As machine-made sand becomes more and more popular in the market, it has become indispensable in various sectors such as construction, railways, and highways. Consequently, the quality requirements for machine-made sand have also increased significantly. In the mining machinery industry, one common challenge is the high clay content in mechanically produced sand, which not only reduces production efficiency but also increases equipment wear and maintenance costs. Therefore, when faced with high soil content in machine-made sand, what measures should be taken?
First, screening
The application of an appropriate sieving mechanism to screen machine-made sand can effectively eliminate a portion of the sand particles, particularly the coarser fractions, thereby enhancing the yield and quality of the machine-made sand.
The most commonly used is the ZKR series vibrating screen, which is mostly used for dewatering and desliming of materials.
Second, increase the washing link
By utilizing an advanced sand washing machine to clean machine-made sand, the sediment and impurities within the sand can be effectively eliminated, thereby significantly enhancing the quality of the machine-made sand. This method is currently one of the most prevalent and efficient approaches.
Sand washing machine serves as a specialized apparatus designed to remove dust particles adhering to the surface of sand. This equipment effectively cleans and separates stone powder and fine sand, controls the mesh size of the finished sand, and regulates the proportion of fine sand and stone powder content, thereby enhancing the overall quality of the sand.
The most widely utilized models are the XL spiral sand washing machine and the DXS bucket wheel sand washing machine. These machines feature a high processing capacity, low power consumption, superior cleaning efficiency, minimal wear-prone components, and reduced maintenance costs.
Third, optimize raw materials and crushing process
Select high-quality raw materials, avoiding those with excessive impurities, sediment, and organic matter. Additionally, optimize the parameters of the crushing process, including crusher speed and discharge port dimensions, to ensure consistent crushing performance and minimize sediment content in machine-made sand.
