The LIPU Rotary Scrubber washes clay-bearing ore, rock, sand, gravel, and aggregates. Its rotating drum tumbles the feed with water to loosen clay and mud coatings. An integrated screen section separates the washed material by size before it moves to the next processing stage.
A rotary scrubber is a drum-type washing machine for materials coated with clay, mud, or other removable impurities. As the drum rotates, the feed tumbles and mixes with water. Repeated movement helps break down clay lumps and release coatings from the material surface.
Many rotary scrubbers combine a washing drum and a screening section. After washing, the screen separates material by size and helps remove loosened fines and wastewater.
Rotary scrubbers are commonly used to wash:
Material suitability depends on clay content, feed size, material hardness, required capacity, and target product size. A material test can help confirm the appropriate configuration.
Feed material and wash water enter the rotating drum. The drum’s internal liners lift and tumble the material as it moves toward the discharge end. This action, combined with water, loosens clay and mud coatings.
The washed material then moves through the screening section, where it is separated by size. Washed product and wastewater or loosened fines leave through their designated discharge paths. The exact flow arrangement depends on the selected machine configuration.
A rotary scrubber is generally used as a washing and pretreatment stage. A typical circuit may include a feed hopper or conveyor, rotary scrubber, screening or classification equipment, and downstream separation equipment selected for the material.
The scrubber washes and screens the feed; downstream equipment performs the required mineral separation or recovery.

What materials can a rotary scrubber wash?
It can wash clay-bearing ore, rock, sand, gravel, and aggregates. The correct configuration depends on the feed properties and required product size.
Does a rotary scrubber recover gold?
No. A rotary scrubber washes and screens feed material. Gold recovery requires downstream separation equipment selected for the ore and process.
What capacity can a rotary scrubber handle?
The listed models cover capacities from 1 to 400 TPH. Actual capacity depends on the selected model and material conditions.
What is the maximum feed size?
The listed models accept feed sizes up to 80 or 100 mm, depending on the model.
Can the rotary scrubber be customized?
Drum dimensions, liner material, screen mesh, and stationary or mobile configuration can be selected according to project requirements. Confirm the options for the required model with LIPU.
