The present invention discloses a mud-sand separation device for water conservancy projects and a method for using the same, and belongs to the technical field of mud-sand separation. A mud-sand separation device for water conservancy projects includes a base, and also includes: a sand-stone separation cylinder, which is tiltedly arranged on the upper side of the base through a bracket, and the bottom and top of the sand-stone separation cylinder are respectively provided with a feed port and a
discharge port; a separation seat, which is fixedly arranged at the bottom end of the sand-stone separation cylinder, and a
silt separation cylinder for mud-water separation is arranged in the separation seat, and a plugging component for blocking the opening of the
silt separation cylinder is arranged on the separation seat; a
belt conveyor, which is fixedly arranged on the base, and the front end of the
belt conveyor is placed on the lower side of the
silt separation cylinder; and a heating shell, which is coated on the upper side of the
belt conveyor; the present invention can effectively separate, process and utilize water, silt and sand and gravel, ensure the
continuous operation of the separation work, reduce the
workload of the staff, and improve the mud-sand separation effect and mud-sand separation efficiency.
