Simem Betonwash
Concrete Recycling


BETONWASH is the definitive solution for reclamation of excess concrete and slurry water from cleaning of trucks, pumps, mixer, buckets, etc.
BETONWASH separates solid materials over 0.15 mm diameter from the water through a spiral system rotating inside the inclined drum. Slurry water is discharged from the BETONWASH by overflow into storage tanks and is normally re-used in the concrete production process.
Some of the advantages that make BETONWASH the best choice are:
- Extraction of solid materials through a spiral system without the use of any filters often found in reclamation systems.
- Two models available with capacity of 10 or 25 m³/hour.
- Concrete can not get in contact with the drive unit ensuring mechanical integrity.
- Minimal wear of surfaces inside the inclined drum due to the low rotation speed and of the extraction spiral and the use of residue aggregate as a wear liner.
- With a wide variety of possible configurations, BETONWASH will fit any plant and site.
BETONWASH can be integrated with a Simem WATERWASH: this machine receives slurry water coming from Betonwash and treats it further till obtaining clean water that can be recycled into the production process.
