Eagle Iron Works’ Classifying Tanks play a critical role in washing and classifying sand by removing silts, managing water content, and producing multiple in-spec products from a single feed. As slurry enters the tank, sand particles settle by size along its length. The stalled paddle in each station indicates that enough material has accumulated to open the valves, which release sand into flumes to be recombined for downstream dewatering. EIW’s advanced control system and sand reblending software ensure consistent, spec-grade products even as feed material varies.
EIW Classifying Tanks are available in stationary, semi-portable, and portable configurations to meet a range of operational needs. Stationary tanks offer high customization, semi-portable setups allow for faster installation, and portable units provide flexibility for mobile operations.
A standout example of long-term reliability comes from Silvi Materials, which has successfully operated two EIW Classifying Tanks since the late 1990s. Their equipment continues to perform with minimal downtime, prompting the company to replicate the setup at a new site. According to Brian Adams, Silvi’s Area Manager of Sand Mining and Exports, the proven performance and dependability of EIW’s equipment made it an easy decision to stick with what works.
