Silica sand dryer machine also is kown as quartz sand drying machine, and it is developed and optimized from rotary drum dryer. For 1 set Silica Sand Dryer to dry 2500 tons per month, if one month works 30 days, then the drying capaicty is about 10 tons per hour.
After being washed, the moisture content of silica sand is about 10%, and after being dried, the needed moisture content of dry silica sand is less than 3% or even bone dry.
2500 tons per month silica sand drying line work flow is :
◆ Firstly, use one belt conveyor or bucket elevator to send the wet silica sand into the drum of silica sand dryer.
◆ On the inner wall of the cilinder/drum, there are many lifting plates which is welded according to one special methods. When the Silica Sand Dryer's drum is rotating, these lifting plates makes the silica sand up and down to mix with the hot air completely. Durng this process, the moisture is evaporated.
◆ On the another side of the silica sand dryer, there is one high pressure draught fan which sucks out the steam, and then the steam goes into the cyclone dust separator.
◆ In the cyclone dust separator, the dust inside the steam falls down and goes out through the discharging hole of the cyclone dust separator. The steam goes into atmosphere directly through the chimney which is connected to the cyclone dust separator.
◆ Outlet belt conveyor takes the dry sand and send it into storage area for next step of production.
◆ Electric control cabient is used to control the whole silica sand drying line.
