Gravel washing screens are essential equipment in the aggregate processing industry, used to separate, classify, and clean gravel, sand, and other materials. They are commonly used in construction, mining, and landscaping to ensure high-quality end products by removing dirt, debris, and oversized particles.

Types of Gravel Washing Screens
1. Trommel Screens
