CDE Global is setting out to revolutionise the mobile washing equipment market for quarrying and recycling applications with the launch of its M2500 on the global market at bauma.

“The CDE M2500 is the first feeding and screening system designed specifically for washing projects and incorporates the CDE Prograde screening technology and Evowash sand washing plant on the one unit,” says Peter Craven, marketing manager for the Northern Irish manufacturer. “The unit can be used to produce up to three washed aggregates and two washed sand products.”
The integration of the Evowash sand washing element within the M2500 system has major benefits for the customer due to a substantially reduced plant footprint and advanced transfer point technology, which effectively eliminates spillage and enhances plant efficiency, he says.
“The Evowash sand plant is fed by gravity,” explains Terence Bratton, CDE design manager. “This eliminates the requirement for additional conveyors, sumps and pumps. This has the effect of not only reducing the plant footprint but also ensures substantial cost savings for the customer.”

The M2500 is available in a variety of configurations and can accommodate production of up to 140 tonnes per hour (tph) of washed sand. The unit can be fed via an integrated feed hopper and belt feeder or can be fed directly from a separate mobile crushing or screening plant.
The standard M2500 machine comes equipped with a feed hopper with a 9 cu m capacity and a static tipping grid. This feeds an integrated 14-m conveyor with 1,000-mm belt, which then delivers material to the CDE Prograde P75 rinsing screen. The screen options include two or three 5 m by 1.5 m screen decks and a choice of wire mesh, rubber or polyurethane screen media.
The integrated Evowash sand washing plant can produce up to 150 tph of washed sand with dual sand options also available. The total production capacity of both washed aggregates and sand from the M2500 system in standard set up is 200 tph.
CDE Global has completed major projects throughout Europe, the Middle East and India with capacities from 20 tph to the two largest sand washing systems in the world in Qatar with capacities of 1,200 tph.
The company has extensive experience in sand washing, quarry crusher dust washing, lignite removal, USPGA golf sands production, filter sand production, construction and demolition waste recycling and iron ore washing.
“What we do is very simple,” explains Tony Convery, CDE chairman. “We wash sand and aggregates. We focus on washing in a variety of different industries and this focus ensures that the equipment that we offer is the most efficient available on the global market.”
“Bauma is without doubt the premier global exhibition for our industry,” says Craven. “It is for this reason that we have decided to launch the new CDE M2500 at bauma in order that we can reach the largest possible global audience.”
The introduction of the M2500 is a culmination of years of experience in the delivery of major washing equipment installations for all of the major names in the global construction materials industry.
It has been developed by CDE in response to a demand for a fully integrated feeding, screening and washing plant that has been specifically designed for the washing equipment market.
“While other variations on mobile wet screening started life as dry screens which were then converted by the crude addition of some spray bars, the M2500 has been specifically designed as a mobile washing plant,” explains Craven.
