Bucket Wheel Sand Washing Machine

Bucket Sand washer is a washing equipment for sandstone. It is widely used in sand and stone yards, mines, building material, transportation, chemical industry, water conservancy and hydropower, concrete mixing stations and other industries for material washing. It can remove the impurities covering the surface of sand and destroy the water vapor layer covering sand grains, so as to facilitate dewatering and play an efficient sand washing role. It is a washing equipment for sand and slag particles.
