About 80t/h Sand Making Plant

This case study details the design and operation of a specialized 80 ton per hour silica sand making plant. The primary objective was to transform raw silica rock into high-purity, industrial-grade sand meeting strict specifications for particle size and cleanliness. Unlike simple crushing plants, this system is engineered for sand production, incorporating precise crushing, shaping, and washing stages to produce a premium product for glass manufacturing, foundry, and construction industries.

Raw silica sand often contains impurities and has an inconsistent particle size distribution, making it unsuitable for high-value applications. Producing sand grains with a spherical, well-rounded shape to improve workability in concrete and casting processes. Removing clay, dust, and other contaminants to achieve a silica content of over 99%.

Main Equipment For Sand Making Plant

1. Crushing & Size Reduction (If needed):

If the feed material contains lumps or is too coarse, a small Jaw Crusher or Hammer Crusher may be used for initial size reduction. However, for many sand deposits, this stage may be bypassed.

2. The Heart of the Plant: The VSI Crusher:

This is the most critical stage for shaping and liberating impurities. A Vertical Shaft Impact (VSI) Crusher is used not just for size reduction, but for its attrition effect.
Function: The "rock-on-rock" crushing action grinds sand grains against each other, effectively scrubbing off iron oxide and other stains from the surface of each grain. This significantly improves purity.

3. Classification & Fines Removal:

This stage is what defines an industrial sand plant. A High-Efficiency Vibrating Screen is used to precisely separate sand particles by size.
Function: A vibrating screen separates crushed silica rocks into multiple graded sizes (e.g., 0-2mm, 2-5mm) by using high-frequency vibration to move material across layered screens with different gap sizes.

4. Washing & Dewatering:

The classified sand is sent to a wheel type sand sasher for a final rinse. This step removes any remaining light impurities and provides a clean, drip-free product. A dewatering screen is then used to achieve a consistent, low-moisture content product ideal for shipping and further processing.

Key Advantages of Sand Production Plant

1. High Product Value: The end product sells for a significant premium over construction aggregate.

2. Optimal for Specialization: This capacity is ideal for focusing on high-value industrial markets rather than high-volume, low-margin construction sand.

3. Process Control: The scale allows for excellent quality control to meet strict industry specifications (e.g., for glass or foundry use).

4. VSI sand making machine has low energy consumption and high production capacity in the sand making process. Wheel type sand washer and sand recycling machine are to get high quality fine sand.

1. What is the process of manufacturing silica?

Process for the manufacture of a silica powder by a sol-gel method, in which a silica starting material is suspended in water, with a pH possibly adjusted between 3 and 4.5, the gel is gelled suspension, the gel obtained is dried and the dry gel is divided into silica granules, characterized in that the raw material .

2. What are the 4 types of silica?

Silica that is refined and manufactured to impart specific functionality is referred to as synthetic amorphous silica (SAS). There are four types of SAS: colloidal silica, fumed silica, precipitated silica, and silica gel.

3. What is the process of sand washing plant?

In the first stage, dry or semi-wet sand is fed into the bucket classifier, where coarse particles are washed, dewatered, and recovered as M-Sand. The process water, carrying suspended fines, then flows into the second stage — a hydrocyclone unit — which separates and recovers fine particles as P-Sand.

4. What is the process of silica sand production?

Silica sand is made through natural processes or by processing natural resources. Naturally, it forms from the weathering and erosion of rocks, with the hard, durable mineral quartz being left behind. Artificially, it's produced by crushing larger silica-rich rocks like quartzite into granules and then processing them to increase purity and control grain size.
