Overview:
The SWA Sand Washer is a stainless steel device designed for efficient washing and re-use of sand, primarily used in sedimentation tanks. It significantly reduces organic content, resulting in decreased disposal and transportation costs, and minimizes odor problems. The high-quality finish ensures a long lifespan.
Technical Specifications:- Ignition loss: 1-5%
- Dry solids (DS) content: > 90%
- Capacity (sand/water): Ranges from 7-28 l/s depending on the model
- Motor power (agitator/screw): Varies from 0.37/0.55 kW to 1.1/1.1 kW
- Dimensions (length x height x width): Varies by model, e.g., SWA 12 is 4212 mm x 3198-3448 mm x 1900 mm
Functionality:
The SWA Sand Washer operates by pumping a sand mix from the sedimentation tank into the washer. The conical tank design facilitates the separation of sand and organic material. An integrated flushing system washes out the organic content, which is then discharged separately. An agitator enhances separation during filling and washing, and a sand screw dewaters the sand during discharge.
Benefits:- Efficient washing and re-use of sand
- Reduction of organic content to internationally prescribed levels
- Decreased disposal and transportation costs
- Improved working environment
- Minimized odor issues
Models:
Various models are available, including SWA 9, SWA 12, SWA 14, SWA 21, SWA 28, and their XG variants, which feature larger sand screws for higher grit removal capacity.
