Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of manufactured sand processing technology, specifically to a method and system for removing mica from manufactured granite sand. Background Technology
[0002] Sand and gravel are essential raw materials for infrastructure construction, including buildings, water conservancy projects, roads, bridges, and municipal works. To meet engineering needs and environmental requirements, manufactured sand is gradually replacing natural sand as the main raw material for concrete. Currently, many hydropower projects utilize locally sourced materials, producing artificial aggregates from excavated rocks. Mica is commonly found in the parent rocks of sand and gravel raw materials such as granite and marble.
[0003] In the production of manufactured sand from granite, the crushing process releases mica particles. Without effective mica removal measures, these particles will eventually enter the finished sand. Layered mica has low strength and poor adhesion to cement paste. Numerous studies have shown that when the mica content in manufactured sand exceeds a certain limit, it significantly reduces the strength and durability of the sand, severely impacting the compressive and tensile strength of concrete. Therefore, national and industry standards clearly limit the mica content in sand to no more than 2%, such as GB / T 14684 "Construction Sand" and DL / T 5144 "Specification for Hydraulic Concrete Construction". Against this backdrop, when using granite with high mica content to produce manufactured sand, selecting a suitable mica removal method becomes crucial in determining the quality of the finished sand.
[0004] Traditional methods for removing mica from manufactured sand mainly include air classification, magnetic separation, and wet screening. Air classification works by utilizing the flaky structure of mica, which separates and flakes along its cleavage planes during crushing. A horizontal airflow separates the lighter, flaky mica from the heavier sand and gravel. Air classification is simple and inexpensive, but it suffers from poor separation accuracy for fine particles. The finer the material, the smaller the shape differences, and mica is typically concentrated in fine-grained manufactured sand. For fine particles, the airflow struggles to effectively distinguish particles of different densities or shapes, resulting in the loss of fine-grained manufactured sand and an increase in the fineness modulus of the separated sand. Magnetic separation primarily targets magnetic mica such as biotite and ferromica, using the difference in magnetic properties between mica and sand / grain for separation. Its advantage is significant separation, especially for fine particles, as finer particles result in more complete mica dissociation and higher separation accuracy. However, for finer particles, it has limitations. Coarse materials, due to the inclusions or intergrowths formed by incomplete dissociation of mica, have a certain magnetic properties. These intergrowths will be removed along with the mica, which not only wastes sand and gravel but also reduces the fineness modulus of the selected manufactured sand. The wet screening method mainly utilizes the light texture and flaky structure of mica in water to initially separate the mica using a spiral chute. For wastewater containing sand, the mica is then screened out to recover fine sand and gravel powder. Although this method is simple in principle and easy to operate, it consumes a lot of water. It has a good separation effect on lighter materials such as muscovite, potassium mica, and sericite, but it is difficult to separate heavier materials such as biotite.
[0005] In summary, existing methods for removing mica from manufactured sand suffer from problems such as difficulty in achieving efficient separation of all particle sizes, unreasonable gradation of sand and gravel after separation, resource waste, and low efficiency. Therefore, there is an urgent need to find a new method for removing mica from manufactured granite sand with high mica content, which can effectively reduce the mica content in the sand while producing sand and gravel aggregates with gradation that meet the specifications.
[0006] Furthermore, existing methods directly screen manufactured sand, but manufactured sand contains a large amount of mica-grain aggregates. These mica-grain aggregates are mixed into the finished manufactured sand and cannot be screened out, resulting in poor mica removal and affecting the quality of the finished manufactured sand.

[0041] 2. By only performing air separation on coarse materials, the drawbacks of poor separation effect of fine particles, large loss of fine-grained manufactured sand, and increased fineness modulus of sand and gravel after separation can be effectively avoided. At the same time, the coarse material air separation process is simple, with less pollution, obvious separation effect, low dust removal pressure, and low cost.

This helps to reduce the loss of manufactured sand.
[0043] 4. Before screening, the mica is kneaded to fully separate it from the sand and gravel, preventing them from sticking together. This facilitates subsequent screening and ensures the screening effect and the quality of the finished product.
[0044] 5. The process of kneading allows for the separation of coarse and fine materials, resulting in higher efficiency and reduced costs.
