Log Washer

Log washers are very high energy units designed to disintegrate tough clay particles. With longer wash tubs they provide significantly increased retention time. Retention can further be increased by switching to straight paddle design and higher working angles. All MEKA Log washers can be provided with spray bars to make a final rinse before the product leaves the wash box.

Applications

Log Washers are used for aggressive washing of the following materials and disintegration of plastic clays.

Aggregate
Plastic Clay
Recycled Aggregates
Construction and Excavation Waste
Slag
Copper Mine
Iron Mine
Gold Mine
