The ore washer, also known as a rotary drum scrubber, is a horizontal washing equipment. It relies on the rotation of the drum, the tumbling of materials, and water flushing to remove mud and impurities from the ore surface. It is primarily used for aggregate desliming and features high washing efficiency. The equipment mainly consists of a drum, a transmission system, wear-resistant liners, support rollers, and a water supply system. It is available in two models: a pure drum washing type and a screening type with grizzly bars. The fine materials classified by the screening type can be further processed using a spiral ore washer.
This machine is capable of washing various minerals, including iron, manganese, tin, and quartz ores, to significantly enhance the quality of mineral processing. It is also widely used for washing engineered sand and gravel aggregates to ensure they meet building material standards, making it highly suitable for various infrastructure projects. Furthermore, the equipment can process and recover materials such as tailings and coal gangue, achieving effective resource recycling.
