What Are Log Washers?
Log washers are used to clean and polish rocks and aggregate mixtures that have tough- to-remove substances present. These machines spray a stream of water onto the rocks while they are rotating. This works to remove plastic and clay contaminants from the mixture.
When used in aggregate mixtures, deeply cleaned rocks that are free of any dirt or debris are less likely to cause damage to equipment or people. Log washers help to remove any clay or mud that may be on the rocks. Clay and mud on your rocks can be problematic when the rocks are used in mixtures with specific requirements.
What Are Sand Screws?
Sand screws are specifically designed for processing sand. They get their name from the unique screw shape that helps them perform their processing. Sand screws have a wide, flat blade that helps to break up clumps of sand and mix them with other materials. Sand screws produce more uniform and consistent sand which leads to a better-quality finished product. They are a popular choice in many aggregate mixture applications, as they help to reduce the amount of time and energy needed to process sand.
Using screws in the aggregate mixture processes helps reduce the amount of dust created. Screws help to chop up larger pieces of aggregate, thus reducing the amount of dust created when the material is moved around. Screws can help to keep the work environment cleaner and more comfortable for workers.
