Background

Canada is one of the world’s major producers of quartz sand, which is widely used in many industries such as construction, glass manufacturing, and casting. In a mineral processing company in northern Canada, due to the cold climate and high humidity, the traditional quartz sand drying method is inefficient and susceptible to seasonal changes. To this end, the customer purchased an efficient quartz sand drum dryer from Guoxin Machinery to improve the drying efficiency of quartz sand and ensure the stable operation of the production line.

Equipment selection and installation

The company selected a quartz sand drum dryer produced by Guoxin Machinery. The equipment adopts advanced hot air circulation technology, which can efficiently remove moisture from quartz sand in a short time. The main technical parameters of the equipment are as follows:

Drum diameter: 3 meters

Drum length: 12 meters

Drying capacity: 30 tons of quartz sand per hour

Temperature control range: 80℃ to 200℃

Fuel type: natural gas/biomass fuel

Automation level: fully automatic control system, support remote monitoring

On-site installation and commissioning

The installation and commissioning process of the equipment was carried out in the cold season in Canada, with low on-site temperature and high humidity. In order to cope with this environmental challenge, the equipment supplier provided a full range of technical support, including on-site installation, commissioning and training. After two weeks of installation and commissioning, the quartz sand drum dryer was successfully put into operation.

During the installation process, the technical team carried out precise commissioning of the hot air system, combustion system and temperature control system of the dryer to ensure that the equipment can work normally in a cold environment. The automatic control system of the equipment is highly compatible with the company’s existing production line, ensuring the efficient coordination of the system.

Performance and Advantages

After being put into production, the quartz sand drum dryer performed well, increasing the drying efficiency by 30% compared with traditional drying equipment. Due to the use of the hot air circulation system, the moisture of the quartz sand is quickly removed, the product is dried evenly, and is not easily affected by external temperature fluctuations. The efficiency and stability of the equipment greatly improve the production capacity of the company.

Customer Feedback and Benefits

Within three months after the equipment was put into use, the company’s production efficiency was significantly improved, and the drying quality and output of quartz sand were highly recognized by customers. The problem of seasonal humidity changes affecting the drying effect has been effectively solved, and the production process has become more stable.

The head of the company said: “This drum dryer not only improves our production efficiency, but also helps us reduce energy consumption. The efficiency and intelligence of the equipment reduce our dependence on manual labor and also reduce the failure rate. We are very satisfied with this investment and plan to further expand our production capacity in the future.”
