Why Washing Equipment Matters
Washing systems play a key role in removing unwanted fines, clay, silt, and organic material from aggregate products. Proper washing enhances product quality, meets specification requirements, and reduces wear and tear on downstream equipment.
However, not all washing equipment is created equal. The right system depends on several variables, including:
- Material type and gradation
- Moisture content
- Clay or contaminant levels
- Production capacity needs
- Site footprint and layout
Let’s explore two leading manufacturers—Eagle Iron Works and Dieffenbach—and how their technologies can help meet your material washing demands.
