Overview

Eagle Iron Works’ Fine Material Washers perform three related actions: washing, dewatering and classification. Fine Material Washers are available in either single or double screw configurations, and selection is primarily a function of capacity requirements.

Washing fine 2.6 SG and higher solids being nominally minus 10mm or 3/8″ x 0 is the primary function of Fine Material Washers. This is accomplished by the continuous rotation of the spiral conveyor shaft and the velocity of the overflowing wastewater acting on the feed material. The rotating shaft causes the deleterious coatings to be removed from the solids and discharged with the overflowing wastewater.
