Dewatering screens are typically single deck, adjustable incline, linear motion screens utilized to dewater fine aggregates prior to stockpiling. They are typically fed with a sand and water slurry with a maximum feed size of 10 mm (3/8”), utilize polyurethane screen media ranging from #10 – #60 mesh and will typically produce a finished product with an approximate moisture content of 8– 15 percent by weight. Available MDS series screen sizes range from 1200 mm (4’) wide x 2400 mm (8’) long to 1800 mm (6’) wide x 4000 mm (13’) long with processing rates up to 210 mtph (230 stph) on a single unit.

Any material that comes into contact with water will get wet. Material needs to be washed or transported as concentrate and waste pulp in the enrichment of the ore for the production of the aggregate and sand necessary for ready-mixed concrete production in ore preparation facilities and in the construction sector.
After a certain stage, washed sand must be purged of free water prior to use in aqueous concentrate, for transportation or for the following process. Dewatering processes remove the free water from liquid-solid mixtures through the use of screens.
They are low cost and effective simple equipment to remove moisture from solid materials so that they can be transported by belt conveyors.
Dewatering screen can be used in variety of different industries.
Improve the product quality by reducing moisture content.
Dewatering screens assist in complying with environmental regulations by minimizing the amount of water losses.
