wash plants.
Purpose-built systems for cleaning, classifying, and dewatering aggregate and sand products.
Material washing systems
CLEAN MATERIAL. CLEAN RESULTS.
Wash plants are used to remove silt, clay, dust, and excess fines from sand, gravel, and crushed aggregates. They improve product quality, meet spec requirements, and allow recovery of saleable fines in quarrying and recycling operations.
MIMICO supplies mobile and fixed washing systems to suit a range of applications — including rinsing screens, log washers, sand screws, hydrocyclones, and full modular wash plants.
modular solutions engineered for long-term performance.
Modular Wash Plants.
Modular wash plants combine multiple washing functions — including rinsing, scrubbing, screening, and dewatering — into a single compact unit. Designed for high-output sites, these systems are ideal for fixed installations where product quality, efficiency, and water recovery are key.
Plants can be tailored to suit specific feed types and final product gradations, with modular components selected for capacity and space constraints.

Key wash plant Features
more about wash plants.
REMOVES SILT, CLAY & FINES
Wash plants are engineered to effectively remove fine particles such as silt, clay, and excess dust that can compromise product quality. This results in cleaner, spec-compliant aggregates that are more suitable for high-performance applications such as concrete and asphalt production.
WATER MANAGEMENT INTEGRATION
Our modular systems can be paired with water treatment solutions including settling tanks, hydrocyclones, and filter presses. These integrations enable closed-loop water recovery, reduce environmental impact, and lower operational water costs over time.
SUITABLE FOR MULTIPLE FEED TYPES
Wash plants are designed to handle a range of feed materials including naturally occurring sands, crushed quarry rock, recycled aggregates, and fines from manufactured sand operations. This flexibility makes them suitable for a wide range of quarrying and processing applications.
MODULAR DESIGN OPTIONS
Choose from complete modular plant setups or individual components based on capacity, site footprint, and production goals. Modular construction makes it easier to scale or reconfigure the system as your operation grows or shifts.

Frequently Asked Questions.
What materials can wash plants process?
Wash plants clean natural sand, crushed stone, recycled aggregates, and fines used in manufactured sand. Media selection and water flow rate depend on the feed characteristics.
How does a modular wash plant work?
Modular systems include rinsing screens, scrubbing elements, sand classification, and dewatering — often in a skid or containerised format. Components are selected to match site layout and spec output.
Do wash plants recycle water?
Yes. Many plants are designed for closed-loop water recovery using clarifiers, hydrocyclones, and filter presses to minimise freshwater demand and environmental impact.
Are mobile wash systems efficient?
Mobile washing units are ideal for temporary or multi-site operations. While smaller than fixed plants, they provide solid throughput and spec-compliant product.
What maintenance is required?
Routine cleaning, media inspection, pump servicing, and monitoring water flow and pressure. MIMICO supports wash plant performance with spares and on-site service plans.
