Gravity Spiral Chutes Shipping to India for Silica Sand Processing
On March 28, 2025, 6 sets of gravity spiral chutes are loading container to ship to India customer’s site, for its silica sand processing project. This customer’s site is located in Kutchh, Gujarat.
Spiral chutes are gravity separation equipment commonly used in silica sand processing plants to separate sand particles by density and to remove the heavy metal. Shipping these to customer sites in India requires careful planning due to their size, weight, and the sensitive nature of the equipment.
