Today, most of the better gravel pits have been
exhausted. Removal of large amounts of clay, soft
stone or both is necessary for profitable marketing of
specification aggregates. Most states now require
strict adherence to abrasion and soundness tests and
demand that all sizes of aggregate be thoroughly
scrubbed, washed and rinsed before screening. Years
of experience and know-how in the design and manu-
facture of aggregate equipment stand behind every
Telsmith machine and guarantee that Telsmith equip-

ment performs to the highest standards. No other
type of ore or aggregate washing machine does such a
thorough job of cleansing as the Telsmith Super Scrub-
ber. Along with Telsmith washing screens, screw re-
washers, classifiers and tanks It has solved the most
difficult washing problems encountered. When "specs"
are hard to meet, aggregate producers the world over
depend on Telsmith- efficient equipment for mines,
quarries and gravel pits.
PORTABLE WASHING PLANTS-
For mobility in washing plants,
successful producers rely on Tel-
smith Portables which combine
rugged stationary equipment in
various arrangements to meet spe-
cific applications. Typical combina-
tions include (both portable and
semi-portable plants): Screening
and Classifying Plants (Washing
Screen and Classifier); Scrubbing
and Classifying Plants (Scrubber,
Washing-Sizing Screen and Classi-
fier); and Washing, Screening and
Classifying Plants (Rotary Screen,
Washing-Sizing Screen and Classi-
fier). Consult factory for details.

The solution to even the most difficult washing
problems is the Telsmith Super-Scrubber. Super-
Scrubbers for stone and gravel are covered on this and
the opposite page, those for ores on page 6, and those
for sand are covered on page 7 with a table of speci-
fications covering all types on page 7. This high speed,
rotary scrubber has proven to be very effective with
a minimum of water, power and upkeep expense. I n
fact, these units have proven so efficient on such a
wide variety of difficult washing problems that they
have almost completely replaced the former demand
for log-washers. It has been found that the Telsmith
Super-Scrubber will, in most cases, do a much better
job of dirt and clay removal than the log-washer and
at a lower cost per ton. It also far surpasses the wash-
ing action of the ordinary rotary washing screen.
All of this is brought about by the intense impact
and grinding action which takes place in the high

speed drum of the Telsmith Super-Scrubber. The
drum is rotated so rapidly that the aggregate is car-
ried up much higher than in a washing screen. The
powerful impact of the falling and cascading rock or
gravel disintegrates lumps of clay or soft rock. The
grinding action which takes place at the same time
and as the entire mass rolls in the drum with all sizes
of aggregate particles rubbing and grinding against
each other, very effectively disintegrates soft particles
and removes any coatings on all sizes of particles. This
high-speed, falling-cascading-grinding action cannot
be had in a log or any other type washer.
The Telsmith Super-Scrubber is just as effective
on rock as on sand and gravel and many are being
used very successfully in quarry operations. Their
high speed, ball-mill action is proving to be the quick-
est and the lowest cost method of removing dirt,
clay, soft particles and coatings of this same ex-

traneous matter. This is also true in the case of ores
containing dirt and clay which must be removed
before shipment or before further treatment.
Elimination of wood chips, roots, coal, vegetation,
shale, etc., is very often a problem requiring special
additional equipment. Consult the factory.
In the Super-Scrubbers for stone, gravel, mixed
sand and gravel and for ores, the wash water enters
at the discharge end of the drum and flows to the
intake end against the travel of the aggregate or ore,
carrying the sand, fine material, dirt and clay through
the screen plates at the feed end. These have radial

blades which push the coarse aggregate away from the
screen plates, preventing excessive wear. See Figure
416, page 6. The clean water gives the aggregate or
ore a final rinsing just before being discharged from
the drum. A further rinsing with clean water takes
place as the discharged aggregate or ore travels over
the perforated trommel attached to the end of the
drum. See Figure 412. An unloading chute, also shown

ELS ITH
The Telsmith Standard Super-Scrubber is an
exceptionally well constructed machine. The main
supporting frame is a very substantial structure, fabri-
cated of steel I-beams and channels, welded together
with heavy gusset plates. Heavy cross members sup-
port the wide, large diameter rollers which have heavy-
duty roller bearings on both sides well protected
against the entrance of moisture. The roller rings are
of high carbon steel and are accurately welded to the
thick steel drum. The drum shell is of heavy steel
plate protected by renewable liner plates of wear-
resisting steel. Gears and pinions are cut steel. All
models are equipped with a heavy, renewable steel in-
take chute with lining. The countershaft on which the
pinion is mounted is journaled in roller bearings. All
sizes have special roller bearing guide idlers to prevent
end travel and to keep the drum in perfect alignment.
A great deal of care is taken at the factory when
assembling these Super-Scrubbers to make sure that
all parts are in proper alignment. A large and ex-
pensive jig on which the drum is mounted for welding
and on which the roller ring guide stops are welded to
the drum, prevents misalignment and excessive roller
ring wear when the machine is put into operation.
The same care is taken when the drum is assembled
on the main frame to make sure that the roller ring
and rollers are in proper alignment, assuring minimum

upkeep expense on all operating parts. Care must
also be exercised by the customer when the Super-
Scrubber is installed to make sure that no distortion
takes place in the Super-Scrubber main franie.
The construction of Telsmith Standard Super-
Scrubbers for stone, gravel and sand is described
in the opposite column. The Heavy-Duty Super-
Scrubbers for ore, as illustrated on this page, are avail-
able in the 84" and 96" sizes and are much heavier
and more expensive machines including the following
differences in design. (1) The main supporting frame
has heavier members. (2) The drum is thicker and
has heavy, manganese steel liners and lifting blades.
(3) The roller rings and rollers are wider, larger in
diameter and heavier throughout. ( 4) The roller shafts
are larger in diameter and have larger roller bearings.
(5) The drive pinion and gear are heavier. (6) In some
sizes, drive gear is on intake end of drum with a
shorter, heavier countershaft.
These Heavy-Duty Super-Scrubbers are in success-
ful use in many different kinds of mining all over the
world and are particularly outstanding in cleaning
dirty taconite ores in Minnesota.

SUPER
SCRUBBERS
Telsmith Super-Scrubbers usually give best results
when the sand and gravel is treated together as de-
scribed on page 5 (see Fig. 412). This is especially
true when clay or dirt is present in the fine aggregate
as well as in the coarse aggregate. When coarse aggre-
gate is dirty and sand is clean, we often recommend
that the sand be removed ahead of the Super-Scrubber
by means of a vibrating screen equipped with spray
bars. In this way only the coarse aggregate goes into
the Super-Scrubber, and thus receives the most in-
tense and effective action.
When it is desired to scrub and clean sand only,
or fine aggregate containing sand and very little large
or coarse aggregate, we recommend the special Super-
Scrubber for sand as described and shown on this page.
Super-Scrubbers for sand, as shown below, have a
blank plate on the feed end with a perforated plate on
the discharge end. The latter allows sand and water to
flow out onto the blank trornmel but retains a deep
bed of gravel or stone in the drum, which helps to clean
and scrub the sand and fine aggregate. A vibrating
screen with spray bars is often used following the
Super-Scrubber to again rinse material and make re-
quired separations of aggregate.
If you have a tough washing problem, send us a
small sample of the material in an air-tight container
together with complete information such as screen
analysis, capacity required, amount of water available
and sizing desired.
