Overview
Improve Sand Quality & Maximize Profit with Reliable Spiral Sand Washer
The Spiral Sand Washing Machine is an efficient equipment designed to clean and separate impurities from sand and gravel. It removes dust, clay, and unwanted particles while ensuring minimal sand loss, making it an ideal solution for high-quality construction sand production.
Whether you are processing river sand, quartz sand, silica sand, or crushed stone sand, this machine helps you achieve cleaner output and higher market value.
Perfect for sand plants, quarry operations, mining, and construction aggregate production.
Why Choose Spiral Sand Washing Machine?
In modern sand production, raw materials often contain:
- High mud content
- Dust and impurities
- Poor grading quality
These problems directly reduce sand price and project acceptance rate.
Our spiral sand washer solves this by:
- Efficiently washing and classifying sand
- Removing clay and impurities thoroughly
- Improving sand grading and purity
- Reducing material loss during washing
Result: Cleaner sand + higher selling price + better project approval rate

Working Principle
The Spiral Sand Washing Machine uses a rotating spiral to stir sand in a water tank.
During the process:
- Sand enters the washing tank
- Impurities and dust are separated by water flow
- Spiral blades push clean sand upward
- Clean sand is discharged from the outlet
- Waste water and impurities are discharged separately
Simple structure, highly efficient cleaning process.

Spiral vs Wheel Sand Washing Machine
Spiral Sand Washing Machine
Uses spiral blades to continuously stir and clean sand in water. It provides higher cleaning efficiency, better removal of clay and impurities, and is suitable for high-capacity sand production lines (medium to large scale). It also has better performance for fine sand grading and heavy mud content.
Wheel Sand Washing Machine
Uses a wheel bucket structure to lift and wash sand. It has a simpler structure, lower cost, and lower water consumption, making it ideal for small to medium capacity projects with relatively clean raw material.

Project Cases
120 TPH River Sand Washing Project in Argentina
A sand and gravel plant in Argentina adopted our spiral sand washing machine (XL1120 model) to process river sand with high clay content. After installation, the sand purity improved significantly and fine sand loss was effectively controlled. The customer reported a clear increase in commercial sand value and stable daily production of 120–130 t/h.
80 TPH Quarry Sand Cleaning Plant in Oman
A quarry project in Oman used our XL920 spiral sand washer to clean crushed limestone sand. The equipment efficiently removed dust and impurities, improving concrete-grade sand quality for local construction projects. The plant achieved stable operation with a capacity of 80–110 t/h, reducing water consumption and maintenance costs.