[0045] 6. Vibration during the kneading process allows for more thorough separation of the mica, increasing kneading efficiency and resulting in better separation. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0060] Example 1:
[0061] Mineral phase analysis showed that the main mineral components of this granite were plagioclase, quartz, potassium feldspar, amphibole, and mica, with mica accounting for about 8%. The contents of each component are shown in Table 1.
[0062]
[0063] Table 1 - Mineral Composition of Granite
[0064] The mica content of the semi-finished manufactured sand obtained from the crushing system was tested using the mica content test method provided in the national standard GB / T 14684 "Construction Sand". The mica content in the manufactured sand raw material was found to be 13.45%.
[0065] Further sieve analysis of the raw material, manufactured sand, determined its modulus to be 2.63, classifying it as Zone 2 manufactured sand according to the national standard GB / T14684 "Construction Sand". The specific sieve residues for each particle size and the cumulative sieve residues are shown in Table 2.
[0066]
[0067] Table 2 - Particle size distribution and modulus of raw sand and gravel
[0068] To effectively remove mica and produce manufactured sand that meets particle size distribution requirements, such as Figure 1 As shown, the specific implementation method includes the following steps:
[0069] S1. The semi-finished manufactured sand obtained from the crushing system is kneaded and then screened and graded to obtain coarse sand and fine sand;
[0070] S2. The coarse sand obtained in S1 is screened and the flaky mica is removed by air classification to obtain heavy product and light product.
[0071] S3. The undersize sand obtained in S1 is subjected to high-gradient wet magnetic separation to remove the weakly magnetic fine mica, resulting in non-magnetic and magnetic products.
[0072] S4. Combine the heavy product from S2 with the non-magnetic product from S3 to obtain fully-sized manufactured sand with a mica content of <2%.
[0073] Preferably, the sieve aperture used for screening and grading in step S1 is 1.18 mm.
[0074] The wind speed in step S2 is 6 m / s.
[0075] The magnetic field strength for magnetic separation in step S3 is 16000 Oe.
[0076] In step S3, the magnetic product is dried by the drying unit, and the non-magnetic product is dehydrated by the dehydration screen.
[0077] In step S4, the heavy product and the non-magnetic product are mixed by a mixing device to obtain fully graded manufactured sand with a gradation that meets the specifications.
[0078] After sorting, the mica content in the manufactured sand was measured to be 0.67% according to the national standard GB / T 14684 "Construction Sand". The sand and gravel product rate was 54.54%, and the modulus was 2.67, which meets the particle size distribution requirements of Zone 2 manufactured sand in the national standard GB / T 14684 "Construction Sand". The sieve residue of each particle size and the cumulative sieve residue are shown in Table 3.
[0079]
[0080] Table 3 - Particle size distribution and modulus of sand and gravel after sorting in Example 1
[0081] As can be seen from the table above, after grading and sorting, the mica content of the manufactured sand is reduced to ≤2%, and the overall modulus does not change much compared with the raw material. It still meets the particle size distribution requirements of Zone 2 manufactured sand in the national standard. The raw material can be used as qualified manufactured sand after being separated and sorted, avoiding the cumbersome steps of manufactured sand blending.
[0082] Example 2:
[0083] Repeat the steps in Example 1, except that the magnetic field strength of the magnetic separation in step S3 is 13000 Oe.
[0084] After sorting, the obtained manufactured sand has a mica content of 1.48%, a sand and gravel product rate of 65.47%, and a modulus of 2.57, which meets the requirements of particle size distribution for Zone 2 manufactured sand in the national standard GB / T 14684 "Construction Sand". The sieve residue of each particle size and the cumulative sieve residue are shown in Table 4.
[0085]
[0086] Table 4 - Particle size distribution and modulus of sand and gravel after sorting in Example 2
[0087] Example 3:
[0088] Repeat the steps in Example 1, except that the wind speed in step S2 is 4 m / s.
[0089] After sorting, the obtained manufactured sand has a mica content of 0.68%, a sand and gravel product rate of 58.97%, and a modulus of 2.78, which meets the requirements of particle size distribution for Zone 2 manufactured sand in the national standard GB / T 14684 "Construction Sand". The sieve residue of each particle size and the cumulative sieve residue are shown in Table 5.

[0092] Example 4:
[0093] Repeat the steps in Example 1, except that the wind speed in step S2 is 4 m / s and the magnetic field strength in step S3 is 13000 Oe.
