The unit accepts a dry feed directly from the crushing circuit and process- es material into a higher value manufactured sand. It is said to use up to 80 percent less water than the traditional screw/screen combination. An agitator section is positioned at the front end of the screen where water is added to the dry feed and mixed, producing a thick slurry. The slurry is then dumped onto a dewatering screen with a series of spray bars to help clean and wash out the fines. The end result is a saleable manu- factured sand with approximately 8 percent moisture content. The unit processes up to 300 tons per hour, with an option for custom-designed machines for higher throughput.
