The invention relates to a method for washing and separating copper powder and a shaker with controllable water flow. The main process steps of the present invention are: first screen the mixture of non-metallic powder and copper powder obtained after crushing, and then pump the obtained qualified mixture particles to the shaker distribution device for distribution by electric pump, and evenly distribute them to Each shaker with controllable water flow is washing and sorting; this method is equipped with screening and material separation operations, combined with the improved washing shaker, to achieve uniform distribution of materials and improve production efficiency and separation effect and the method Simple and easy to implement; the shaker with controllable water flow of the present invention is mainly composed of a shaker body, a feed tank, a water adding tank and a water flow adjustment device, which improves the existing washing shaker technology, and is easy to add water in the production process, and It can realize the control of the flow of adding water, and can improve the efficiency of sorting operation. It has strong practicability, simple structure, and strong practicability and popularization value.