[0094] After sorting, the obtained manufactured sand has a mica content of 1.42%, a sand and gravel product rate of 69.91%, and a modulus of 2.66, which meets the requirements of particle size distribution for Zone 2 manufactured sand in the national standard GB / T 14684 "Construction Sand". The sieve residue of each particle size and the cumulative sieve residue are shown in Table 6.

[0096] Table 6 - Particle size distribution and modulus of sand and gravel after sorting in Example 4
[0097] As can be seen from the above embodiments, the mica removal method provided by the present invention can effectively reduce the biotite content in granite manufactured sand, ensuring that the produced manufactured sand gradation meets the requirements of the specifications while meeting the requirement that the mica content is ≤2%. The advantages of the mica removal method provided by the present invention are its simple process, significant effect, energy saving and environmental protection, and good production and economic benefits.
[0098] The technical principle of this invention is to organically combine the different occurrence characteristics of mica in coarse and fine materials with the respective separation advantages of gravity and magnetic separation to achieve efficient removal of mica from all particle sizes of sand and gravel. Specifically, air separation utilizes the characteristic that mica is broken and dissociated into flakes in the coarse particle size. Under horizontal wind conditions, mica has high wind resistance and is easily blown away, thus achieving separation from heavier sand and gravel. Magnetic separation utilizes the characteristic that mica has weak magnetism and is fully dissociated in the fine particle size. Under high gradient magnetic field conditions, it achieves separation from non-magnetic sand and gravel. Furthermore, the semi-finished manufactured sand is kneaded before screening to treat the adhered mica-sand and gravel material, separating the mica from the sand and gravel, and then screening to ensure the screening effect.
[0099] Example 5:
[0100] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, a system for removing mica from granite manufactured sand is characterized by comprising a primary screening mechanism and two secondary screening mechanisms. The primary screening mechanism is used to screen coarse sand and fine sand, and the two secondary screening mechanisms are used to screen the coarse sand and fine sand obtained by the primary screening mechanism.
[0101] The primary screening mechanism includes a kneading device for kneading semi-finished manufactured sand to facilitate the separation of mica.
[0102] By kneading the semi-finished manufactured sand and then screening it, the adhering mica-sand and gravel materials can be treated, separating the mica from the sand and gravel, and then screening is carried out to ensure the screening effect.
[0103] In the preferred embodiment, the secondary screening mechanism includes an air separator 13 and a magnetic separator 14. The air separator 13 is equipped with a drying chamber 12 at its feed end, and the magnetic separator 14 is equipped with a drying unit 15 and a dewatering screen 16 at its discharge end. The drying unit 15 is used to dry magnetic products, and the dewatering screen 16 is used to process non-magnetic products. The drying chamber 12, air separator 13, magnetic separator 14, drying unit 15, and dewatering screen 16 can all be existing equipment. The method of this application is followed by control using existing methods.
[0104] The products separated by the air classifier 13 and the non-magnetic products are mixed by the mixing equipment 17. The mixing equipment 17 can be any existing equipment. The method of this application is followed by control using existing methods.
[0105] Example 6:
[0106] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown in Figures 6 and 9, the primary screening mechanism also includes a linear vibrating screen 11. The linear vibrating screen 11 can be made using existing equipment. The linear vibrating screen 11 is used to screen the products processed by the kneading equipment.
[0107] The kneading equipment includes a support frame 2 and a rotating cylinder 3. The top of the support frame 2 is provided with multiple guide rings 201. The guide rings 201 are sleeved on the outside of the rotating cylinder 3 through bearings 202. One end of the rotating cylinder 3 is provided with a feed pipe 303. The outer circumferential surface of the rotating cylinder 3 is provided with a first discharge hole 301 and a discharge mechanism.
[0108] In this embodiment, only one first discharge hole 301 is provided. The diameter of the first discharge hole 301 is larger than the particle diameter of the coarse manufactured sand. After the kneading is completed, the material is discharged through the first discharge hole 301 and the discharge mechanism. Then, the kneaded manufactured sand is transported to the linear vibrating screen 11 for screening into coarse and fine sand.
