Mining and Mineral Processing Plants
For industrial minerals the margin sits in preparation: drying to specification, sharp classification and contamination-free handling. Pro Makina builds drying, screening, crushing and conveying lines for silica sand, calcite, perlite, feldspar and similar minerals — engineered from your ore data and product specifications.
Typical Plant Scopes
Sand drying plants
Rotary dryer lines bringing silica and foundry sand to specification moisture.
Crushing and screening
Jaw and impact crushing with multi-deck classification into product fractions.
Mineral handling
Conveying, elevating, storage and loading systems for abrasive materials.
Dust management
Cyclone and filter systems recovering fines and protecting the site environment.
Engineering for Abrasive Reality
Minerals punish equipment: quartz sand wears flights, chutes and cyclones; hot products stress bearings and belts. Our mineral lines are specified with wear plates, hardfaced components and generous drive reserves — decisions taken at design time from the ore's abrasiveness, not discovered after the first liner failure.
Drying minerals is thermally straightforward but economically sensitive: fuel is the dominant operating cost. We size dryers from measured moisture data and design heat recovery and insulation so specification moisture is reached at the lowest sustainable fuel consumption.
Data Required for a Mineral Line Proposal
| Design input | Role in the design |
|---|---|
| Mineral type and abrasiveness | Wear protection specification |
| Feed moisture and target moisture | Dryer heat balance |
| Product fractions required | Screening configuration |
| Capacity (t/h) | Line and equipment sizing |
| Fuel available at site | Burner and energy concept |
Dryer and screen sizing are calculated from your ore samples; moisture measurement of representative samples is recommended.
Why Pro Makina
Manufactured in Turkey
Design and fabrication are carried out in our own facility in Eskişehir, Turkey, with full in-house engineering control.
Project-based engineering
Every machine is sized around your raw material, moisture content and capacity target — not sold from a fixed catalogue.
Export experience
We prepare international technical proposals, shipping documentation and commissioning support for overseas projects.
Single point of responsibility
Process design, fabrication, automation and commissioning are managed by one engineering team.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which minerals do you have experience with?
Silica sand, calcite, perlite and feldspar lines are our core references in mineral processing, alongside general crushed stone and recycled mineral applications.
Can you dry sand to very low moisture for glass or foundry use?
Yes — the dryer and cooling/handling chain are designed for the specification your customer requires; the target moisture is a design input we commit to.
How do you handle the dust side of mineral drying?
With cyclone pre-separation and pulse-jet filters sized for the dryer's air data; recovered fines are returned or collected as a by-product depending on your product rules.
