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
