In recent years, with the decrease of natural sand, the artificial sand market has shown great potential, and the huge demand of the construction market has caused the rapid development of the artificial sand market. Artificial sand, also called crushed sand, is made by crushing larger rocks or aggregates into small particles.
What is the synthetic sand?
Natural sand is extracted directly from the river, so it is mixed with small pebbles and fine sand. These small pebbles have been washed by the river for a long time and have more rounded edges and corners, while artificial sand produced by sandblasting equipment is sharper and harder than river sand. Artificial sand is a type of sand material that is produced by sand making equipment such as Qubit crusher in the factory. Compared to natural sand, artificial sand has features such as sharp edges and more uniformity.
Synthetic sand production process
In the process of artificial sand production (sand factory), raw materials are introduced into the jaw crusher. Then the crushed materials are transferred by the jaw crusher to the impact crusher and sand maker for secondary crushing (fine crusher). The conveyor conveys the crushed material to other machines for separation. The material produced by this sand maker is sent to the salty sand to separate the dust in it and remove the impurities.
In the process of producing artificial sand, there are mainly three stages of crushing, washing and screening. Crushing stage crushing devices may consist of jaw crusher, impact crusher, cone crusher, hammer crusher and sand maker. Salt sand machine is another stage of artificial sand production, which has different types depending on the function. Then the last step is to use a sand screening machine to separate the sand, which is the final result of these three stages of producing a quality sand.What is a salty sand machine and how does it work?
As the name of salt sand machine suggests, it is used to wash sand. This device is installed after the first step and has a high ability to remove all kinds of impurities. After the stones are reduced to a small size, they enter the salty sand machine along with water and the mud in them is separated. This work will increase the quality of produced sand.
Usually, each salty sand can wash 60 tons of stone per hour, but this capacity can be different from one machine to another. Salt sands are divided into two different types depending on their function: Snail salt sand: Snail salt sand is one of the widely used equipment in the sand production factory, in the process of washing it, the material enters the pond with a lot of water; Then the auger starts moving and sends the material to the exit valve. Water comes out of the device through a separate outlet. Helical salt sand is divided into two groups of single helix salt sand and double helix salt sand. For materials that have a lot of mud and need to be washed more intensively, they use the double auger type. Paketti salt sand: They use the Durani salt sand machine to wash wind sands. This device has two inlets and three water outlets are designed on it. Due to this issue, less water is consumed in spiral salt sand than in round salt sand. This machine is used for high capacity production lines and 80 tons of sand can be washed with it per hour. The high height of the pond has caused the quality of the sand output from this device to be higher than other models.
