What is silica sand
Silica sand, also known as silica or quartz sand, is a refractory particle with quartz as the main mineral component and a particle size of 0.020mm-3.350mm. According to the different mining and processing methods, it is divided into artificial silica sand and natural silica sand such as washed sand, scrub sand, and selected (flotation) sand.

What is silica sand
Washed sand is mainly used in the foundry industry, scrubbed sand is mainly used in the production of architectural grade glass and glass containers, and flotation sand is the raw material for the production of float glass.

Common specifications of silica sand are: 1-2mm, 2-4mm, 4-8mm, 8-16mm, 16-32mm, 10-20 mesh, 20-40 mesh, 40-80 mesh, 100-120 mesh, 200 mesh, 325 mesh.

Silica Sand Processing Plant
There are five main processes including Feeding, Crushing, Sand making, Screening and Washing for silica sand processing plant.

Feeding:

The raw material is conveyed to the primary crushing equipment through the feeder,it's usually a jaw crusher.

Crushing:

The mined silica sand (quartz sand) ore is continuously fed into the coarse jaw crusher by the vibrating feeder for primary crushing, and then the particles after primary crushing are sent to the fine jaw crusher by the belt conveyor for re-crushing, and the crushed silica sand particles are sent to the vibrating screen for screening and grading.

Sand making:

After the screening process, the quartz sand particles that meet the feeding particle size requirements of the vertical shaft impact crusher enter the sand making machine for sand making process, and those that do not meet the requirements are returned to the crusher for re-crushing.

Screening:

The qualified silica sand particles from the sand making machine are returned to the circular vibrating screen for re-screening, the materials that meet the requirements go to the next process, and the materials that do not meet the requirements are returned to the sand making machine for sand making and crushing again;

Sand washing:

The produced silica sand is sent to the sand washing machine by the belt conveyor for cleaning, and the cleaned silica sand is sent to the finished product pile.

Advantages of the processing plant
1. Reasonable equipment configuration, advanced manufacturing technology, reliable quality, wear-resistant wearing parts and long service life.

2 The failure rate, total energy consumption and power consumption during operation are relatively low, and the operating cost can be reduced by more than 50%.

3 Equipped with a pulse dust collector, there will be no dust pollution problem during operation, and the low-carbon environmental protection effect is more significant.

4 The price of the whole production line is very economical and the after-sale service is more perfect. It is a production line with high application value in the market.
