CDE to host virtual tour of Fife Silica Sands’ latest wash plant
Wednesday 26 March, 10am: Virtual tour of new silica sand washing plant at Burrowine Moor Quarry
CDE, alongside Fife Silica Sands, are set to showcase their innovative silica sand washing technologies at a virtual tour event later this month.
CDE and Fife Silica Sands have worked together for 15 years, with their latest venture seeing the design and commissioning of a 210 tonnes/h silica sand wash plant at Burrowine Moor Quarry, in the central lowlands of Scotland.
The glass industry is the largest end-user of silica sand production, and with rising demand for this material across industries such as construction and technology, Fife Silica Sands sought CDE’s expertise to address the growing market needs.
The plant, which has been operating for a year, has delivered more than 570,000 tonnes of top-quality silica sand to customers across the UK and Ireland.
The upcoming virtual tour, taking place at 10am on Wednesday 26 March, will explore Fife Silica Sands’ solution, detailing how CDE have enabled the firm to produce consistent, high-quality products for a range of applications, including sports sands and construction aggregates and, in turn, supporting the glass industry.
Join CDE’s Chris McKeown, product life-cycle master, and Thomas Patterson, technical lead engineer, for an insightful virtual tour and discover how Fife Silica Sands and CDE are collaborating to lead the way in the production of silica sands.
