A review of the clay purification methods which are used at the present time is given, together with a description of a simple laboratory continuous clay‐washing plant composed of a screw feed, a rotary blunger, sand separator, cone‐bowl classifier, and settling tanks. The methods of operation with a sample of Pacific Northwest kaolin and the results obtained are described.
