Efficient Screening Technology: Technical Precision as an Economic Gamechanger

Baseline Situation
  • The operator of a screening plant had stockpiled unscreened sand without any marketing option.

  • A new screening plant had to be built within a tight timeframe and directly connected to existing silos.

  • Proximity to a residential area and complex connections required careful, low-emission design and construction to reduce dust and noise.

  • A flexible loading system was needed – dust-reduced into silos or moist into skips – to enable economical use and create added value.

Solution

GERWIN developed a bespoke screening plant directly on two existing silos, serving both filler sand and screened sand storage. Advanced technology enables low-dust silo loading, flexible discharge of moistened material, and low-emission operation. Precise planning and structured integration allowed rapid commissioning despite complex site requirements.

Result

The plant delivers sustainable economic value: unscreened sand is now marketable, environmental and community protection is ensured, and operational efficiency sustainably improves the site’s profitability.
