Ceramic Proppants

What are Ceramic proppants? Ceramic proppants are engineered materials used in fracking to keep rock formations open in order to enable the extraction of oil and natural gas. They are manufacturing from high quality Kaolin Clay and bauxite and are pressed into very spherical particles. Sieving Ceramic proppants can be a difficult process due to the extreme abrasiveness of the material and the wide range of particle sizes in the feed powder. That combined with the varying densities of the feed and the strict particle size requirement mean that the sieving process needs to be precise in order to obtain the desired particle sizes.

Contract Manufacturing Experience

Sieving ceramic proppants is a process that Elcan has mastered using multiple different approaches. The high energy spectrum of the Hi-Sifter has proved to allow for very fine separations of the powder while effectively removing undersized particles without sacrificing rates. The Unique tumbler screening motion can also be employed when doing coarser separations in order to maintain the precise particle size parameters required. The tumbler screener employs a 3D motion that can also accurately control the irregular shape of the particles by manipulating which particles are able to pass through the screen depending on their dimension.
