The purchase of a new CDE M2500 sand washing plant has given Wood Mulching Industries in Queensland another string to add to its bow.

Now, as well as offering a large range of high quality landscaping, horticultural and civil works products, the company can offer high grade washed sand.

“We have been considering adding sand washing to our repertoire for a number of years but always found the plants in the market exceeded our budget,” said John North, owner and founder of Wood Mulching Industries.

“After a number of discussions with Wayne Stafford about Minroc’s new affordable portable sand washing plant from CDE, we decided that this was an avenue we wanted to pursue.

“We took a trip to Western Australia to see one of the systems in operation and based on that we have now purchased the M2500 and added sand washing as a product to our growing range.

“One of the features we really like about the M2500 is that it is portable and we are able to break it down and move it around our land, which is perfect for how we operate.”

The company now creates a coarser sand perfect for masonry and the M2500 also makes concrete sand.

Since the plant has been operating, it has produced approximately 80 tonnes of washed sand per hour.
