How to Adjust the Installation Angle of a Spiral Sand Washer

A spiral sand washing machine is primarily designed to remove impurities from mined sand and stone, typically utilizing a water-based washing process. This equipment integrates three key functions: cleaning, dewatering, and grading. It is widely applied in construction sites, sand and gravel plants, concrete dam projects at hydropower stations, precast concrete facilities, glass manufacturing plants, and for preparing pressure sand used in oil well backfilling.

Even after acquiring a high-quality spiral sand washer, improper or inaccurate installation will prevent the machine from performing effectively. The adjustment of the spiral sand washing machine’s installation angle directly impacts sand production efficiency. Therefore, what critical issues must be addressed during the installation of the sand washer, and which factors influence the optimal installation angle? This article provides a detailed analysis for our readers.

Spiral Sand Washing Machine Installation

1. Upon delivery of the spiral sand washer, users should immediately inspect the unit to ensure all parts are complete and undamaged. Installation should only proceed after confirming that the machine is intact.

2. The user should design the foundation construction drawing for the stone washing machine based on specific site conditions, ensuring the machine is securely installed on a solid concrete foundation.

3. During installation, the machine must be set at an inclination angle in accordance with the requirements specified in the installation drawings.

4. The motor is mounted on guide rails to allow adjustment of belt tension. Ensure that the drive pulley and the motor pulley are perfectly parallel during installation.

5. After making adjustments according to the above requirements, manually rotate the rotor disc several times to check for any jamming or collisions.

How to Adjust the Installation Angle of the Spiral Sand Washing Machine

1. **Influence of Material Particle Size:** Specifically, if the material particles are relatively large and a higher sand washing concentration is required, the spiral sand washer should be installed at a larger inclination angle. This facilitates the use of gravity to accelerate the overflow speed. Conversely, if the material particles are relatively small and a lower sand washing concentration is needed, a smaller inclination angle may be appropriate.

2. Affected by the configuration of the . If the features a high configuration, resulting in greater processing capacity and higher production efficiency, the feed volume will be larger and faster. Consequently, the inclination angle of the connected can be increased to ensure sufficient feeding. Conversely, the inclination angle should be reduced to prevent material overload, which could lead to insufficient processing capacity and potential blockages.

3. Affected by ground firmness. If the installation site features sufficiently strong ground conditions, the inclination angle can be increased; otherwise, only a smaller angle is feasible.

4. Affected by the weight of the . If the unit’s own weight is relatively large, the inclination angle should be minimized.

Therefore, when installing the , specific parameters must be set based on your site conditions and operational requirements. These settings vary for each customer. Once installation is complete, operation and testing are required.

Operation

1. After starting the motor, the machine should run smoothly without any abnormal vibrations.

2. The bearing temperature rise must not exceed 35°C.

3. The idle running time is 2–4 hours. After the test run, check for loose connections and tighten them as needed.

Load Operation Test of Spiral Sand Washing Machine

1. Load operation testing may only be conducted after successful no-load operation.

2. The machine must operate smoothly without abnormal vibration.

3. The bearing temperature rise must not exceed 40°C.

4. No dust shall enter any seal.
