Dry Screening

UK Supplier

Dry screening is a generic term applied to the manufacture of closely graded silica sands.

UK sourced grades are:

  • 16/30 silica sand (0.5-1.0mm)
  • 14/25 (0.7-1.2mm)
  • 8/16 (1.0-2.0mm)
  • 6/14 (1.18-2.8mm)
  • 5/8 (2.0-3.35mm)

Applications for these grades include artificial sports surfaces, water filtration, industrial resin and cement-based flooring compounds and non-slip surfaces.

These applications rely heavily on the close grading and high hardness of the silica.

If an improved colour and more exacting grading is required imported Belgian Quartz is stocked at our central stores.

Grades Available:

  • 0.1-0.3mm
  • 0.1-0.5mm
  • 0.3-0.5mm
  • 0.4-0.8mm
  • 0.5-1.0mm
  • 0.7-1.25mm
  • 1.0-2.0mm
  • 2.0-3.0mm
  • 2.0-4.0mm
  • 3.0-4.0mm
  • 3.0-5.0mm
  • 3.0-6.0mm
  • 4.0-6.0mm
  • 5.0-8.0mm

Uses and applications for dry screening

Dry screening is widely used to separate different sized particles in various industries, such as mining and construction, allowing for efficient sorting without the need for liquid processes.

It ensures that the products meet the required specifications by screening out materials that do not conform to desired size or type.

By screening out particles that are not needed, dry screening helps in reducing waste, thereby leading to a more cost-effective production process.

It enhances the efficiency of downstream processes by ensuring that only appropriately sized materials are processed further.

Since dry screening does not require water, it is more environmentally friendly and suitable for areas with limited water resources.

Dry screening is the process of separating particles without the use of water. It is commonly used in industries where moisture can be problematic or where water resources are scarce.

Some advantages of dry screening include reduced water usage, cost savings on water treatment, and the prevention of material contamination.

Dry screening is ideal for processing a range of materials, including minerals, sand, coal, and aggregates.

Yes, dry screening requires specific equipment designed to effectively sift and separate dry materials, such as vibratory screens or air classifiers.
