At present, with the increasing demand for sand and gravel aggregates, the scale of newly built sand and gravel production lines is generally above one million tons per year, and some even reach ten million tons per year. In order to make the whole project achieve the expected production effect, we must consider the following aspects in the early stage of the construction of the new project:

Configuration of sand production line

1. The product quality should meet the standard

Product quality can mainly be referred to from the following two aspects:

High quality of finished aggregate

Product quality should not only meet the national standards, but also meet the needs of the market.

High-quality aggregate (coarse aggregate and fine aggregate, fine aggregate is sand), firstly, the particle shape should be good; secondly, the gradation should be reasonable. Especially for machine-made sand, high-quality machine-made sand products must not only meet the sand requirements of commercial concrete, but also meet the requirements of higher standards for ready-mixed mortar sand (ready-mixed mortar is an inevitable requirement in the future. On-site stirring will be phased out over several years). Reasonable continuous grading can meet the needs of high-quality concrete. Neither of them is dispensable.

Soil content up to standard

High-quality concrete has higher and higher requirements for soil content. One of the conditions for the success of the sand and gravel aggregate production line is that the aggregate product of the production line must meet the requirements of soil content. In China, there is a lot of rain in the south, and there is a shortage of water in the north. Some mines contain less surface soil, some contain more soil, and some have additional soil, and so on. Different processes need to be adopted in different situations; otherwise it will cause the failure of the project or increase the huge cost of post-transformation.

The ore characteristics of the mine determine many quality characteristics of sand and stone products, which cannot be changed by changing the process flow of the production line, such as strength index, and the content of needle-like finished products, which is also largely related to the ore characteristics, and the content of alkali active substances, mud content, etc.

After understanding these situations, it is possible to formulate the finished product quality indicators of the production line in a targeted and more objective manner, so as to select a more reasonable production process and main equipment to achieve the predetermined goals of the enterprise. As for other quality indicators, such as particle gradation, stone powder and soil content, apparent density and moisture content, the standard can be achieved by selecting an appropriate production process.

2. Some precautions for the construction of the production line

Good processing technology

The primary condition for the success of the sand and gravel aggregate production line is that the processing technology is good. The good process is reflected in the simplicity of the process, and the equipment is convenient and simple to use and maintain.

Good processing technology is also reflected in the fact that the number of equipment is small and the models are as uniform as possible. The number of equipment items is small, the failure points are reduced, and the civil construction cost will be reduced accordingly; the models are unified, the cost of spare parts is low, and management is convenient. A good process is characterized by a high equipment operating rate and long continuous trouble-free operation.

Automation and intelligence

The second important factor in the construction of the production line is to improve the degree of automation, realize intelligent control, reduce staffing, increase equipment operating rate, and extend continuous trouble-free operation time.

Meet environmental protection requirements

The third important factor in the construction of the production line is that the production line must meet the environmental protection requirements and meet the green mine construction standards, otherwise it will not survive.

Therefore, it is recommended to choose an experienced design institute to carry out the overall planning and design of the project, or entrust the project to the institute for turnkey general contracting.

3. Equipment selection

Whether the equipment selection is reasonable is the primary factor that determines the success of a production line. The equipment selection of the sand and gravel aggregate production line mainly depends on the physical properties of the raw materials (such as the hardness of the raw materials, the abrasiveness index, the soil content, etc.).

Under normal circumstances, any production line that has been designed and selected by a formal and qualified professional design unit will not have equipment selection problems. However, because many production line investors did not find formal design institutes for design, and directly copied the equipment selection of other enterprises for construction, serious problems of unreasonable equipment selection occurred after operation.

This problem is generally difficult to solve by adjusting the process, and the manufacturer has to replace the equipment to ensure the long-term stable and economical operation of the production line.

4. Issues to be considered in the construction of supporting mines

(1) The selection of mines is very important, and the mines should be selected according to the planned product types.

For the selection of mine sites, it is best to have no stripping, good topography and geological conditions, and to find the most economical mine for mining. Of course, if the waste rock stripped from the mine or the tailings after beneficiation can be used, this possibility must be given priority.

(2) It represents significant progress to shift from neglecting the construction of supporting mines to developing rational and well-ordered mines. The ultimate goal should be to build mines into green mines that meet relevant national standards, which sets higher scientific requirements for practitioners in the mining industry.

(3) The construction of the sand and gravel production line should be considered as a systematic project, and the work of the mine is an important part of this system.
