Sand Making & Processing Solutions
We design and configure sand making and processing systems around your raw materials, required capacity, target sand grading and final application.
- Process Modules: Sand making and shaping, washing and dewatering, drying, screening and classification.
- Project Scope: Individual equipment, complete production lines and upgrades to existing sand processing systems.
- Selection Basis: Feed size, moisture, clay and fines content, required product sizes and site conditions.
What Do You Want to Produce?
Manufactured Sand for Concrete
Configure sand making, shaping and grading stages to meet the particle size, shape and fines requirements of the intended concrete application.
Graded Sand for Dry-Mix Mortar
Prepare sand fractions with controlled grading, moisture and temperature for products such as tile adhesive, plastering mortar and masonry mortar.
Washed Sand for Construction
Select washing, classification and dewatering equipment according to the raw sand condition, cleanliness requirements and required product grading.
Start with Your Raw Material & Product Requirements
Raw Material Conditions
- Material source: crushed rock, natural sand, quarry fines or another feed.
- Maximum feed size and available particle size distribution.
- Current moisture and seasonal variations.
- Clay, silt, rock fines and other impurities.
- Available material photos, samples or test results.
Production Requirements
- Required capacity and planned operating hours.
- Final application and required sand grading.
- Target moisture, cleanliness and fines content.
- Number of finished sand fractions and storage requirements.
- Site space, available power, water and fuel.
Choose a Suitable Processing Route
The required stages depend on the incoming material and the intended use of the sand. A project may need one processing module or a combination of several stages.
1. Manufactured Sand Production
A VSI sand making machine can be considered for further size reduction and particle shaping. Screening separates the required sizes, while air classification can be added where suitable to adjust excess fines.
Dry processing requires suitable feed conditions. Material moisture and clay content should be assessed before selecting this route.
2. Sand Washing & Dewatering
Washing may be required where silt, clay or other removable impurities affect product quality. Equipment selection should also consider the recovery of useful fine sand.
Water supply, water recycling and sludge handling need to be included in the layout. Dewatered sand still contains moisture; further drying may be required for dry-mix applications.
3. Sand Preparation for Dry-Mix Mortar
Drying is selected according to the incoming moisture and the required outlet condition. Sand that already meets the moisture requirement may not need a dryer.
Screen sizes and storage compartments are selected around the mortar products and their grading requirements. Temperature control and protection from moisture are also considered before batching.
These are reference routes. The final arrangement is developed around the material assessment, product requirements and site layout.
Connect Sand Preparation with Mortar Production
We configure sand preparation around the requirements of your dry-mix mortar products, including sand grading, moisture, temperature and storage.
- Grading: Prepare the required sand fractions for each mortar product.
- Moisture & Temperature: Select drying and cooling stages where required.
- Storage & Feeding: Arrange separate storage and controlled feeding for downstream batching.
The system can be configured for a new mortar production line or integrated with suitable existing equipment.
Match the Equipment to the Processing Task
| Processing Task | Equipment Options | Selection Focus |
|---|---|---|
| Sand making & shaping | VSI sand making machine | Feed properties, required reduction and particle shape |
| Washing & dewatering | Sand washer, classification and dewatering equipment | Impurities, useful fines recovery, water supply and outlet moisture |
| Drying & cooling | Sand dryer and cooling arrangement | Inlet moisture, required outlet condition, capacity and fuel |
| Screening & classification | Sizing screens and suitable classification equipment | Required grading, feed condition and fines control |
| Storage & feeding | Conveyors, elevators, bins and feeders | Separate fractions, moisture protection and downstream batching |
