be adjusted during the operation of the sand washer. It is related to the classification granularity, but also to the processing power at that granularity. The critical concentration refers to the precipitation to the maximum value at a certain critical solvent concentration, and the weight corresponding to the maximum value is called the critical concentration, and the processing capacity of the wheel bucket sand washing machine classifier reaches the maximum at the critical concentration. The critical concentration is related to the specified classification particle size and varies with the density of the ore and the slurry content. The higher the ore density or the lower the slurry content, the higher the critical concentration and vice versa. The relationship between the critical concentration and the classification particle size is related to the slurry. The content is the same, that is, the lower the classification particle size, the smaller the critical concentration.

3. The grit factor

The sand washing machine is affected by the characteristics of sand and gravel. The density, mud content, and particle size of sand and gravel are three aspects. The density of sand and gravel is proportional to the production capacity of the bucket sand washer. The content of the slurry and the influence on the size of the ore is mainly reflected in the viscosity of the slurry, which reduces the viscosity and increases the sedimentation speed of the mineral particles.

At present, the wheel bucket sand washing machine is mainly used for washing, grading, and impurity removal in industries such as highways, water and electricity, and construction. The above is the whole content of this article. Thank you for watching. See you in the next issue!
