Silica Sand Production Processing and Equipment Needed

2025-05-26

What is high grade silica sand used for?

Silica sand is a new type of hard, wear-resistant and stable composite stone with silica as the main component, also called silica, mostly presented as transparent or translucent colourless, with a hardness level of 7 and a relative density of 2.65, with high refractory properties. Silica sand is formed after crushing and sand making, and is a very important industrial raw material.

Due to its chemical stability, good piezoelectricity, high melting point and hardness, High quality silica sand is widely used in glass, chemicals, casting, metallurgy and ceramics after processing.


How is silica sand processed? What kinds of equipment are needed?


METHOD 1: Dry Silica Sand Beneficiation Technology

Raw silica ore is coarsely crushed by jaw crusher → sorted by AMD large ore particle optical sorter → medium and fine crushing by cone crusher → screening by vibrating screen - sorted by AMD dry ore particle optical sorter → sand making by impact sand making machine → acid washing → drying → magnetic separation → sorted by AMD ore powder optical sorter → high purity silica sand is obtained.





METHOD 2: Wet Silica Sand Beneficiation Technology

The wet quartz powder manufacturing process is similar to the dry quartz powder manufacturing process, mainly with restrictions on water source and water quantity requirements, suitable for use in working conditions where environmental requirements are very strict and sufficient water sources are available. The processing flow is as follows.

Raw quartzite is coarsely crushed by jaw crusher → sorted by AMD large ore particle optical sorter → medium and fine crushing by cone crusher → screening-cleaning by vibrating screen → sorted by AMD wet ore particle sorter → sand making by impact sand making machine → acid washing → drying → magnetic separation → sorted by AMD ore powder sorter → get high purity quartz sand.

Can a vision counter be used for multiple purposes?

Can a vision counting machine count multiple materials? The answer is yes.

There are two meanings of one machine for multiple uses. One is that for materials of similar size in the same industry, they can be counted. The other is that for materials of similar size in different industries, they can also be counted by using the same model.

The customer uses manual material collection and is equipped with a foot switch for discharging materials. If there are 30 pieces/package, the counting machine can reach 25 packages/minute.

If the speed requirement is fast and the budget is sufficient, an automatic packaging machine can be equipped with a signal docking with the counting machine to achieve full automation of counting and packaging.

We can do some calculations and see how the vision counting packaging machine can help you solve the problem of expensive labor.

Before customer use counting machine: according to the 8 people, packaging 2 people, the average one person can complete 2.5 packages a minute, then 8 people can complete 20 packages a minute. In 8 hours a day, 9600 packets a day.

After using our automatic vision counting packaging machine, according to the counting and packaging speed of 25 packages/minute, 2 people are required, one to load the finished product and the other to pack the finished product. To complete 9600 packages, it only takes 6.4 hours. The manual labor saves 6 people. If the salary is 60,000 RMB per year, the counting and packaging process can save 360,000 costs per year.

In addition, there are some hidden benefits:
1. If there is a shortage of quantity in manual packaging, it may cause customer complaints, affect the corporate image, and may lead to a reduction in order volume.
2. Since the vision counting machine will not be short of quantity, it can ensure packaging quality and customer satisfaction, and the corporate image is improved.

What is the difficulty for screw counting?

2025-05-23

What is the difficulty for screw counting?

There are several aspects to the difficulty of screw counting, the first is that there are many screw models, large screws a few centimeters long, small M1 screws a few millimeters long. Automatic counting machine equipment must first have the function of counting various types of screws. This requires software algorithms to have this ability. At the same time, the screw size should be taken into account at the feeding port of the vibrating plate. The screws on some precision devices, such as those used on mobile phones, are very small. Some feed ports for conveying materials and other considerations will use different concave and convex surface effects on the bottom and side, if it is too small screws, it is easy to stay in the feed port slot when the vibration voltage is small. At the same time, whether the shape of the vibration plate is flat, as well as the size design of the fine feeder, should meet the needs of various models at the same time. These technical points should be determined at the beginning of the design. These two problems are very testing the technical precipitation and the experience of the design team.

screw vision counting machine

The variety of screw models will also bring another problem, the problem of frequent replacement of materials. Our screw vision counting machine has a more mature learning-free algorithm program, materials can start counting directly without learning. This greatly reduces the time to learn and check repeatedly before counting various types of screws, improving work efficiency.

vision counting machine

The counting requirements of the screw industry are usually the number of single packets is relatively large and the counting speed is required, which brings a great challenge to the accuracy. Such as quickly counting 1000 screws, but also as efficient as possible, the camera capture and algorithm requirements are extremely demanding. Take this VBP series of our company as an example, this is a typical VBP series equipment, and because the counting material is a screw, the whole machine adopts a relatively compact design, which is more convenient to control the quantitative counting process, for small materials can not only achieve mass counting, but also achieve small batch counting. In addition, another highlight of this equipment is the consideration of safety standards, so when working, each door is accidentally opened will think of the security alarm and light up the yellow light, and the equipment will randomly stop operation. Including the acrylic protective cover above also applies to this security algorithm.
