Remove Contamination With Less Water

 

The new Hydro-Clean™ washing unit from W.S. Tyler effectively cleans deleterious material from aggregate, industrial minerals and metals while reducing water consumption by up to 75% over traditional log washers.

Taking a maximum feed material size of up to 150 mm into its vertical drum, the Hydro-Clean employs high-pressure nozzles, rotating at 90 rpm, to spray up to 90% recycled water on the material with pressures up to 2900 psi (200 bars). The washing unit removes silt and clay particles as small as 63 μm from mineral mixtures and, with its short retention times, can process up to 400 t/h, depending on model size and application.

Due to its compact size and weight, overall operating and structural costs are considerably lower than with traditional washing systems – which also require more equipment and a greater footprint. A traditional washing system can require up to three screens along with a log washer or screw. With a Hydro-Clean unit, the producer only needs an additional wash screen for the Hydro-Clean’s discharged material.

The Hydro-Clean consumes little water and power. Water consumption ranges from 100 to 800 l/min, depending on application and model size – compared to log washers that can require up to 3000 l/min of water. Power requirements for the Hydro-Clean are no higher than 300 hp on its largest model. When compared to conventional systems, the Hydro-Clean experiences little wear with a maintenance-friendly design that allows for easy exchange of the few standard components that are subject to wear.

The Hydro-Clean is available in four model sizes that produce 20 to 400 t/h, depending on the application.