[0109] The rotating cylinder 3 is equipped with a drive frame 6, which includes a first turntable 601 and a second turntable 608. The first turntable 601 and the second turntable 608 are movably connected to the two ends of the inner wall of the rotating cylinder 3. A grinding roller 7 is provided between the first turntable 601 and the second turntable 608. The grinding roller 7 is located at the bottom end of the inner wall of the rotating cylinder 3. Under the action of its own weight, the grinding roller 7 will drive the first turntable 601 and the second turntable 608 to rotate relative to the rotating cylinder 3, so that the grinding roller 7 always moves within the range of the bottom end of the inner wall of the rotating cylinder 3, so as to knead the manufactured sand.
[0110] The top of the support frame 2 is provided with a motor frame 401, and the top of the motor frame 401 is provided with a first motor 402 and a fixed frame 404. The first motor 402 can be any existing type, such as a geared motor, a three-phase motor or a servo motor, and is controlled by existing technology. The output end of the first motor 402 is provided with a reducer 403. The output shaft of the first motor 402 is connected to the input shaft of the reducer 403. The output shaft of the reducer 403 is connected to a gear shaft 405. The gear shaft 405 passes through the fixed frame 404 and is connected to a drive gear 406. The outside of the rotating cylinder 3 is provided with a gear ring 407. The drive gear 406 meshes with the gear ring 407.
[0111] In use, manufactured sand is fed into the rotating drum 3 through the feed pipe 303 using existing methods (such as auger conveyor and elevator). Then, the first motor 402 is started, which drives the gear shaft 405 to rotate through the reducer 403, thereby driving the drive gear 406 to rotate, which in turn drives the gear ring 407 to rotate, and finally drives the rotating drum 3 to rotate. During the rotation of the rotating drum 3, the manufactured sand inside the rotating drum 3 will move along with it. At the same time, the grinding roller 7 continuously crushes and rubs the manufactured sand, which can separate the mica and gravel adhering in the manufactured sand, so as to facilitate subsequent screening.
[0112] Since the roller 7 always moves within the bottom range of the inner wall of the rotating cylinder 3, the roller 7 moves relative to the rotating cylinder 3 when the rotating cylinder 3 rotates, so as to complete the kneading of the manufactured sand.
[0113] After the kneading is completed, the material is discharged through the first discharge hole 301 and the discharge mechanism, and then the next step can be carried out.
[0114] Example 7:
[0115] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown in Figures 4, 5, and 6, the kneading device includes a support frame 2 and a rotating cylinder 3. The top of the support frame 2 is provided with multiple guide rings 201, which are sleeved on the outside of the rotating cylinder 3 through bearings 202. One end of the rotating cylinder 3 is provided with a feed pipe 303. The outer periphery of the rotating cylinder 3 is provided with a first discharge hole 301 and a second discharge hole 302, and the outer periphery of the rotating cylinder 3 is provided with two discharge mechanisms. The two discharge mechanisms are respectively connected to the first discharge hole 301 and the second discharge hole 302.
[0116] In this embodiment, the linear vibrating screen 11 is no longer used. Instead, after kneading, fine sand is directly screened out through the second discharge hole 302, and then coarse sand is discharged through the first discharge hole 301. There is no need to set up a separate vibrating screen, which saves costs.
[0117] The rotating cylinder 3 is equipped with a drive frame 6, which includes a first turntable 601 and a second turntable 608. The first turntable 601 and the second turntable 608 are movably connected to the two ends of the inner wall of the rotating cylinder 3. A grinding roller 7 is provided between the first turntable 601 and the second turntable 608. The grinding roller 7 is located at the bottom end of the inner wall of the rotating cylinder 3. Under the action of its own weight, the grinding roller 7 will drive the first turntable 601 and the second turntable 608 to rotate relative to the rotating cylinder 3, so that the grinding roller 7 always moves within the range of the bottom end of the inner wall of the rotating cylinder 3, so as to knead the manufactured sand.
[0118] The top of the support frame 2 is provided with a motor frame 401, the top of the motor frame 401 is provided with a first motor 402 and a fixed frame 404, the output end of the first motor 402 is provided with a reducer 403, the output shaft of the first motor 402 is connected to the input shaft of the reducer 403, the output shaft of the reducer 403 is connected to a gear shaft 405, the gear shaft 405 passes through the fixed frame 404, the gear shaft 405 is connected to a drive gear 406, the outside of the rotating cylinder 3 is provided with a gear ring 407, and the drive gear 406 meshes with the gear ring 407.
