Sand washer for waste water treatment
Efficiently separate sand from wastewater while simultaneously reducing organic content, perfect for optimizing water recycling processes and enhancing sludge treatment in high-demand environments.

Separates and Washes Sand from Wastewater
The Sand Washer CLSW from WAMGROUP is engineered to enhance wastewater treatment through efficient sand and organic material separation. This system achieves high separation efficiency by utilizing a truncated cone-shaped mixing tank with integrated rotating agitator and screw conveyor. Ideal for municipal and industrial waste processing, it ensures less than 3% organic content remains in the dewatered sand. With flow rates up to 30 liters per second, this system is suitable for continuous operations and effective in producing clean water and sand-free effluent. Constructed from 304L/316L stainless steel, it offers excellent corrosion resistance. The automation integrates a solenoid-controlled wash water system, allowing precise management of water input for efficient organic removal. Its compact design facilitates installation in narrow spaces, making it a versatile choice for diverse facilities handling wastewater from fruit and vegetable processing to industrial sludge treatment.
