Sand Washer In Operation At Like Sand Pit
An Eagle sand washing unit is now in operation at the Roy Like pit east of the Iowa Electric plant on the Maquoketa River. Owner Tom Henderson says it will supply washed and graded sand for various uses for Mendelson. Harold J. White of Eagle Iron Works installed and adjusted the unit, which can wash and grade 80 to 100 tons per hour. The screw driven washer tumbles and scrubs the sand while squeezing water out as it rises. Henderson plans a similar unit for his Manchester concrete plant.