[0119] In use, manufactured sand is fed into the rotating drum 3 through the feed pipe 303 using existing methods (such as auger conveyor and elevator). Then, the first motor 402 is started, which drives the gear shaft 405 to rotate through the reducer 403, thereby driving the drive gear 406 to rotate, which in turn drives the gear ring 407 to rotate, and finally drives the rotating drum 3 to rotate. During the rotation of the rotating drum 3, the manufactured sand inside the rotating drum 3 will move along with it. At the same time, the grinding roller 7 continuously crushes and rubs the manufactured sand, which can separate the mica and gravel adhering in the manufactured sand, so as to facilitate subsequent screening.
[0120] Since the roller 7 always moves within the bottom range of the inner wall of the rotating cylinder 3, the roller 7 moves relative to the rotating cylinder 3 when the rotating cylinder 3 rotates, so as to complete the kneading of the manufactured sand.
[0121] After kneading, fine sand is first discharged through the second discharge hole 302 and the discharge mechanism, and then coarse sand is discharged through the first discharge hole 301 and the discharge mechanism before proceeding to the next step. The operation is simple, and screening is completed while kneading, which increases efficiency and reduces costs.
[0122] In the above embodiments, as shown in 2, 4, 5 and 9, the discharge mechanism includes a fixed sleeve 501 that is movably sleeved on the outside of the rotating cylinder 3. The fixed sleeve 501 is connected to the support frame 2 through a connecting frame 502. The connection between the fixed sleeve 501 and the rotating cylinder 3 is in close contact. The bottom of the fixed sleeve 501 is provided with a discharge pipe 503, which communicates with the interior of the rotating cylinder 3. A valve 504 is provided inside the discharge pipe 503, and the valve 504 is preferably an existing gate valve.
[0123] During kneading, valve 504 is closed, and the manufactured sand is kneaded inside the rotating drum 3. The manufactured sand that enters the first discharge hole 301 and the second discharge hole 302 will fall naturally under the action of gravity when the rotating drum 3 rotates to the top, without affecting the overall kneading effect. When it is necessary to discharge the material, open the valve 504 corresponding to the second discharge hole 302 to discharge fine sand. After the fine sand is discharged, open the valve 504 corresponding to the first discharge hole 301 to discharge coarse sand. The operation is simple and the material is easy to discharge.
[0124] The size of the first discharge hole 301 ensures that coarse material can pass through smoothly, while the size of the second discharge hole 302 is determined according to actual needs. For example, if the diameter boundary between fine sand and coarse sand is defined as 1 mm, then the diameter of the second discharge hole 302 is 1 mm.
[0125] Example 8:
[0126] like Figure 4 , 5 As shown in Figure 6, both ends of the roller 7 are provided with rotating shafts 701, which are rotatably connected to the interior of the first turntable 601 and the second turntable 608.
[0127] The bottom of the inner wall of the rotating cylinder 3 is adapted to the grinding roller 7; as needed, such as Figure 4 As shown, the roller 7 can be cylindrical; or, for example... Figure 5 As shown, the middle part of the roller 7 is cylindrical and the two ends are frustum-shaped. The inner wall of the rotating cylinder 3 is adapted to the roller 7, so that the machine sand in the rotating cylinder 3 gathers in the middle, which facilitates the discharge.
[0128] The inner wall of the rotating cylinder 3 and the surface of the roller 7 are both provided with protrusions to enhance the kneading effect;
[0129] The drive frame 6 also includes a connecting shaft 602 connected to the first turntable 601. The connecting shaft 602 passes through the end of the rotating cylinder 3 away from the feed pipe 303. The connecting shaft 602 is connected to a limiting disk 603, which is located outside the rotating cylinder 3. Both the connecting shaft 602 and the limiting disk 603 are movably connected to the rotating cylinder 3. The limiting disk 603 is connected to a second motor 604, which is preferably an existing motor, such as a servo motor or a stepper motor. The output shaft of the second motor 604 is connected to a drive wheel 605. The rotating shaft 701 located inside the first turntable 601 is provided with a driven wheel. Wheel 606, drive wheel 605 and driven wheel 606 are connected by belt 607. Belt 607 is preferably an elastic belt. There are transmission teeth between belt 607 and drive wheel 605 and driven wheel 606. The inner wall of rotating cylinder 3 is provided with inner ring 609. The cross-section of inner ring 609 is L-shaped. Inner ring 609 is connected to feed pipe 303. Inner ring 609 is located on the inner circumference of second turntable 608 and is used to limit the position of second turntable 608. The inner wall of rotating cylinder 3 is provided with outer ring 610. Outer ring 610 is located on the outer circumference of second turntable 608 and is used to limit the position of second turntable 608.
