The Bruce BWD Bucketwheel Dewaterer is a high-performance solution engineered to efficiently wash, dewater, and recover fines from a range of materials including sand, gravel, and recycled or marine-dredged sand. Designed for tough operating conditions, the BWD is available in a variety of models to suit different throughput requirements, with capacities ranging from 90 to 180 tonnes per hour. Each unit features a robust bucketwheel system with variable-speed control, an extended settling tank with integrated spiral, and adjustable weirs to maximise fines recovery and water clarification.
Built with durability and ease of maintenance in mind, the BWD is equipped with hard-wearing components such as rubber-lined slurry intake boxes and Hardox®-lined discharge chutes. The modular design allows for easy transport and setup, whether static or semi-mobile, making it a flexible choice for both permanent installations and mobile processing operations. With hydraulic or electric/hydraulic power options available, it can be configured to meet the specific energy and mobility needs of any site.
Operators benefit from the BWD’s simple setup, intuitive controls, and consistent output, reducing downtime and enhancing productivity. Proven in the field across a range of industries and backed by Bruce’s engineering expertise, the Bucketwheel Dewaterer is a reliable choice for those looking to improve water management, reduce fines loss, and streamline their material handling process.
Increased fines recovery
Maximise material retention with increased fines recovery, reducing valuable product loss during the washing process. The BWD’s extended settling tank and integrated spiral ensure efficient capture of fine particles for improved overall yield.
Variable speed
The variable speed bucket wheel allows precise control over the dewatering process, adapting to different material types and feed rates. This flexibility optimises performance, improves fines recovery, and reduces wear on components.
Rubber lined intake boxes
Rubber-lined intake boxes provide enhanced resistance to abrasion and wear, extending the lifespan of the equipment. They protect critical components from damage caused by heavy slurry flow, ensuring reliable and consistent operation.
