Reducing Fuel Consumption and Iron Pollution: How Shanlu Heavy Industry's Dry Grinding and Drying Equipment Works Together

2026-05-09

In the processing of high-purity quartz sand, the dry process is suitable for materials that are sensitive to moisture or for scenarios that require subsequent high-temperature treatment. Shanlu Heavy Industry provides a complete set of equipment from fine grinding, grading to magnetic separation and drying, which has been applied in projects such as photovoltaic quartz sand and high white board sand.

Taking a typical dry fine grinding and purification line as an example: the raw sand is pre treated and enters the MQX dry fine powder ball mill. The device is lined with wear-resistant ceramic or silica lining plates inside the cylinder, and high alumina balls or zirconia balls are used as grinding media to avoid iron pollution. The discharge fineness can be adjusted to 200 mesh to 325 mesh, meeting the particle size requirements of high-purity sand for micro powder products. The discharge from the ball mill is sent to the QF vertical airflow classifier through the elevator. This classifier adopts the principle of vortex aerodynamics, and by adjusting the speed of the grading wheel and the secondary air volume, it can obtain finished products with narrow particle size distribution. The QF classifier designed by Shanlu Heavy Industry has precise cutting points and can produce multiple specifications of products within the range of D90=10-45 μ m.

The graded fine powder often contains weak magnetic impurities, which need to be purified by magnetic separation. Shanlu Heavy Industry will equip CXG high field permanent magnet roller magnetic separator at this stage. This device uses rare earth neodymium iron boron magnetic material, and the magnetic field strength on the roller surface can reach over 12000Gs, which is suitable for separating weak magnetic impurities in fine particles in dry powder. The material is evenly distributed onto the surface of the magnetic roller through a vibrating feeder, and the magnetic particles are adsorbed and detached with the rotation of the roller. Non magnetic quartz sand falls freely, thus achieving sorting. After CXG magnetic separation, the Fe ₂ O3 content in the fine powder can be reduced to below 80ppm.

If the purified quartz sand powder is used for electronic packaging or precision casting, the moisture content needs to be controlled. Shanlu Heavy Industry uses HGS triple return drum dryer for drying treatment. The dryer consists of three concentric cylinders, with long travel and sufficient heat exchange between the material and the hot air flow inside the cylinders. Compared to a single drum dryer, the thermal efficiency is increased by about 30% and fuel consumption is reduced. The moisture content of the discharged material can be controlled within 0.5% to meet the requirements for subsequent packaging or use.

The above unit equipment can be interlocked and operated by the centralized control cabinet. Shanlu Heavy Industry is located in Shandong and has over 20 years of experience in designing and manufacturing mining machinery. Its products cover a full range of categories including crushing, grinding, grading, magnetic separation, drying, and dewatering. Shanlu Heavy Industry can customize equipment selection plans based on the customer's raw ore particle size distribution and finished product indicators.

In terms of equipment details, the MQX ball mill's large gear is made of alloy casting, ensuring smooth operation; The QF classifier spindle bearing adopts an air sealed structure to prevent dust from entering; The surface of the magnetic roller of CXG magnetic separator is coated with a stainless steel wear-resistant layer, which extends the service life; The HGS dryer adopts a graphite block and fish scale structure for sealing the inlet and outlet ends, with low air leakage rate. These designs reduce the daily maintenance workload for customers.
