The PHOENIX / KISA Bucket Wheel – Versatility In Aggregate & Dredge Processing

The PHOENIX/KISA Bucket Wheel captures, de-slimes and dewaters sand, frac sand, waste fines, specialty sands and gravel from dredging and sand processing operations. The Bucket Wheel is designed for high solids recoveries with exceptionally low power requirements, even from dilute slurries such as dredge spoil. The dewatered solids are readily conveyable and stackable. Aggregate wash plants and industrial applications with granular slurries can obtain up to 1700+ STPH high solid handling capacity with PHOENIX/KISA bucket wheels.

PHOENIX / KISA Bucket Wheel


PHOENIX/KISA Bucket Wheel advantages:

  • Applications cover a wide range of materials including rock, gravel, and fine or coarse sand.
  • Reduces energy, maintenance costs and capital investment.
  • Separates silts and other deleterious materials from various feedstocks while dewatering and transferring product directly to belt conveyor.
  • Unique dewatering design provides high solids capacity of +1700 STPH, sand recovery up to 99.5%, and handles multiple product streams simultaneously
  • Load-sensitive automation adjusts to varying feed rates.
  • Planetary drives provide low power consumption.
  • Handles large surges in feed making it ideal for dredging.
  • Large sumps provide high hydraulic capacity.
  • Superior performance, greater reliability, and lower maintenance costs than sand screws…
  • Slow operating speed and absence of vibration and robust materials of construction ensures lower maintenance costs versus sand screws, hydrocyclones and dewatering screens.