[0130] During kneading, the second motor 604 is started to drive the drive wheel 605 to rotate, which in turn drives the driven wheel 606 to rotate via the belt 607. This drives the rotating shaft 701 and the roller 7 to rotate, so that the roller 7 rotates relative to the rotating cylinder 3, which increases the kneading effect and ensures the kneading quality. Preferably, the roller 7 rotates in the opposite direction to the rotating cylinder 3.
[0131] If necessary, the belt drive can also be replaced with a gear drive, depending on the actual situation.
[0132] Example 9:
[0133] like Figure 7 As shown, the inside of the grinding roller 7 is hollow, and an oscillating frame 8 is provided inside the grinding roller 7. The oscillating frame 8 includes:
[0134] The roller 7 is provided with a first fixed shaft 811, which is coaxial with the axis of the roller 7. Multiple rotating sleeves 812 are sleeved on the outside of the first fixed shaft 811. Existing bearings are provided between the rotating sleeves 812 and the first fixed shaft 811. The rotating sleeves 812 rotate around the first fixed shaft 811. The rotating sleeves 812 are provided with connecting rods 813. A counterweight block 814 is provided at the end of the connecting rod 813 away from the rotating sleeves 812. Multiple limiting blocks 815 are provided on the inner wall of the roller 7. The limiting blocks 815 correspond one-to-one with the rotating sleeves 812.
[0135] During the rotation of the roller 7, the first fixed shaft 811 and the limiting block 815 will rotate. When the limiting block 815 rotates to below the first fixed shaft 811, it will push the counterweight 814 to rotate with it. When the counterweight 814 is pushed to the upper limit position, it will move rapidly downward under the action of gravity after passing the upper limit position. At this time, the counterweight 814 will drive the connecting rod 813 and the rotating sleeve 812 to rotate around the first fixed shaft 811 to the lower limit position and swing under the action of potential energy. During this process, the potential energy will act on the first fixed shaft 811 and then act on the roller 7 through the first fixed shaft 811, causing the roller 7 to oscillate, thereby enhancing the kneading effect on the manufactured sand.
[0136] Example 10:
[0137] like Figure 8 As shown, the inside of the grinding roller 7 is hollow, and an oscillating frame 8 is provided inside the grinding roller 7. The oscillating frame 8 includes:
[0138] The roller 7 is provided with a second fixed shaft 821, which is coaxial with the axis of the roller 7. The second fixed shaft 821 is provided with multiple guide sleeves 822. A sliding rod 823 is slidably connected inside the guide sleeve 822. The sliding rod 823 passes through the guide sleeve 822. Impact blocks 824 are provided at both ends of the sliding rod 823. The inner wall of the roller 7 is provided with multiple pads 825, and the pads 825 correspond one-to-one with the impact blocks 824.
[0139] During the rotation of the roller 7, the second fixed shaft 821, guide sleeve 822 and pad 825 will rotate, thereby driving the sliding rod 823 and impact block 824 to rotate. When the sliding rod 823 rotates to the vertical position, it can slide downward under the action of the gravity of the impact block 824 and finally hit the pad 825. The impact force generated by the impact will act on the roller 7, causing the roller 7 to vibrate, thereby enhancing the kneading effect on the manufactured sand.
[0140] In a further embodiment, such as Figure 10 As shown, in order to ensure the normal operation of oscillation in Embodiments 9 and 10, an existing bearing is provided on the outside of the rotating shaft 701, and an elastic rubber sleeve is provided between the bearing and the first turntable 601 or the second turntable 608. In order to ensure normal rotation, the roller 7 will compress the elastic rubber sleeve when it oscillates, so that the oscillation of the roller 7 will not be restricted by the first turntable 601 or the second turntable 608, thus ensuring the normal operation of oscillation.
[0141] The mica referred to in this invention includes, but is not limited to, biotite, and the screened manufactured sand includes, but is not limited to, granite manufactured sand. Granite manufactured sand should not be construed as a limitation of this application.
