35 AGGREGATES MANAGER April 2015 Metso says it can make the wash screen in an aggregate wash- ing and classifying system more efficient. Its factory-installed spray system provides 3 to 5 gallons per minute per ton per hour of feed material. Additionally, a grease-lubricated vibrator, such as its MV vibrator, works best in wet applications to prevent water and dirt contamination and provides a no-leak lubrication system. Metso says its feeders and screens deliver optimal up time and the lowest total cost to operate with trouble-free, reliable designs. Metso Minerals Industries, Inc. | www.metso.com Superior Industries, Inc.'s Aggre-Dry Dewatering Washer includes a newly patented washing fines recovery system. The washer is a single machine integrating a fine material washer and a dewater- ing screen. The patented technology reroutes -25 mm fines from an onboard dewatering screen back to the integrated sand screw. Rather than losing these fines to waste ponds, they are recovered as saleable material. Sand processed through the equipment is said to be stockpiled with moisture content of 8 percent. Washers are avail- able in single- or twin-screw configurations and in screw sizes of 36 to 60 inches. The twin-screw 60-inch model can process up to 800 tons per hour. The maximum material size that can be processed through the unit is 3/8 of an inch.
