CDE Install EvoWash™ Sand Washing Plant in Uruguay

CDE report that they have been commissioned by Bisio Hnos S.A, a family-run construction services firm, to install one of their state-of-the-art sand washing plant to modernise its operation and maximise material recovery in the face of growing sand shortages. Bisio Hnos S.A. had previously operated a traditional sand screw at its Salto extraction site.

“Older sand screw technology, which is still widely used in the industry, can work effectively if the operator is processing coarse sand with low silt and clay content. They are constrained, however, when it comes to processing and capturing fine material.” said Gustavo Brasil CDE's Business Development Manager.

Bisio Hnos S.A.say they are now processing up to 80 tons per hour of raw sand and gravel feed material and are supplying both concrete and mortar sands to the local construction industry. They add that they are now able to capture material that was previously sent to settling ponds as a waste output.
