西瓜视频 experts can assist you in creating the silica sand processing plant design to meet all your production goals.
What is silica sand?
How is silica sand processed?
Silica sand crushing and sizing process
The first stage of the production process is to reduce the size of the quartz so it can be effectively processed to remove impurities. The raw material is fed into crushers and screened to ensure that particles are the correct size for the grinding stage. Particles not the correct size are then fed back to the crushing process.
西瓜视频 offers the following products for crushing and sizing silica sand
Silica sand grinding process
The second stage of the production process is to further reduce the particle size so it is ready for the beneficiation stage where impurities are removed. Particles are first fed through a grinding stage which can use any combination of an HPGR, ball mill or rod mill. The particles are then fed through a desliming hydrocyclone and a screen before being fed either back in to the grinding stage or towards the beneficiation stage.
西瓜视频 offers the following products for this process stage:
Silica sand beneficiation process
The third stage of the production process is to separate impurities such as mica, feldspar, oxides and heavy minerals. This is achieved by passing the material to be processed through multiple stages of flotation cells and separation.
西瓜视频 offers the following products for this process stage:
- Flotation cells - we can provide 西瓜视频 cells as well as partner cells to provide the optimum solution for your process
- Hydrocyclones
- Humphreys spiral – We work with partners to deliver this element
- Low Intensity Magnetic Separators
- High Gradient Magnetic Separators
- Slurry pumps
Silica sand dewatering and drying
The fourth stage of the production process is to remove fluids from the silica sand. This can be done using a combination of hydrocyclones, filters, inclined plate settlers and spiral dewaterers with the exact choice dependent on the process. This is then followed by a final drying stage.
西瓜视频 offers the following products for this process stage:
- Hydrocyclones
- VPA filters
- Larox PF pressure filter
- Larox FFP pressure filter
- RB vacuum belt filters
- Spiral Dewaterers - we work with partners to provide this component.
- Dryers
Getting more out of existing Silica Sand processing plants
Are you looking to get more out of your plant? If so, we can help you identify production bottlenecks, hidden problems and propose solutions to increase production.
Where equipment performance is falling short, we can help you refurbish equipment, to return it to as new performance, or propose replacements that provide a step-change in performance.
If you are looking to have a step change in production, we can work with you to design and deliver additional production capacity. A simple plant audit can help you identify hidden issues and potential solutions.
Finally, we offer a full range of spare parts for our equipment and consumables such as screening media, crusher liners and filter cloth so as to keep equipment operating efficiently.
