Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Spiral classifiers... do not normally set up a turbulent stirring action in the classifying pool, but cross-pieces can be bolted to the spiral shoes to produce this.... As settled sands emerge from the "V" end of the pool, they bring with them some trapped or "drag-out" slime which should properly have overflowed at the weir. Washing sprays are often used to return this material to the pool. [The] spiral classifier... carries its sands upward on the rising side of the helix, so that sprays can be used at any point and there is a good channel for running their washed product straight down to the pool. 3, record 1, English, - spiral%20classifier
