Wet sand making vs dry sand making, which process is better?

Home / News

In recent years, with the limitation of natural sand mining and the lack of resources, artificial sand has gradually become the mainstream of the market. However, in the process of stone processing, due to the fierce collision and the certain soil content of the stone itself, the artificial sand contains a certain amount of stone powder and mud powder, which affects the gradation of the artificial sand. In order to solve the problem of powder content, wet sand making and dry sand making appeared.

Differences between the two:
1. Subsequent configuration equipment is different.
Wet sand making is a sand making mode using a sand washing machine, which can achieve the roundness of sand particles from the appearance and reduce the soil content.
Dry sand production adopts the mode of powder concentrator to achieve the separation of sand and powder. Finally, high-quality construction sand will be selected, and the dust will also be collected as a by-product.
2. Different applicable regions.
Wet sand making is applicable to water rich areas and places close to the water source. A sedimentation tank can be established for wet sand production to achieve the purpose of water resources recycling. At the same time, a fine sand recycling machine can be added to collect fine sand and sand powder in wastewater.
Dry sand production is applicable to areas far away from water sources, such as arid areas in the north.
3. Different investment costs.
The dry sand production line uses a high-efficiency powder concentrator to separate sand and powder. There is no need to add a lot of water for cleaning in the production process, and the overall production cost will be relatively low.
In actual production, the choice of wet sand making or dry sand making depends on the region, water resources, raw material cleanliness, and the specific requirements for the content and fineness modulus of aggregate and artificial sand and stone powder. Users should choose according to their own production conditions.
