How we helped a Brazilian customer separate 0.1mm+ zircon sand with Model 120 & Model 230 dry air shaking tables, plus 3‑deck screens for 0.5mm / 1mm / 2mm classification.
1. One Month Ago: A Serious Inquiry from Brazil
A Brazilian zircon sand processor contacted us with a clear goal:
process zircon sand in a completely dry way – no water, no slurry, no settling ponds.
After discussing their material characteristics and capacity needs, they placed an order for:
4 units of Dry Air Shaking Tables (Air Tables)
5 units of Circular Vibrating Screens (3 layers, diameter 800mm)
2. Two Dry Air Shaking Table Models – For Different Capacity Needs
The customer chose two models of dry air tables to handle different throughput requirements:
| Model | Capacity | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Model 120 | 300‑500 kg/h | For precise, smaller‑scale separation |
| Model 230 | 500‑700 kg/h | For higher throughput, still maintaining excellent separation efficiency |
3. 3‑Layer Vibrating Screens (φ800mm) – Precise Size Classification
Screen diameter: 800mm
Number of layers: 3 decks
The customer requested three specific fractions:
| Deck | Target Size | Application / Typical Use |
|---|---|---|
| Top deck | 2mm | Coarse zircon for certain industrial applications |
| Middle deck | 1mm | Medium fraction for further processing |
| Bottom deck | 0.5mm | Fine high‑grade zircon for end customers |
Each screen is equipped with high‑quality stainless steel mesh, ensuring accurate cut points and long service life even with abrasive zircon sand.
4. Customer Factory Inspection: “Everything Works as Promised”
Before shipment, the customer sent their technical representative to our factory to inspect all 9 units:
They tested Model 120 and Model 230 dry air shaking tables with garnet and sand samples, confirming the separation efficiency.
They ran the 3‑layer 800mm vibrating screens with different mesh combinations to verify the 0.5mm / 1mm / 2mm classification accuracy.
✅ All units passed inspection with positive feedback.
5. Today: Shipment to Brazil – With Photos
Today we finally loaded the goods and shipped them to Brazil:
4 dry air shaking tables (Model 120 + Model 230)
5 circular vibrating screens (φ800mm, 3 layers)
6. Why This Combination Works for Zircon Sand
| Equipment | Role |
|---|---|
| Dry Air Shaking Table (Model 120 / 230) | Density separation of heavy zircon (>0.1mm) from light gangue – no water |
| 3‑Layer Circular Screen (φ800mm) | Size classification into 0.5mm, 1mm and 2mm fractions |
Together, they form a complete dry processing line that:
✅ Saves water and eliminates slurry treatment costs
✅ Produces clean, well‑classified zircon products
✅ Requires only electricity and routine maintenance
7. Can We Build a Similar Solution for You?
If you are processing:
Zircon sand / Zircon ore
Ilmenite, rutile, garnet, chromite
Any dry, free‑flowing heavy mineral
We can test your material and recommend the right combination of dry shaking tables and vibrating screens – including Model 120 (300‑500 kg/h), Model 230 (500‑700 kg/h) or larger models.
