Floatex Filter Sand Washing Plants can easily surpass the sand cleanliness standards required by the UK Water Utilities, with configurations available for filter stations where the water is drawn from either fast or slow flowing rivers.

These plants are based on equipment that has been designed for the mining industry, this makes them robust and extremely reliable.

Floatex Sand Skimming Beams dredge the sand from the bed, enabling the fast turn around of slow sand filters, as there is no loss of throughput due to draining and recharging the bed also the beds are capable of returned into service within a much shorter time.

The Beams are also equipped for Wet Resanding which has the advantage that the sand will settle quicker and therefore result in a more evenly compacted bed, as the sand is laid from a fixed reference point the surface of the bed is level.
