Due to clay, fines and stones within sand it will be
necessary to clean the sandbagger to obtain good
flow.
Stones:
If sand has stones larger than 1-3/
4 inches, the screens will stop
entry of these stones into the
auger area. As a result the dump
body should be checked for large
stones and or debris between
loads.
Clay or Fines:
When sand is wet and contains
clay and/or fines, the material will
build on screens and auger flight
which reduces sand flow.
Sandbagger should be periodically
checked for this condition. Should
this condition exist it will be
necessary to wash or clean the
sandbagger screens to remove
build up.
Sand is corrosive and therefore it is important that
the sandbagger be kept clean. It is recommended
that the sandbagger be cleaned (washed) at the
end of each shift and before storing. It may also
be necessary to wash the sandbagger during a
shift to clean the screen or auger.

•
empty all sand from bucket

shake bucket forward - run sandbagger

tilt bucket rearward - shake and run
sandbagger
