Quartz sand is a machine-made sand material made by crushing quartz stone, which is widely used in construction and industry. With the booming development of the sand and gravel industry, more and more investors are optimistic about the market potential of quartz sand. However, many novices are confused about the choice of equipment when investing. This article will give you a detailed introduction to the production equipment and process flow of quartz sand.

Quartz sand processing equipment

1. Equipment required for quartz sand production

Jaw crusher

Jaw crusher is suitable for crushing various stones. It can handle medium and high hardness stones with a diameter of less than 1200mm, and the hourly output can reach 1590 tons. Its high efficiency and durability make it continue to be popular in the sand and gravel industry.

Cone crusher or fine jaw crusher

Cone crusher is mainly used in the medium crushing stage, with an hourly output of 27-2181 tons, equipped with an overload protection device, which reduces the equipment failure rate. Fine jaw crusher is suitable for small sand and gravel plants, with an hourly output generally below 200 tons, and high cost performance.

Quartz sand making machine

Specially used to make quartz stone into sand, the finished product has excellent particle shape and uniform particle size, and meets the standards for construction sand.

Auxiliary equipment

Including vibrating feeder, belt conveyor, vibrating screen, etc., these equipment play an important role in automated production.

2. Quartz sand production process

The production process of quartz sand can be divided into the following stages:

Primary crushing

Large pieces of quartz stone are initially crushed by jaw crusher.

Medium crushing

The coarse material is sent to cone crusher for medium crushing through conveyor belt.

Fine crushing and sand making

The finely crushed stone enters the vibrating screen to screen out the particle size suitable for sand making, and finally the finished sand is made by quartz sand making machine.

Post-processing

The optional sand washing step can remove impurities in the sand to ensure the quality of the finished product.

3. Investment and operating costs

The cost of opening a small quartz stone processing plant includes:

Handling fees: involving various registrations and licenses.

Equipment purchase and installation: depending on the configuration of different production lines.

Operating costs: raw material procurement, labor wages and daily expenses.

In general, equipment investment usually accounts for a large proportion. Choosing the right production equipment can reduce operating costs and improve production efficiency.

Conclusion

As an important industrial raw material, quartz sand has a huge market demand. Understanding its production equipment and process will help investors make wise decisions. By rationally configuring equipment and processes, not only can efficient production be achieved, but also costs can be effectively controlled, laying a solid foundation for future development.
