Introduction
Cylinder washing machines are cylindrical machines used to remove impurities, small stones and debris from various materials. They are mainly used in the mineral processing industry. Cylinder washing machines are used in mineral processing plants to concentrate ores such as gold, copper and iron. They can also be used in the production of ceramics, glass and construction materials.
Working Principle
Cylinder washing machines are built with power transmission and movement functions. They are powered by electric motors, and driven by a gearbox to rotate and move forward and backward with two or three axles. The raw materials to be processed enter the cylinder of the machine through an inlet at one end. The rotation of the cylinder body causes the sand and other impurities to be separated from the material because of their different density. The sand and mud drop out on the bottom of the cylinder and the material enters into the other end of the cylinder for further processing.
Main Features
Cylinder washing machines have several advantages. First, they have a large capacity, which can process up to 50 tonnes of material per hour. Second, they are able to filter out impurities while keeping the good materials intact. Third, they use a sealed system to keep dust, sand and other particulates from entering the environment during operation. Fourth, they are relatively energy efficient and can save considerable energy when compared to other types of separators such as disc separators or sedimentation tanks.
Application
Cylinder washing machines are mainly used in the mineral processing industry to separate sand, gravel and other impurities from the raw materials being processed. They are also used in river dredging, for mining and quarrying operations, for cleaning construction materials and for removing stone chips from ceramic products. They can also be used for food processing, for sorting seeds and other cereal products, for separating oil from water and for removing impurities from vegetable oil.
Conclusion
Cylinder washing machines are used to separate sand, gravel and other impurities from materials such as ore, river sediment, clay, sandstone and other materials. They are mainly used in the mineral processing industry. They have several advantages, such as high capacity, efficient filtering, sealed system and energy saving. They are also used in various other industries to clean construction materials, separate oil and water and remove impurities from vegetable oil.
