Silica is the most common ingredient in glass. Whether the glass is container glass, window glass, boro-silicate glass, fiberglass or water glass (sodium silicate), silica sand makes up approximately 60-70 percent of the glass batch and therefore has a significant affect on the glass quality. For all glasses, the consistency of the chemical components and size characteristics are important to producing high quality glass.

Silica Sand Production Line

The silica sand production line consists by primary jaw crushing, secondary crushing, vibrating screen, belt conveyor, sand washing equipment ball mill, and so on. Sand grains measuring 0.1-0.5 mm in diameter.

Silica Sand Processing Plant

The silica sand quarry mining process is complicated process and need many mining equipment. Through the mining process silica sand boulders are turned into all sizes of materials. The blasting process is the first step determining what needs to be accomplished next. Rock hammers, drop balls, primary crushers, and gyratory crushers all contribute to the silica sand mining process. Coarse materials are sent by belt conveyer to the silica sand crushing plant or silica sand grinding plant for additional crushing, grinding and sizing. The mine stockpiles different sizes of silica sand materials for customers. spiral classifier


Silica Sand Processing Plant

Within the silica sand production line, silica sand process includes four stages, they are washing, sieving, attritioning and drying. Silica sand plant produces industrial white silica sand through an extraordinarily high purity, with SiO2 > 99.5 wt%. The grain size which range from 0.125 to a few.00 mm and our most contemporary Hi-tech. sieving facilities provides different size distributions for various requirements and that we can tailor make according to customer's requirements. Silica sands are produce of both loosely consolidated sands and weakly cemented sand stones in silica sand plant. Coarse-grained, well- rounded quartz sands are particularly suited to water treatment and are produced by the selective screening of sands form a number of quarries. Construction and silica sands are normally produced from the same quarry in addition to their production is interdependent. Closely-sized water filtration sands will also be created from the sand making plant, the regionally important resource of sand and gravel. magnetic separator
