The McLanahan Ultra Fines Recovery (UFR) System is an advanced fine material recovery solution designed to efficiently recover nominally +400 mesh (38µm) solids from wash plant effluent streams.
The integrated system combines a sump, pump, hydrocyclones, and dewatering screen into a compact modular unit for efficient fine material processing and water recovery.
Engineered to deliver high-efficiency ultra-fine material recovery without the use of added chemicals, the UFR System produces a recovered material that is both conveyable and stackable, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial applications. These include sand processing, iron ore, coal recovery, ash processing, industrial sands, frac sand, and other fine material recovery operations.
The Ultra Fines Recovery System provides one of the finest size-fraction recovery solutions available while improving product yield, reducing waste, and supporting more sustainable washing and processing operations.
Features & benefits:
