Differences Between Dry Sand Making and Wet Sand Making Processes

Dry sand making and wet sand making are two mainstream manufactured sand production processes in the market, suitable for different climate conditions, raw material characteristics and project requirements. Many investors cannot select the appropriate process, resulting in unqualified sand quality and high production costs.

Wet sand making adopts water washing process to remove mud and impurities in raw materials, with high finished sand purity and excellent grain shape, suitable for areas with sufficient water resources and high requirements for commercial sand quality. However, it is not applicable in arid and water-deficient areas such as Central Asian deserts.

Dry sand making adopts air separation dust removal technology instead of water washing, realizing water-free sand production. It has low operating cost and is not restricted by water resources, very suitable for arid regions and projects with general sand purity requirements.
