Why is the wet sand production process less commonly used

The main production processes for manufactured sand include dry sand production lines, semi-dry sand production lines, and wet sand production lines. Different processes produce manufactured sand of different specifications. In manufactured sand production lines, the main equipment used in both dry and wet sand production is basically the same: coarse crushing equipment, medium and fine crushers, and high-efficiency sand making machines. The purpose is also the same: to produce higher quality sand to meet the requirements of concrete and dry mortar. However, the main difference between dry and wet sand production processes lies in the different treatment methods used for stone powder and mud content in manufactured sand. Why is the wet sand production process less commonly used?

1. Wet sand production consumes a large amount of water resources.

2. The finished sand has a high moisture content, requiring dewatering treatment.

3. The fineness modulus of the finished sand is relatively coarse, and fine sand may be lost during the washing process, resulting in low sand yield.

4. Wet sand production may generate a large amount of mud and dust wastewater, polluting the environment.

5. Wet sand making cannot operate normally during dry, low-rainfall, or freezing seasons.
