SAND PRODUCER MEETS GOALS WITH HYDROSIZER PLANT
M
ansfield Sand Company has been quarrying sand in north Nottinghamshire, England, for more than 170 years. The company is a renowned supplier of materials for top-class sports and sporting venues across the United Kingdom and Ireland. It supplies sand to 16 Premier League clubs, 16 Championship clubs and 120 other football (soccer) league and nonleague clubs, for use in their stadiums and training facilities. Besides sand for football stadiums, Mansfield Sand also produces a wide range of products for landscaping and equestrian uses, including championship golf and world-class show-jumping arenas, as well as asphalt sand, foundry sand, and sand for
concrete and brick products. In 2014 Mansfield Sand wanted to upgrade its plant and control system to process a new deposit. The company required a plant that would process 300 tonnes per hour of -65mm sand to manufacture its various products, including golf sand that meets United States Golf Association standards, block pavior sand and asphalt sand. In addition to this requirement, the local planning commission set a noise restriction that the new plant would not disturb some rare birds nesting near the boundaries of the site. At this time McLanahan applications engineer Neill Rowland was liaising with Mansfield Sand about purchasing a Hydrosizer sand plant.
“One of the things that sold the plant was McLanahan’s technical ability to offer plant that would produce five different products in one pass,” Rowland said. He said experience and confidence also played a role in Mansfield Sand’s decision to work with McLanahan. The company was familiar with Hydrosizer systems from an existing plant it had been operating for several decades. “When you start getting down to really fine sizing, Hydrosizer classification is really more efficient and more cost-effective,” Rowland said. “The Hydrosizer is the only piece of equipment suitable for the application to achieve the tight tolerances.” McLanahan installed a Hydrosizer plant
