High-Efficiency Glass Sand Production Machine – Precision, Durability, and Unmatched Output
Struggling with Inconsistent Glass Sand Quality or Low Production Rates?
Producing high-purity glass sand demands precision crushing, grading, and impurity removal—yet many operations face bottlenecks from outdated equipment, excessive energy costs, or inconsistent particle distribution. Our Glass Sand Production Machine delivers industrial-grade reliability, engineered to maximize yield while minimizing waste and downtime.
How Does the Glass Sand Production Machine Work?
A fully integrated system transforms raw silica or quartz into premium glass sand (SiO₂ ≥ 99.5%) through:
- Primary Crushing: Jaw/cone crushers reduce feedstock to ≤50mm.
- Washing & Scrubbing: Removes clay, dust, and organic contaminants.
- Grading & Screening: Multi-deck vibratory screens classify particles (0.1–0.6mm typical for glass).
- Magnetic Separation: Eliminates iron oxides with high-intensity rollers.
- Drying & Packaging: Optional rotary dryer for moisture control (<0.1%).
Key Features That Set Our Machine Apart
- AI-Enabled Grading Control: Real-time particle size monitoring via laser sensors ensures ±0.05mm consistency.
- Modular Design: Swap components (e.g., crushers, screens) to adapt to feedstock variations without full system downtime.
- Energy Recovery System: Recirculates 30% of process heat, cutting power costs by up to 18%.
- Abrasion-Resistant Linings: Tungsten-carbide coated wear parts last 3× longer than industry-standard manganese steel.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the minimum feedstock size?
The primary crusher accepts lumps up to 300mm; pre-crushing is recommended for larger quarry rock.
How is iron contamination controlled?
A two-stage process combines magnetic rollers and acid-wash modules (optional) for critical applications like optical glass. .jpg)
What’s the lead time for delivery?
12–16 weeks ex-works; expedited options reduce this to 8 weeks (+15% cost).
Is the system compatible with recycled glass cullet?
Yes—add our Cullet Pre-Treatment Module to remove adhesives and metals from post-consumer glass inputs ($65,000 upgrade).
