Silica sand laboratories in Segovia

Our silica sand laboratories in Segovia

The extraction of silica sand in Segovia dates back to the family business Arenas Silíceas Gómez Vallejo. Our laboratories are where we perform silica sand washing, inspection, and testing.

We have a team of professionals led by a laboratory manager who is responsible for verifying processes and identifying minerals based on their nature or classification.

Based on the studies conducted, inspection and control of silica sands using particle size, moisture, or clay tests, among others, is being considered. This is the simplest and least expensive method for properly separating the different raw materials based on the differences in their specific weights during the processing stages.

Phases of the silica treatment process

Extraction is the phase where the first treatments of the silica are carried out.

Siliceous sand washing is the phase involving hydrocyclones, rotating classification drums, and clean water (purified and treated), removing clays and storing the water for drying.

The phase where we dry the silica: we have three drying plants to achieve the particle size curves that our customers require.

We package dry and wet products using three packaging lines and one automatic packaging line, producing up to 2,000 bags per hour.

Our diverse range of transportation options makes us one of the companies with the best logistics in the sector.

Today, we have a silica processing plant where we process quarry sands through various processes, offering a higher-quality finished product with different particle sizes. Silica production provides the physical and chemical properties that are used as raw materials for glass and porcelain manufacturing. Visit our facilities and tell us what you need.
