Quartz Sand Dryer – Specialized Drying Solution for Glass Sand, Plate Sand & Filter Media
Tongding Quartz sand drying production line Designed for high-hardness, chemically stable materials including quartz sand, plate sand, and glass sand. Widely used in glass manufacturing, engineered stone production, and water treatment filtration.
Product Overview
Quartz sand, plate sand, and glass sand are characterized by high hardness and stable chemical properties. They are essential raw materials in glass manufacturing, engineered stone production, and water treatment filtration.
These wet sands contain high moisture content. Conventional drying methods often cause particle breakage and excessive loss of fine particles, compromising material cleanliness and integrity. Tongding's quartz sand dryer is purpose-built for these demanding materials, incorporating multiple patented lifting plate technologies that efficiently remove moisture while preserving particle structure.
The equipment has been exported to Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and multiple Southeast Asian countries, serving industries including glass, engineered stone, foundry, and water treatment.
Equipment Advantages
Patented Lifting Structure – Uniform Drying Without Particle Damage
The core drying system integrates multiple patented technologies, including multi-bend lifting plates and serrated lifting plates. The combination of these two plate designs creates a continuous waterfall-like material curtain inside the drum, maximizing heat exchange between the material and hot air.
Drying uniformity exceeds 95%, efficiently removing moisture while preventing particle breakage from excessive tumbling. Fine particle loss is minimized, ensuring the cleanliness and integrity of the finished sand.
High-Wear-Resistant Core Components – 4 to 7 Times Longer Service Life
Key components of the dryer are constructed from high-strength wear-resistant steel plate, delivering 4 to 7 times longer service life than ordinary manganese steel. The support rollers and tire rings are manufactured from high-hardness steel, offering 3 to 5 times greater wear resistance than conventional equipment.
Maintenance is simple – only routine outer-diameter turning is required annually, significantly reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
Precise Temperature Control – Energy Efficient Operation
The combustion chamber is designed for natural gas firing, constructed with high-temperature resistant materials and a specialized structure that withstands temperatures up to 1400°C. Thermal shock resistance is excellent, ensuring long-term stable operation.
Temperature control is precise. Exhaust gas temperature is maintained at approximately 70°C, while the discharged sand temperature remains stable at around 60°C. This minimizes energy waste and eliminates the need for additional cooling before the sand enters subsequent processing stages.
High-Efficiency Induced Draft System – Stable Operation
The induced draft system is scientifically designed to ensure smooth ventilation and efficient operation. Vertical plates divide the space between the inner and outer drums into 8 independent drying chambers. Material distribution is uniform, drying is more energy-efficient, and the design prevents heavy-load startup issues during power outages, ensuring equipment safety and stability.
Environmental Compliance & Installation
Dust Emission Below Standards
Equipped with a pulse dust collector, emission concentration is controlled within 10 to 30 mg/Nm³, meeting environmental compliance requirements. Dust is effectively contained during production, ensuring a clean workshop environment and compliance with local environmental regulations.
Stable Foundation Design – Quick Installation
The foundation design uses pre-embedded anchor bolts instead of traditional embedded plates, improving equipment leveling and fixation performance. Combined with a secondary grouting process, overall stability is enhanced, preventing displacement or settlement during long-term operation.
