The cost of setting up a guar gum processing plant varies based on capacity, automation level, and location. A typical plant includes cleaning, dehusking, splitting, milling, and refining stages. Core equipment comprises:
1. Cleaning Unit: Removes impurities (capacity: 1–10 MT/h).
2. Dehusking Machine: Separates husk from endosperm (power: 15–30 kW).
3. Splitter: Produces guar splits (output: 80–85% purity).
4. Grinding Mill: Converts splits into powder (fineness: 200–300 mesh).
For sand/aggregate production, a crushing-screening-grinding line is essential. Key equipment includes:
– Jaw Crusher: Primary crushing (feed size: ≤1,200 mm; output: 50–800 MT/h).
– Cone Crusher: Secondary crushing (capacity: 30–600 MT/h).
– VSI Crusher: Shaping sand (output: 60–520 MT/h; fineness modulus: 2.6–3.0).
| Equipment | Model | Capacity | Power |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jaw Crusher | PE-600×900 | 50–160 MT/h | 75 kW |
| Cone Crusher | HPT300 | 120–400 MT/h | 315 kW |
| VSI Crusher | S8-1145 | 200–520 MT/h | 250 kW |
Q1: What’s the guar gum yield per ton of seeds?
A: ~30–35% refined powder.
Q2: How to reduce dust in sand production?
A: Use wet processing or dust collectors (efficiency >99%).
