Budget for mobile sand washing plant 90 tph for construction waste
Understanding the budget for a mobile sand washing plant
Construction waste recycling is growing rapidly in Nigeria, where demolished concrete, brick, and asphalt can be washed to produce reusable sand and aggregates. A mobile sand washing plant offers the flexibility to move between sites. The budget for mobile sand washing plant 90 tph for construction waste in Nigeria depends on several factors: whether the plant is wheel-mounted or track-mounted, the type of washing system (screw washer or hydrocyclone + dewatering screen), water recycling capability, and power source (diesel or electric). As a Chinese direct manufacturer with over 40 years of experience, OCP Mechanical Company provides factory-direct pricing. A complete mobile sand washing plant (Type MW-90) suitable for 90 tph of construction waste typically ranges from 95,000to160,000 USD (FOB), depending on specifications. *All budget figures are for reference only; final quotes depend on configuration, voltage, and delivery to Lagos or Port Harcourt.

Key components that influence the budget
To establish a realistic budget for mobile sand washing plant 90 tph for construction waste in Nigeria, consider these major cost drivers:
Chassis type – Wheel-mounted (towable) units are generally 15-25% less expensive than self-propelled track-mounted models.
Washing system – Single screw washer (Type SW-90) is the most affordable ($30,000-45,000 of total). A hydrocyclone + dewatering screen system (Type HDS-90) costs more but recovers more fines (reducing waste) and consumes less water.
Water management – A water recirculation tank and pump add $8,000-15,000 but cut fresh water consumption by 70-80% – valuable in drier Nigerian regions.
Power source – Electric motor (requires site power or generator) is less expensive upfront than a diesel-hydraulic drive (adds $25,000-40,000).
Optional extras – Magnetic separator (for rebar removal), flocculant dosing system, and remote control add $10,000-25,000.
*Shipping from China to Nigeria (4-6 weeks) and import duties (estimated 10-20%) are additional. OCP can recommend a trusted logistics partner in Apapa port.*
Sample budget breakdown for a typical mobile unit
Here is an indicative budget for mobile sand washing plant 90 tph for construction waste in Nigeria (wheel-mounted, electric, single screw washer, basic water tank):
Equipment (Type MW-90 including feeder, screw washer, dewatering screen, conveyors, control panel): $85,000–110,000
Water recirculation system (pump + tank + piping): $8,000–12,000
Spare parts kit (wear shoes, screen panels, belts): $5,000–8,000
Shipping and insurance (China to Lagos): $12,000–20,000
Import duty & clearing (approx. 15%): $12,000–18,000
Local civil works (simple concrete pad, water source connection): $5,000–10,000
Total estimated landed budget: $127,000–178,000 USD
For a track-mounted diesel unit with hydrocyclone, the budget would be $170,000–250,000. These figures are estimates; actual costs vary with exchange rates and site-specific conditions.
Long-term operating cost considerations
Beyond the initial budget for mobile sand washing plant 90 tph for construction waste in Nigeria, consider ongoing expenses. Construction waste often contains rebar and fine dust – screw flights and screen panels may need replacement every 800-1,500 hours. OCP’s factory-direct wear parts are cost-effective and stocked in our Lagos warehouse for fast delivery. Energy consumption for an electric screw washer plant is approximately 35-50 kWh per hour. Using a VFD (optional) can reduce power draw during partial load. A well-operated plant can produce washed sand and aggregates selling for ₦18,000-30,000 per ton, offering attractive returns. Profitability depends on local material prices and utilization rates.
