Cover Story
McLanahan UltraWASH Plants
With a long history of designing, manufacturing and installing modular wash equipment, McLanahan’s line of UltraWASH modular wash plants are the latest line from the company. Engineered to include all McLanahan equipment that helps producers meet their process requirements, the UltraWASH provides the reliability, simplicity and efficiency that producers need from a modular plant.
All equipment that make up an UltraWASH plant, including the vibratory screen, hydrocyclones, dewatering screen, sump and pump, is based on the company’s well-known, field-proven designs. UltraWASH plants provide a quick, easy-to-install processing system. These modular wash systems are ideal for producers facing criteria such as planning
permits, multiple locations, short-term deployment, or an unknown/variable feed stock (e.g. C&D waste streams applications)
that make implementing a customized, fixed processing solution difficult.
Currently available in six sizes and configurations, the UltraWASH can
produce up to three aggregate products and up
to two sand products. There is a single process
water feed point, as well as a single effluent
discharge point.
McLanahan currently offers several additional configurations and add-ons to the UltraWASH, including:
• Singleordualsandproduct
• Feed preparation (log washer, blade mill, coarse material screw)
• Attritioningmoduleforspecialtysandproduction
• Organics removal module
• Watertreatmentwithhighdensityorpastestyle thickener
• Filterpressforcompletewastewatertreatment
Ease of maintenance
McLanahan knows the importance of uptime, so the UltraWASH is designed with ease of maintenance in mind. The pump trolley service platform allows the pumps to slide out from underneath the chassis for greater access when performing maintenance activities, such as changing the impellers or replacing casing liners. A foot pedal for lifting the discharge pipe from the pump and a locking mechanism for then holding the pipe aloft offer the clearance needed for the pumps to roll out on the trolley service platform unrestricted.
A retractable feed conveyor is an option that allows easier access to the feedbox when it comes time for servicing. Rather than lifting personnel to the height of the feedbox to perform maintenance, we bring the feedbox to them. With the push of a button, the conveyor will retract and the feedbox will be brought closer to ground level, making it both easier and safer for your personnel to maintain the UltraWASH.
Another maintenance feature included in the UltraWASH Modular Wash Plants is easier access to the aggregate hood. Simply remove the section of grating from the walkway behind the aggregate hood, slide the aggregate hood back and reattach the grating in front of it. This creates a platform for accessing inside the aggregate discharge hood when needed.
