Artificial Sand, the Backbone of Construction Industry

Artificial sand is vital in freeway construction, cement making. The natural sand available in the riverbed is very course and contains very much percentage of silt and clay which reduces the strength of the concrete and hold dampness.

The natural sand has several disadvantages compared to artificial sand. Pulled by the need of expanding domestic demand, infrastructure investment, such as roads, railways etc, is increasing.

Such large engineering project needs lots of high quality sand. However, natural sand is non-renewable resources, with the large-scale exploitation, is increasingly drying up. The natural river sand is the product of sedimentation. Mica, coal, fossils and other organic impurities are present in the river sand. In such a scenario, artificial sand is seen as a welcome alternative to natural sand.

In the process of sand making production, sand maker and crusher equipment is necessary. The raw materials mainly are granite, limestone, basalt, pebbles etc, through a series of crushing and screening equipment in order to reach required level.

Shanghai Sanme can offer a complete solution for sand production. We have the support of german high-tech machinery and full technology. There are two production lines known as dry sand making production line and wet sand making production line.
