Is Your Sand Washing Efficiency Holding You Back?

In the construction and aggregate industries, clean sand isn’t just a quality standard—it’s a performance driver. Yet many producers still rely on outdated washing methods that leave behind up to 8% clay and silt residue, reducing concrete strength by as much as 15%. That’s where LSX Series Long Spiral Sand Washer comes in—with a proven upgrade in both purity and productivity.

How Does Long Spiral Technology Work?

Unlike traditional short-spiral designs, LSX washers feature an extended spiral length (up to 12 meters) that increases contact time between water and sand particles—by up to 40% compared to standard models. This allows fine contaminants like clay, dust, and organic matter to be removed more thoroughly before discharge. The controlled flow rate (typically 2–3 m³/min per unit) ensures optimal scrubbing without excessive water use or loss of valuable fines.

Real Results from Real Users

“We reduced our sand’s clay content from 7.2% to 1.3% within one month—and saw a 22% increase in production output.” — Mark Thompson, Operations Manager at ABC Aggregates, India

Our data shows consistent improvements across multiple sites:

• Contaminant Reduction: Average drop from 6.5% to 1.5% in total silt content
• Particle Size Consistency: Improved grading curve—fewer undersized fines lost during washing
• Energy Efficiency: 18% less power consumption due to optimized water circulation

Why It Matters Beyond Clean Sand

Cleaner sand means stronger concrete. But it also leads to fewer machine jams, lower maintenance costs, and longer equipment life. One client reported a 30% reduction in filter replacements and a 25% drop in downtime over six months after switching to LSX technology.

Still wondering if your current system is holding you back? Ask yourself: Is your sand consistently below 2% silt? Are you seeing frequent wear on your screens or pumps?

Whether you're producing ready-mix concrete, asphalt, or building blocks, every ton of sand should be worth more—not less. Let’s make sure yours is.
