Complete Process and Equipment Selection for a 200-Ton-Per-Hour Quartz Sand Production Line

Quartz sand is commonly used in public buildings, glass, ceramics, metallurgy, and chemical industries. It consists of quartz particles produced by crushing and sand-making processes. It is a new type of stone material artificially synthesized from over 90% quartz crystals combined with resin and other trace elements. How should one design a quartz sand production line with a capacity of 200 tons per hour? Below, we will introduce the complete process flow and equipment selection.

The typical process flow for a quartz sand production line is feeding – crushing – sand making – screening – sand washing. Currently, there are many types of equipment available on the market for processing quartz stone. Quartz sand is primarily composed of silicon dioxide; it is a non-metallic mineral—a silicate mineral that is hard, wear-resistant, and chemically stable. It is classified as a high-hardness rock with a Mohs hardness of 7 and a density of 2.65. Therefore, based on these characteristics, it is more suitable to use equipment such as jaw crushers, cone crushers, and impact sand makers.

When selecting equipment for a 200-ton-per-hour quartz sand production line, one must not only consider the raw material but also meet requirements for output capacity and product particle size. Equipment selection should also take into account feed particle size, site conditions, and any other specific requirements. Below is a complete process flow and equipment selection for a 200-ton-per-hour quartz sand production line from a real client, provided for your reference.

Complete Process for 200 Tons Per Hour of Quartz Sand

Raw Material → Vibrating Feeder → Jaw Crusher → Cone Crusher → Impact Sand Maker → Vibrating Screen → Sand Washer → Finished Product;

Feeding: Quartz stone is delivered by dump trucks to the vibrating feeder, which then feeds the material evenly and continuously to the primary crushing equipment while screening out waste and soil.

Primary Crushing: Typically, a suitable location for primary crushing is selected near the quarry to minimize raw material transport distances. Large-sized materials are coarsely crushed by a jaw crusher, which features a deep crushing chamber with no dead zones, eliminating concerns about material blockages.

Secondary Crushing: The material is then conveyed to a cone crusher for secondary and fine crushing. This secondary processing can also produce 12mm and 13mm aggregates.

Sand Making: The crushed material, generally below 55mm in size, is sent to a sand maker to produce 0.25–0.5mm quartz sand.

Screening: The material is conveyed to a vibrating screen equipped with four layers of mesh, enabling the simultaneous separation of three different grain sizes of sand.

Sand Washing: A sand washer is then used to separate soil, impurities, and sand, achieving purification and controlling the content of stone powder. After passing through a dewatering screen, the finished manufactured sand is obtained.

Regarding the price of a complete set of equipment for producing 200 tons of quartz sand per hour, there is significant variation in the market. This is due to factors such as equipment model selection, design specifications, and the large number of manufacturers. Differences in materials, processing technologies, and product quality also lead to varying quotes.
