What is the profit per ton of quartz sand? How much does it cost to invest in a quartz sand plant?

1.What is the profit per ton of quartz sand?
It’s understood that the current price of ordinary quartz sand is around $29 per ton. After deducting labor and other costs, the profit per ton is between $12 and $18. This is just the price of ordinary quartz sand. High-precision quartz sand is around $43 per ton. The difference in processing profit is quite substantial.

2. What equipment is needed to build a quartz sand plant? How much does it cost?
Before discussing the cost of building a quartz sand plant, we must first understand the required equipment and the approximate investment. The following provides a detailed introduction to the required equipment and their prices:
1. Jaw crusher: This is the primary crushing equipment in a quartz sand production line. It is constructed of wear-resistant cast steel, features a deep crushing chamber, and a high crushing ratio. Its overall output ranges from 1 to 2,200 tons/hour. This deep crushing chamber optimizes the overall motion parameters, allowing material crushing to begin in the upper portion of the crushing chamber. The resulting product is uniform and can be directly fed into the next stage of equipment. Prices range from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of yuan.
2. Cone crusher and impact crusher: Both are secondary crushing equipment in a rock crushing line. However, cone crushers are more suitable for processing harder materials, with an overall output range of 12 to 700 tons/hour. They use extrusion crushing, resulting in a well-shaped finished product without repeated material processing. The finished product is well-shaped, contains less flakes, and contains less mud and fines. The price range is from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands.
3. Impact sand making machines offer a wide range of models, with an overall hourly output of 20-650 tons/h. They combine shaping and sand production, producing fine-grained, mostly cubic particles. They utilize a central feed system with cascading feed around the edges, reducing dust during material handling and promoting environmentally friendly production. Their sealed operation reduces dust and noise. Prices range from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands.

3. How much does it cost to build a quartz sand plant?
The investment required to build a quartz sand plant requires comprehensive consideration of many factors, including labor, utilities, equipment investment, and operating costs. Here’s an example from a SBKT customer: The production line details are as follows:
Production capacity: 200 tons per hour
Feed size: ≤600mm
Finished product size: 0-5mm
Daily operation: 8 hours
Equipment: Jaw crusher, cone crusher, sand making machine, sand washer, conveyor belt, screen, feeder
Production capacity can reach 1,600 tons. Initial machinery investment ranges from hundreds of thousands to over a million yuan.
Additional fees, labor, site costs, and utilities total approximately one million yuan.
Excluding these costs, the profit per ton of quartz sand produced during production is approximately 60 yuan, with annual revenue exceeding 10 million yuan.
