The Manufacturing Process

Create economies of scale across your system

Each of these stages requires specific types of industrial rotating equipment, and proper operation and maintenance of this equipment is crucial for the efficiency and safety of the sand mining industry.

Drilling

Rotary drills, which use rotating drill bits, can be employed to bore into the earth to reach sand deposits, especially in cases where sand is not readily available on the surface.

Excavation & Extraction

Equipment such as rotating wheel excavators or dredging machines are used to extract sand from open-pit mines or underwater deposits.

Crushing

For certain applications, extracted sand might need to be crushed into finer particles. This process uses rotating crushers.

Screening

Screening equipment, which often includes rotating parts, is used to separate sand particles into different size fractions.

Conveyance

Conveyors, which include rotating parts such as conveyor pulleys or idlers, are used to transport the extracted sand and processed materials around the mining site and to other processing facilities.

Washing

Sand washing machines use rotating impellers or screws to remove clay, silt, and other impurities from the sand to improve its quality.

Dewatering

After washing, the sand often needs to be dewatered. This process involves rotating equipment like centrifuges and rotary dryers.

Sorting

For specific uses, such as in glass-making or foundry applications, sand may need to be sorted based on particle size or mineral content. This can involve the use of rotating screens or trommels.

Pumping

Pumps are used extensively to move slurries and other fluids around the site, particularly in operations that involve hydraulic mining or dredging.

Maintenance & Cleaning

Rotating equipment like pressure washers can be used for cleaning and maintaining other mining equipment.
