EQUIPMENT FOCUS WASHING CLASSIFYING Accurate separations for frac sand classification The McLanahan Hydrosizer also known as a density separator provides accurate separations between 30 mesh and 100 mesh To make extremely sharp classifications Hydrosizers use hindered settling technology Separation is maintained automatically through a simple smart PID control loop After producers set the water injection rate and the desired operating density little monitoring is required The Hydrosizer control monitors the classification environment and adjusts the underflow valve to maintain a consistent performance There are no screen cloths to maintain the unit automatically compensates for changes in feed rate and the only moving part is the underflow valve McLanahan also partnered with Cemco Inc for the design and manufacture of the Portable Frac Sand Plant which was introduced in early 2012 The plant which is capable of processing 150 stph of raw feed allows customers with good deposits to start producing more quickly It is easily moved from one deposit site to another making it easy to produce frac sand at multiple locations www mclanahan com Hydro Clean now chassis mountable W S Tyler has added mobility to the list of benefits of its Hydro Clean washing system It now offers the ability to mount the machine on a chassis for easy movement from place to place within a quarry or even from jobsite to jobsite Like the original Hydro Clean the portable unit effectively cleans deleterious material from aggregate recycled and other minerals The results are cleaner products with higher selling value and profits from material that was previously considered waste In the process the Hydro Clean uses up to 75 percent less water than traditional washers and 15 percent less energy the company says The Hydro Clean is unique in the industry says Matthias Bremer innovation engineer at W S Tyler Making it mobile delivers the flexibility to locate washing closer to the actual job and reposition it as necessary to boost efficiency while delivering all the same profitability and environmental benefits of a stationary Hydro Clean Water consumption ranges from 27 to 211 gpm depending on application and model size Of the total volume of wastewater up to 90 percent can be recycled and reused in the Hydro Clean which only requires 10 percent fresh water to operate effectively the company says Hydro Clean units also require less energy than other washers www wstyler ca 0 111 2 20 PIT QUARRY June 2014 www pitandquarry com
