subject: Sand Washing Plant For Silica Sand Manufacturing Process [print this page] In the silica sand manufacturing process, sand washing machine is used to clean the dust from the silica sand.
Silica Sand Washing Plants can easily surpass the sand cleanliness standards, with configurations available for filter stations where the water is drawn from either fast or slow flowing rivers.
Silica Sand Washing Plants are based on equipment that has been designed for the mining industry, this makes them robust and extremely reliable.
Sand washing machine is widely used for cleaning materials in the following industries: quarry, minerals, building materials, transportation, chemical industry, water conservation and hydropower, cement mixture station and so on.
Vibrating Feeder for sand washing plant
The Vibrating Feeder (Vibratory feeder) is used to transfer the large size materials and granular materials from Silo to receiving device uniformly, periodically and continuously in the production flow and to feed materials into the crusher continuously and uniformly also to screen the materials in the sandstone production line. The Vibrating Feeder is widely used to match the crushing and sieving equipments in many industries including sand washing plant ,metallurgy, coal mine, mineral dressing, building material, chemical, grinding, etc.
The silica sand washing plant includes three process.
Washing:
The sand is feeding into the sediment pool from the feeding box, acting by rotating screw blade, the sand is turning and rolling and grinding each other to eliminate impurity and water-air layer around sand to facilitate de-water. The fresh eater rising current from the porous plate carry foreign matter to water surface and overflow the weir plate, to finish washing processing
De-watering:
The sand with bigger density is sunken down to tub bottom, the screw blade push this sand upwards, when passing through upper tub of proper length above water level, the water is draining into sediment pool from another drainage ditch, the de-watered sand is out from the discharging opening.
Classifying:
Material classifying is realized by overflowing the non-needed fines, the controlling method is adjusting height of overflowing weir and adjusting speed of screw.
