Sand washing and screening plant

For sand, the most important building material of a fast-moving construction sector, to have the desired quality, a sand washing and screening plant must be set up so the material can be made ready for use in the best possible way. In the construction sector, materials in the grain classes called sand, gravel and chippings, referred to as aggregates, are known to be used in areas such as concrete and lightweight concrete production, road fill, paving and construction plaster.

Sand used as a building material has a loose-textured classic structure. Sand is a mixture of rock waste consisting of quartz grains, mica and similar minerals. Surface characteristics and hardness properties are the factors that determine the quality of the sand. In addition, artificial sands obtained by crushing and classifying limestone-based rocks are also very widely used. Their production methods and origins are similar to each other. However, their naming differs as they are brought to a certain standard.

If you too want to set up and operate a sand washing and screening plant, we at General Makina can provide you with every kind of support.

To have a say in the sand market, a significant investment must be made and a plant must be established. In this way, the construction sector, which began with the urban transformation process in our country, can also bring you considerable earnings. For this purpose, by setting up a large sand washing and screening plant with the necessary technical equipment and trained personnel, you too can achieve substantial gains.

This important building material, sand, which is in very high demand, must be obtained by establishing high-standard, quality plants. Businesses operating in this field in Turkey work intensively to meet the need for sand. The sand produced in the plants is put through different stages, and depending on its properties, sand is obtained sometimes from riverbeds, sometimes by crushing rocks and sometimes by taking it from the sea and washing it.

To reduce the pollution rate of the sand, it must be washed, put through certain processes in sand washing machines, and then stored with the help of conveyors. Different washing systems are available. Among the most widely used of these, we can say that in the process called mixer washing, the machines are used to separate the dirt that is stuck inside and difficult to dissolve from foreign matter. Sand of this kind, together with bulk materials that must be washed in the plants, is carried into a wide application area and the washing work is carried out. We can say that one of the important components for washing sand is the screen used in screw or bucket washers. Because thanks to its special vibrations, it filters the sand from the water, carries it to the area where it needs to be held, and obtains it in a dry form by separating it from the dirty materials.

During the sand washing and screening process, thanks to the spray system on the screens referred to as the crow's foot, water is brought into contact with the entire material, ensuring it is washed and separated. Since there is also a washing system in every section of the screens, a perfect cleaning and purification process is carried out. The valves at the top of the screens also help to easily perform the spraying process.

Similarly, thanks to bucket washers where different processes are carried out, the sand comes from the screen together with water and processes such as holding it or washing it again can be performed. In addition, depending on the plant capacity, there are also screens that can be designed as single or double using screw washers.

Setting up and operating sand and gravel washing and screening plants is not as difficult as it is thought. First of all, you can exchange ideas by talking to experienced companies that know this business. As General Makina, we can also help meet all kinds of machinery and personnel needs in order to support young entrepreneurs.

The sand sector should be considered a highly profitable investment. Because the sand used in concrete production is in very high demand. Existing businesses are having considerable difficulty keeping up with the demand for sand in the country's construction sector. It is essential that this need be met by establishing new sand washing and screening plants. If you are new to this sector and want to make money, you can start researching this subject as soon as possible and find answers to all the questions on your mind, such as which machines are required, where we recommend they be installed and how much money is needed, by contacting us.
