A dry-mix mortar plant equipped with a dryer is a comprehensive production line that integrates sand drying, raw material proportioning, mixing, screening, packaging, and dust collection. As a professional manufacturer, Tongding Machinery provides customized dry-mix mortar plants—complete with drying systems—to building material factories of all sizes worldwide.
Sand is the primary raw material for dry-mix mortar. If the moisture content of the sand is too high, it can lead to uneven mixing, material clumping, inconsistent mortar strength, and even blockages in the packaging equipment. Dry-mix mortar plants equipped with an integrated drying system can perform the sand-drying process directly within the production line.
1. It saves factory floor space and reduces the transportation costs associated with dry sand.
2. Utilizing a three-pass rotary dryer, the final moisture content of the sand can be consistently maintained below 0.5%.
3. It enables a fully enclosed, continuous production process, resulting in lower dust emissions and superior environmental performance.
4. A “turnkey” delivery solution is provided, shortening the installation timeline for new mortar production facilities.
The complete dry mortar production line is matched with a dedicated drying system, the main modules include:
1.Sand feeding & conveying system
2.Triple-pass sand dryer and combustion system
3.Vibrating sand screen
4.Silo storage, automatic weighing and batching system
5.High-efficiency mortar mixer
6.Additive micro-feeding device
7.Automatic packing machine
8.Pulse dust collector and PLC control cabinet
All units are matched and optimized by our engineers to keep the whole dry mortar mixing plant with dryer running synchronously.

Damp river sand or manufactured sand is fed into a three-cylinder dryer via conveying equipment. Inside the dryer, the sand comes into full contact with hot air, facilitating heat exchange and evaporating excess moisture. Once dried, the sand is screened and then transported to a storage silo, ready for use in subsequent batching processes.
This drying system shares a central dust collection system with the dry-mix mortar plant, eliminating the need for a separate, independent dust collection unit.

This dry mortar mixing plant with dryer can produce many kinds of dry mortar products:
1.Tile adhesive and grout
2.Interior & exterior wall plaster mortar
3.Masonry mortar
4.Wall putty / skim coat
5.Self-leveling mortar
6.Thermal insulation mortar

2.Tower-type production lines: Capacity of 20–120 tons/hour; designed for high-volume, large-scale production.
3.Multiple heat source options: Natural gas, diesel, coal, biomass, or electric heating.
4.Optional features: Automated palletizing, bulk loading systems, and remote monitoring.


Q1: Is Tongding Machinery a manufacturer or trading company?
A: We are a direct manufacturer, not a dealer. We produce dryers, mixers and silos in our own workshop with strict pre-delivery testing. We supply free layout design, factory-direct pricing, overseas installation & training, and long-term original spare parts.
Q2: Can the dryer process river sand and manufactured sand?
A: Yes. The triple-pass dryer works for river sand, manufactured sand and quartz sand, drying sand steadily to moisture ≤0.5%.
Q3: Can you customize the production line capacity?
A: Yes. We offer 5–120 t/h customized lines, matching dryer and mixer capacity based on your demand.
Q4: What heat sources are available for the sand dryer?
A: Natural gas, diesel, biomass, coal and electric heating. We will suggest the most economical option for your area.
Q5: Do you provide turnkey service?
A: Yes. We provide full service from design, production, shipment, installation guidance to commissioning and after-sales support.
