DRY MIX MORTAR PLANT WITH SAND PROCESSING UNIT

 

Dry Mix Mortar Plant with a Sand Processing Unit (including Sand Screening and Sand Drying) is a specialized facility designed for the production of dry mix mortar, a pre-mixed blend of dry sand, cement, and other additives. This type of plant is commonly used in the construction industry for applications such as plastering, masonry, tiling and more.

Here’s a detailed description of each component:

1. Dry Mix Mortar Plant:
A dry mix mortar plant is a facility where various ingredients, such as cement, lime, sand, polymers, and other additives, are mixed in specific proportions to produce different types of mortar for construction applications. The plant typically includes the following components:

  • Weighing and Batching System: Precise quantities of raw materials like cement, lime, and additives are weighed and batched for accurate mixing.
  • Mixing System: After batching, the materials are mixed thoroughly in a high-efficiency mixer. The mixer ensures that the ingredients are evenly distributed, producing a uniform dry mix.
  • Storage and Packaging: The final dry mix is stored in silos or containers and can be packaged into bags for easy transportation and use on-site.
  • Control System: Advanced control systems are used to monitor and adjust the production process, ensuring consistent product quality.

The dry mix produced by the plant is ready to be mixed with water at the construction site before use. This simplifies logistics, reduces labor on-site, and ensures consistent product quality.

2. Sand Processing Unit:

The sand processing unit is essential for preparing the sand before it is mixed with other components in the dry mortar plant. It typically involves two main processes: sand screening and sand drying.

Sand Screening:

  • Purpose: Sand screening ensures that the sand is free of impurities and particles of the correct size for the mix. Screening is done using rotary screens to separate fine sand from larger particles, stones, or debris.
  • Process: The raw sand is fed into a vibrating screen or rotary sieve. The sand is sorted into different grades based on particle size. The fine sand (which is ideal for mortar mixes) is separated from coarser particles, which can be discarded or used for other purposes.
  • Benefits: Screening ensures that only clean, well-graded sand enters the dry mix, improving the quality and workability of the final mortar product.

Sand Drying:

  • Purpose: Sand drying is essential to remove any moisture content from the sand before it is mixed with cement and other materials. Wet or damp sand can affect the consistency of the final dry mix mortar and lead to clumping during storage.
  • Process: Sand drying typically involves the use of a rotary drum dryer, where the sand is heated to a specific temperature to evaporate moisture. The drying system ensures that the sand reaches a desired moisture level (typically less than 0.5% moisture) before it enters the mixing stage.
  • Benefits: Dry sand prevents issues like clumping, ensures uniformity in the dry mix, and helps maintain the mortar’s consistency and strength. It also allows for better storage of the final product.

Benefits of the Combined System (Dry Mix Mortar Plant with Sand Processing Unit):

    1. Improved Product Quality: By controlling the sand quality through screening and drying, the final mortar mix will have consistent properties, ensuring better bonding, workability, and durability.
    2. Efficiency and Cost Savings: The plant improves the efficiency of material usage and production time. The combined system eliminates the need for additional on-site processing of sand, reducing labor costs and improving the speed of production.
    3. Better Storage and Transportation: Since the dry mix mortar is ready-to-use and the sand is pre-processed, storage and transportation become more efficient. It reduces wastage and ensures that the product retains its quality.
    4. Environmental Benefits: Dry mix mortar plants with sand processing units can be designed with environmental considerations in mind, such as minimizing dust emissions and optimizing energy use in drying processes.
