What is a dewatering screen? Any material that comes into contact with water will get wet. Material needs to be washed or transported as concentrate and waste pulp in the enrichment of the ore for the production of the aggregate and sand necessary for ready-mixed concrete production in ore preparation facilities and in the construction sector.

In this plant 700 t/h ore (containing 51% iron) is treated to produce 350–400 t/h concentrate with iron contents of 63%. The tailing of the iron ore beneficiation plant (containing 17% iron) at a mass flow rate of 300–350 t/h in slurry form with 5–8% w/v solids% is usually dewatered in two parallel thickeners (D = 55 m, H = 6.6 m).
