SEPARATE SAND & MINERAL ORES FROM SLIT AND UNWANTED FINES

OPERATING DESCRIPTION
The screw classifier is an ideal machine to separate water and silt and other unwanted fines
from sand and mineral ores. It consists of a slow rotating and gently elevating spiral screw in a
specially designed tub having an inclined trough.
Feed to the classifier, consisting of solids and water mixture, comes from washing screen. Silt
and unwanted micro-fines get floated and discharged over weirs. The coarser particles settle
at tub bottom. The screw continuously rakes up the clean settled coarser particles. As the
material is raked up the inclined trough, excess water is drained back into the tub. The
dewatered product is discharged at the upper end of the trough on to a conveyor belt that takes
it to a storage.
The hydraulic classification barrier between micro-fines and coarser solids can be set to a
required mesh, which can be accomplished to a high degree of efficiency by varying the
overflow velocity over adjustable weirs and turbulence by spiral shaft speed.
NAWASPIRALS come in a wide range of sizes to cover varied classification requirements and
specifications, and raking capacities upto 300 TPH, for application in sand preparation and
mineral beneficiation plants.

TECHNICAL FEATURES
, Fabricated and reinforced tank construction with heavy gauge steel
, Adjustable weirs for classification control
, Heavy duty and large diameter seamless tubular shaft designed for minimum deflection
, Submerged bearing assembly fitted with heavy duty dual roller bearings in a special
housing provided with multi layer labyrinth and oil seal protection against ingress of foreign
material
, Front end spherical & roller bearing combination assembly in a special housing provided
with oil seals against dust ingression
, Ruggedly built spiral flights welded to spider arms and protected by abrasion resistant wear
liner segments fastened by counter sunk head bolts; the whole assembly designed for a
durable and long life
, Hoisting arrangement for lifting spiral assembly on the submerged bearing side to prevent
clogging and for periodic inspection
, Simple drive train consisting of shaft mounted gear reducer fitted on front end of spiral
shaft, V-belts and electric motor
, Entire drive and front end bearing assembly mounted on a pivoted base such that the spiral
assembly can be raised and lowered
, Electronic frequency controller for step less speed variation of spiral rotation, for setting the
classification mesh (optional).
, A packaged free standing support frame of simple construction and easy installation
