Bucket Wheels
Redefining Material Separation Efficiency
Washing and classifying are the most important stages of processing. Coarse-grained material is already cleaned during screening.
For fine-grained materials like sand or grain mixtures, special washing, dewatering, and recovery systems are necessary. The STICHWEH washing and dewatering bucket wheel was specifically designed for this purpose.
The mixture of sand, gravel, and water is fed into the bucket wheel by a suction dredger, compressed-air dredger, floating grab, or preparation plant.
Solids are deposited in the bucket wheel tub and are excavated by the bucket wheel. The cups of the bucket wheel are equipped with special plastic screens of different gap widths.
A natural vacuum is created through the extended suction chambers, reducing the degree of dewatering to a minimum. In the tub, a number of adjustable overflow weirs are located, making it possible to obtain the finest sand or eliminate undesired fine sand.
