Superior adds sand plant to washing equipment line
Superior Industries’ Spirit sand plant is designed for sand production and fines recovery.
Superior Industries launched the Spirit sand plant, a solution for sand production and fines recovery.
According to the company, the unit’s configuration includes a cyclone, dewatering screen, sump tank and slurry pump to classify and produce salable manufactured sand.
The incorporated hydroclone, available in 12- and 16-in. models, are manufactured with 100 percent cast urethane of 3/8- to 1-in. thickness, Superior adds. The 24- and 36-in. models are built with structural steel but also incorporate urethane liner.
Each cyclone is designed with a unique geometrically offset feed, which eliminates inefficient turbulence, boosts the preciseness of classification and reduces wear to components, Superior says. In addition, the dewatering screen on the Spirit helps producers achieve moisture content as low as 8 percent in their product. According to Superior, the dewatering screen’s deep-sloped bed design encourages material flow and reduces corrosion.
Superior’s Spirit sand plants are manufactured in four models with outputs ranging from 60 to 200 tph. For ultra fines recovery, the plant comes in three models with water outputs of 1,500 to 3,500 gallons per minute.
Superior Industries, headquartered in Morris, Minnesota, engineers and manufactures bulk material processing and handling equipment and components related to machinery. It supplies bulk crushing, screening, washing and conveying systems for the construction aggregate, mining, bulk terminals, agriculture, power and biomass industries.
