Sand is one of the most important materials in the modern world. Without this, we would not have the concrete or asphalt needed to build buildings or infrastructure. Although sand is the second largest natural resource by volume after water, it is very barely regulated in many areas, and the growing demand may lead to a shortage in the future. The transition to manufac-tured sand Would enable a sustainable future with right application of product for better saving on operating cost / consumption of water / reduced wastage and right product gradation.
Sand is often extracted illegally from rivers or marine environments. This has consequences, such as erosion in rivers and coastlines, and changes in the water’s PH levels. When digging sand, the mud from the riverbed mixes with the water, which hinders animals’ food supply. As natural sand is exploited without concern towards the wider environ-mental impacts, it has become a major global sustainability challenge.
However, Metso having the solution to produce the manufactured sand in better way than the river sand option, there are various applications & equipment’s such as Cone Crushers, VSI, HRC & Washing plant which can be utilised to transform to right product specifications of sand. Some of its key products are :
Metso HRC™ HPGR – The Metso HRC™ takes HPGR technology to the next level by providing simple yet robust design that maximizes crushing performance with improved energy efficiency by upto 15%, lower circularity load by upto 24% & increased throughput by upto 19%
Barmac VSI Crushers – Metso Barmac is equipped with Deep Rotor Technology, with 3-Port Rotor design helps rock-on-rock crushing which produces cubical shaped product with lower wear cost, faster service & minimized wear components.
Dry & wet classification system – Under Metso wet classification system, equipment RocSand offers a compact, highly efficient integrated wet processing solution allowing water recovery up-to 90% through their equipment.
For the dry classification, Metso gravita-tional inertial Air Classifiers features a unique chamber and airflow design to ensure precise separation of ultrafine from sand.
Hence, with this we want to highlight new ways to make quality manufactured sand by using Metso washing system with MWS RocSand or CSP’s which include high end technology equipment designed to improve the sand classifi-cation package with more diverse needs, while balancing the sand/silt/water con-centration by its separation efficiency.
