Spiral Classifier

Spiral classifiers and screw sand washers are used in mineral processing and aggregates. An inclined screw rotates slowly in a tank, lifting and dewatering settled coarse particles while fines leave with the overflow. Wear is concentrated on the spiral flights and tank walls.

Materials for similarly named parts may differ by OEM, machine model and operating conditions. Confirm the machine model, OEM drawing number and measured dimensions before ordering or manufacture.

Material Information

  • Mn13Cr2 manganese steel: a candidate for impact-abrasion duties involving large gravel particles.
  • Hardox 400/500: wear-resistant plate options for highly abrasive zones with lower impact loads.
  • Polyurethane elastomer: typical hardness Shore A 80-95, offering corrosion resistance and noise reduction for suitable wet, fine-particle abrasion duties.
  • YG8/YG15 cemented carbide may be considered for wear tips on spiral-flight edges after suitability assessment. Confirm grade, attachment, impact and abrasion requirements separately, and evaluate life under actual operating conditions.
  • 316L stainless steel: a corrosion-resistant option, subject to compatibility with the process chemistry.

Brand Applicability

Manufacturing Services in China

From Technical Assessment to Finished-Part Delivery

ANRANST provides customers worldwide with engineering assessment, production at certified foundries to drawing, quality control and finished-part delivery for custom wear parts and industrial spares, with scope to support other custom industrial parts.

01

Drawing and Engineering Review

We review mating surfaces and interface dimensions and assess material, heat treatment and manufacturing feasibility.

02

Material and Heat-Treatment Specification

Material grades and heat-treatment processes are specified order by order, confirmed in the technical agreement and tracked through production.

03

Quality Control

Drawing confirmation, material and process control, production tracking, inspection and acceptance coordination.

04

Finished-Part Delivery

We coordinate manufacturing, quality confirmation, packaging and delivery of complete finished parts in a workable, closed-loop supply process.

Provide the existing model, drawings, drawing or part numbers, materials or operating conditions so we can identify the appropriate technical review and supply route.
