At Evans Transport's state-of-the-art sand batching plant at Headon near Ivybridge, South Devon, we transform raw feed material into a variety of high-quality sand products. Here's a detailed look at our process:
1. Raw Feed Material Intake:
We begin by receiving raw feed material, which is then loaded into our sand plant's feed hopper.
2. Incline Belt and Screening:
The raw material is conveyed to the incline belt, which transports it to the screener. The screener separates the material into different size fractions:
0-2mm sand – Golf courses, building sand, concrete plants, bedding sand and horse arena sand
0-4mm sand – Concrete plants, screed and plastering
1-4mm grit – brick paving and patio’s, for laying pipes and cables
2-6mm gravel – pipe bedding, concrete blocks and used in compost mixes
Oversize – as a fill, hardcore or drainage stone
20mm all in – concrete mix/ballast
3. Tundish and Sand Towers:
Material that passes through the bottom deck of the screener (0-2mm sand) is collected in a tundish and pumped to the top of the sand towers.
4. Cyclone and Drying:
A cyclone separates most of the water from the sand. The sand remains under the plant for drying until the next day before being moved to a stockpile for further drying (2 days).
5. Blending and Diverting:
To produce a 0-4mm product, we divert the 1-4mm grit into the 0-2mm sand stream.
6. Dry Screening:
We also use a dry screener to produce a 0-20mm all-in concrete mix/ballast.
