Sand Washing Machine Working Principle:
When materials get into the washtrough, they will roll and grind with each other under the driving force of the impellers. Thus, the impurities covering the sand will be removed and the moisture layer wrapping the sand grains will be broken, which are useful to dewater the sand. At the same time, a steady flow of water will generate strong current that will carry off the impurities and light foreign bodies through the overflow port. 

Sand Washing Machine Characters:
(1)Both of the water and material don't touch the gearing, which avoids the damage to the parts due to rust.
(2)Rational construction: The new sealed construction, transmission device of totally covered oil bath type, adjustable flow weir plate make sure of the efficiency, durability, sound effects of washing and dewatering.
(3)Large operational capacity, lower power consumption.
(4)Lower water consumption, no pollution.
