A 350tph iron sand washing plant would be an industrial processing facility designed to handle and process up to 350 tons of iron sand per hour. This type of plant typically includes several key components and steps in the process:
Feeding System: A hopper or conveyor system to bring raw iron sand into the plant.
Scrubbing and Washing: Rotating trommels or spiral washers to remove clay, silt, and other impurities from the sand.
Screening: Vibrating screens to classify the sand by size and remove larger particles or debris.
Gravity Separation: Hydrocyclones or spiral concentrators to separate heavier iron particles from lighter sand particles based on density differences.
Magnetic Separation: Magnets or magnetic drum separators to further refine and concentrate the iron sand by removing non-magnetic impurities.
Thickening and Dewatering: Thickeners, dewatering screens, or filter presses to reduce the moisture content of the final product and recycle the process water.
Storage and Loading: Conveyors or stacking systems to store the processed iron sand and prepare it for shipment or further processing.
Such a plant is designed to maximize the recovery of usable iron particles from raw sand, while minimizing water usage and waste production. The specific configuration and equipment used can vary depending on the characteristics of the raw material and the desired quality of the final product.
