The Alliance Low Water Washer from Superior Industries allows you to wash crusher dust right next to the crushing circuit, eliminating the cost of handling and hauling these fines to a new washing circuit. This unit is designed with a small footprint, which allows it to be easily incorporated into an existing plant.
The Alliance Low Water Washer agitates and dewaters material, turning tailings into a salable manufactured sand. Customers experience significantly less water consumption when washing straight off of a dry feed. The Alliance Low Water Washer is manufactured in models for rates up to 300 tph (272 mtph).
The Alliance Low Water Washer accepts a dry feed from the crushing circuit. An agitator converts the material to a slurry before an integrated dewatering screen removes excess water, leaving as little as 8% moisture in the discharged manufactured sand.
Superior says existing units have required as little 45 to 90 cu. meters/hour of water (200 to 400 gpm), depending on production rates. That’s significantly less water consumption than a traditional screw or cyclone.
