L F Pumping (Europe) Ltd offers the most cost effective, and clean alternative for sand drying. Sand is used in a wide range of market sectors and industries throughout the world, and in many situations the moisture content needs to be accurately and precisely controlled to ensure high quality finishes of product. With the fluctuations in price for natural resources used in traditional methods of drying, it is impossible to control costs and therefore retail prices for this important process.

The LamiFlo™ Sand Drying System is a non-thermal sand dryer which negates the use of any natural resources to generate heat. In traditional fluidised bed or rotary drum sand dryers the major operating cost element is from the natural resources being used to heat the materials to drive off the moisture content, and then subsequently energy is used to cool down the materials to enable packaging of the product.

By comparison the LamiFlo™ Sand Drying System drives off the moisture content with air and therefore needs neither heat source to dry nor energy to cool the materials as it is delivered at ambient temperature thereby guaranteeing both savings in operating costs, and a reduction of the carbon footprint. Bespoke systems can be designed to handle up to 500 tonnes per hour. 

 


Key Finding - In the developed world, industrial drying operations account for anything between 10 and 25% of national energy consumption. The major costs for dryers are in their operation rather than their capital costs.” Quote from Goodquarry.com 





What is the size of the LamiFlo™ Sand Dryer? 

Each individual sand dryer is uniquely designed to suit your individual requirements, but in general terms the sand dryer is 35 metres long and maximum of 3 metres wide. This can be compacted if required. See a typical LamiFloTM Plant Layout here.

Is the LamiFlo™ Sand Dryer static or mobile? 

Both static and mobile LamiFlo™ Sand Dryer options are available. The static LamiFlo™ Sand Dryer has a capacity of 500 tonnes per hour, whereas currently the mobile LamiFlo™ Sand Dryer will dry up to 250 tonnes per hour. 

How long from feeding the hopper before dry sand is being emitted? 

This depends on both the input and target moisture content but expect dry sand after 10 seconds.

At what temperature will the sand be delivered? 

The LamiFlo™ Sand Drying System will deliver the material at an ambient temperature. 

What is the Maintenance Scheme of the LamiFlo™ sand drying system?  

L F Pumping (Europe) Ltd will offer a maintenance package with any of the LamiFlo™ Sand Drying Systems. The drying system will need annual inspection, but generally can be used 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year, without interruption. Due to the LamiFlo™ Sand Dryer revolutionary design maintenance and downtime is significantly reduced compared to all traditional sand drying systems
