Terex Washing Systems says that the FM 300 Compact is designed to deliver up to 300tonnes/hour of dewatered sand from a single modular chassis. The largest model in the FM Compact range, the machine suits use in quarries and is aimed at operators seeking clean, spec-compliant sand with a minimal footprint.
The unit brings together a collection tank, centrifugal slurry-pump system, hydrocyclone arrangement and a high-frequency dewatering screen, providing an integrated solution for removing clay and silt while maintaining a compact footprint of 10.13m in height, 5.36m in width, and 8.69m in length. The system uses high-efficiency, rubber-lined hydrocyclones to remove fines and can produce up to two grades of clean sand. Wear components, including liners in the underflow box and hydrocyclones, are replaceable in either rubber or ceramic to support extended service life.
The dewatering screen is a linear motion, high-frequency unit, with modular polyurethane media designed for straightforward change-out. A self-regulating, float-level mechanism maintains consistent tank volume and protects the pump from running dry, supporting consistent operation throughout varying feed conditions. All slurry pipework on the machine is rubber-lined for improved durability.
The machine is designed with accessible maintenance zones, including clear access to pump and motor assemblies. Vibration-isolation mounts help reduce structural load, and emergency stops are located across the plant. Optional control-panel integration is available, and walkways are fully galvanised with GRP flooring to provide safe access to operational areas. A sloped tank and low-friction discharge chute help minimise fine material build-up and maintain smooth flow through the system.
