McLanahan - Dewatering Screens Brochure

Dewatering Screens have a wide variety of applications, including dewatering, desliming, degritting, rinsing, scrubbing, sizing and washing. They are designed to produce a consistent drip-free product and handle materials such as sand, gravel, crushed aggregates, frac sand, industrial sands, mineral sands, hard rock, precious metals ore, coal, iron ore, salt and other granular materials. Surface moisture as low as 8% has been experienced with Dewatering Screens; however, final moisture is dependent on surface area, surface morphology, and contact angle. Finer materials, such as those processed in fines recovery systems where the material is 100% passing 100 mesh (150µm), will dewater to a drip-free consistency, which conveys and stacks, but may have a surface moisture content of more than 20%.
