Cleaning is effected exclusively by the impact of the high-
pressure water jet and the shearing processes within the raw
material bed. Without exception, all moving machine
components are located outside the material bed, thus
ensuring that they are not subjected to frictional wear.

Cleaning by high-pressure water jets

The cleaning of the bulk material to remove adhering fine

mineral particles and to dissolve any agglomerates that it may
contain takes place in the HYDRO-CLEAN® high-pressure
washing system in two operations:

The feed material passes into the washing drum of the

HYDRO-CLEAN® which contains one or two washing rotors
depending on the size. The washing rotors work with rotating,
high-pressure water jets which are directed onto raw material
with a size of 0/120 mm by the rotor nozzles. This action HYDRO-CLEAN® 2000 with two washing rotors

ploughs through and turns over the raw material. In doing so,
the adhering minerals and agglomerates are exposed and
the fine content is dispersed and separated with the waste Washing rotor with
rotating high-pressure
water.
water jets

The washed particles are continuously removed by means of

a corrugated-edged belt ready for subsequent water spraying
and classification.

The high-pressure water pump is driven by an electric motor

and is mounted within the high-pressure washing system.
In areas of unstable energy supply, a diesel aggregate
produce the electricity.

SYSTEM DESIGN
Due to its compact size and weight, overall operating and structural costs are considerably lower than with traditional
washing systems – which also require more equipment and a greater footprint. A traditional washing system can require
up to three screens along with a log washer or screw. With a HYDRO-CLEAN® unit, the producer only needs an
additional wash screen for the HYDRO-CLEAN® discharged material.

Advantages and benefits

n Minimal wear, as all moving machine parts of the washing
rotor unit are located outside the material flow
n Frugal use of water as a natural resource of 0.1 to 0.2 m³
per tonne of feed raw material

n Profit increase by reducing operating costs

n High availability thanks to optimum workmanship and
selected components
n Excellent cleaning of the feed material resulting from
the high-pressure water jets penetrating the pores and
crevices of the required fraction
n Gentle handling of pure noble metals and precious stones
