Production

Extraction and Processing

The quartz sand is extracted with modern suction dredgers from below ground water level and becomes washed and sized in hydroclassifiers. To obtain very narrow size ranges, part quantities of the sand are dry sized with the help of screening machines of the latest screen generation. High-quality top grades with very low iron and titanium contents are produced by gravity and magnetic separation.
