What factors affect the output of the sand washing machine

Sand washing machine is one of the commonly used equipment in industries such as mining, construction, cement and chemical, used to remove impurities from sand and improve the quality of stone materials. The output of a sand washing machine is one of the important indicators to measure its work efficiency and processing capacity. What factors affect the output of a sand washing machine?
 

Sand washing machine

1、 The influence of sand and gravel feed particle size

The working principle of the sand washing machine is to separate impurities in the sand and gravel from the mud under the erosion of water flow, so the feed particle size of the sand and gravel directly affects the output of the sand washing machine. The sand washing machine has a higher processing capacity for coarse sand, but a lower processing capacity for fine sand. Therefore, reasonable control of the feeding particle size of sand and gravel can increase the output of sand washing machines.

2、 The influence of raw material characteristics

The output of the sand washing machine is closely related to the characteristics of the raw materials to be cleaned. The particle size, humidity, mud content, and types and contents of impurities in raw materials directly affect the efficiency of sand washing. For example, smaller sand and gravel raw materials will adsorb more dust and impurities due to their larger surface area, which increases the difficulty of cleaning and leads to a decrease in production. In addition, sand and gravel with high humidity not only increase the water consumption during the sand washing process, but also may cause blockage of the sand washing machine, reducing production efficiency.

3、 The impact of equipment

The of the sand washing machine itself is also an important factor determining its output. High sand washing machines typically have stronger processing capabilities, higher levels of automation, and more stable operational .

4、 The influence of water flow rate and water pressure

Water is an important factor in the operation of sand washing machines. It is not only used for flushing sand and gravel, but also for conveying mortar and separating impurities. The water flow rate and water pressure have a direct impact on the output of the sand washing machine. Moderate water flow and appropriate water pressure can wash away sand and gravel, increasing production. However, if the water flow rate is too high or the water pressure is too high, it may cause excessive erosion of sand and gravel, leading to a decrease in production.
