Headline: Reduce Downtime and Maximize Yield: Engineered Sand & Gravel Mining Solutions for HighVolume Operations

1. PAINPOINT DRIVEN OPENING

Your screening plant is clogging every 90 minutes. Your wash water is consuming 400 gallons per ton of throughput. Your crusher liners are wearing out at 12,000 tons instead of the projected 18,000. These are not hypotheticals; they are the operational costs eating into your margins—estimated at $4.50 to $7.00 per ton in lost production and maintenance overhead for a typical 500 TPH sand and gravel operation.

Are your current processing lines struggling with high clay content that blinds your screens? Are you facing increasing fines generation that reduces your salable concrete sand yield? Do your current wear parts require replacement every 40 hours of operation, forcing unscheduled downtime? These challenges directly impact your ability to meet spec for DOT or readymix contracts.

2. PRODUCT OVERVIEW

This Sand Gravel Mining Private Label Manufacturer Discount program provides directaccess, engineered processing equipment designed for the specific abrasion and classification demands of alluvial and crushed sand & gravel deposits. The equipment operates on a closedloop wet classification and dewatering workflow:

• Step 1: Feed & Scrubbing: Raw material enters a heavyduty rotary trommel or log washer to break down agglomerated clays and separate oversize (+3inch) material.
• Step 2: Primary Screening: Material passes through a highfrequency horizontal screen deck (typically 5/16” to 3/8”) to separate gravel from the sand fraction.
• Step 3: Hydraulic Classification: The sand slurry enters a hindered settling classifier (hydrosizer) to separate fine sand (concrete sand) from ultrafines (silt/clay).
• Step 4: Dewatering: The classified sand is processed through a dewatering screen (typically 45degree incline) to achieve a surface moisture of 1215%, meeting ASTM C33 standards.
• Step 5: Stockpiling: The dewatered sand is conveyed to a radial stacker for consistent, segregated stockpiles.

Application Scope: Ideal for wet processing of natural sand & gravel deposits with 525% silt content. Limitations: Not recommended for dryonly operations or deposits with >40% clay content without prescreening.

8. FAQ

Q: Can this private label equipment be customized to match my existing plant's paint color and branding?
A: Yes. The private label program allows for custom paint (RAL or Pantone), decals, and nameplate branding at no additional cost for orders over $500,000.

Q: What is the typical lead time for a 500 TPH system?
A: Standard lead time is 810 weeks from order confirmation. Expedited production (6 weeks) is available for a 5% surcharge.

Q: Does the equipment meet ASTM C33 and AASHTO M6 standards for concrete sand?
A: Yes. The hindered settling classifier and dewatering screen are engineered to produce sand meeting ASTM C33 (concrete) and AASHTO M6 (mortar) gradation specifications. We provide a gradation guarantee for the sand fraction.

Q: How does the private label discount compare to buying direct from a major OEM?
A: Our pricing is typically 1218% lower than comparable branded OEM equipment for the same capacity and feature set. This is achieved by eliminating dealer margins and using standardized component sourcing.

Q: What is the warranty on wear parts like screen panels and pump impellers?
A: Wear parts carry a 90day warranty against manufacturing defects. Structural components (frames, tanks) carry a 3year warranty. Consumables (liners, belts) are not covered under standard warranty.

Q: Can this system handle material with high clay content (over 20%)?
A: For clay content above 20%, we recommend adding a heavyduty log washer upstream of the screening circuit. The standard system is optimized for 520% clay content. We can provide a custom quote for highclay applications.

Q: What are the minimum order quantities for the private label discount?
A: The private label discount applies to complete processing systems (minimum $250,000 order value). Individual components (e.g., a single screen) are not eligible for the discount tier.
