New project launch: The Cronus sand and powder integrated machine has been successfully put into production in Xinjiang.

Today, our company’s sand and powder integrated machine was successfully installed in Jichang, Xinjiang. The project has now been completed and accepted, and it has officially entered the production stage. This marks a significant milestone in our company’s expansion into the vast western region.

The sand powder integrated machine can simultaneously produce fine powder (325 mesh) and sand (0-5mm). Moreover, it does not increase the energy consumption of the machine nor affect the output of the fine powder. This type of machine is a product of our company’s in-depth research and development, specifically designed for special industry applications.

We know that some industries require a specific sand and fine powder grading. The traditional approach is to use two machines to separately produce fine powder and fine sand, and then mix the two finished products together. This method results in high initial investment and complicated subsequent processing. Using a sand and powder integrated machine can control the output ratio of fine powder and fine sand from the production source. At the same time, it can shut down the production of fine sand and only produce fine powder, significantly improving work efficiency.

The sand powder integrated machine is actually a systematic modification based on the Raymond mill. By adding a sloped chute inside the Raymond mill, coarse powder particles (fine sand) can be directly discharged. This results in fine sand particles. The fine sand that is not filtered by the chute continues to enter the Raymond mill for grinding to produce ultra-fine powder. A control switch is installed at the outlet of the fine sand to control whether the fine sand is discharged or not. This enables overall control of the production volume of fine sand.

From this, it can be seen that the overall structure of the sand powder integrated machine is very similar to that of the Raymond mill. The only difference lies in the design of the chute of the sand powder integrated machine.

We may need to consider the physical properties of the materials. For example, the granular structure of sand provides strength, while powder can fill voids, improving flowability or bonding properties. In concrete, for instance, cement acts as the powder, and sand serves as the aggregate. Only when they are mixed together can a solid structure be formed. Additionally, cost may be a factor—using a combination of materials can reduce expenses while still meeting performance requirements.

In the foundry industry, the use of molding sand may require mixing sand with clay powder to enhance plasticity and strength. Additionally, in refractory materials, the combination of sand and powder may be aimed at adjusting refractoriness and structural stability.

The proportion of the mixture also needs to be considered, as different ratios will affect the performance of the final product, such as fluidity, strength, durability, etc. such as how the ratio of sand to cement powder in cement mortar affects strength, or how the mixture of sand and clay powder in ceramic production affects formability. Additionally, process requirements may be involved, such as certain production processes requiring mixtures to meet the requirements of forming, sintering, and other process steps. For instance, in 3D printing materials, the mixture of sand and powder may affect the printing accuracy and strength.

In multiple industries such as construction, metallurgy, chemical engineering, and casting, mixtures of sand and powder are widely used. This is mainly due to factors such as material performance optimization, process requirements, and cost control.
