This verified turnkey dry mortar plant project is delivered by Tongding Machinery, a professional manufacturer of dry mortar mixers and sand drying systems. The whole production line adopts the TDSJ4 tower-type twin-shaft paddle mixer system, paired with the TDS6215 triple cylinder rotary dryer for wet sand pretreatment, fully installed and commissioned successfully at our customer’s factory in Indonesia.
Indonesia’s booming construction market keeps raising demand for stable tile adhesive, plaster mortar and anti-crack mortar. However, the local tropical rainy climate brings a core challenge: river sand raw material contains very high moisture, which cannot be directly used for dry mortar production. After communication, site survey and formulation evaluation, our engineering team customized this integrated drying + batching + mixing + packing solution, instead of a simple standalone mixing plant. All drawings, photos shown on this page are original files of this Indonesia project, not generic stock images.
This TDSJ4 dry mortar line follows a tower layout design. Raw wet sand first enters the TDS6215 triple cylinder dryer section, then screened and conveyed to storage silos. Cement, additives and dried sand are weighed separately by the automatic batching system, lifted by bucket elevators and fed into the twin-shaft paddle mixer. After uniform mixing, finished dry mortar flows to the product hopper and is packed by automatic valve port packing machines.
The attached technical drawing shows the complete workflow, including additive weighing hopper, standby silo, pulse dust collector, screw conveyor, vibrating screen and TDSJ4+TDS6220 control cabinet. Every subsystem is matched for balanced capacity, avoiding bottlenecks between sand drying and mortar mixing. The layout is optimized according to the customer’s factory land size, foundation condition and local power supply.

The TDS6215 triple cylinder rotary dryer is the key to making this project work in Indonesia’s humid environment. Unlike single-drum dryers, its three concentric cylinder structure extends the heat exchange path, cutting river sand moisture steadily to the target range required for dry mortar. It supports diesel combustion heating, which is flexible and easy for customers without stable natural gas supply locally.
We upgraded the dryer sealing structure and added anti-corrosion treatment for all steel frames. The matched cyclone dust collector and pulse bag dust removal system control dust emission, meeting local environmental requirements. This solves the biggest pain point for many Indonesian dry mortar investors: unstable sand moisture causing inconsistent mortar quality.

Our mechanical and electrical engineers travelled to the site for full installation guidance, equipment debugging and hands-on operator training. The on-site photos show the finished production line and the group photo of our technical team together with the Indonesian customer after successful commissioning. This on-site delivery experience is a critical part of our turnkey service.
During commissioning, engineers calibrated weighing accuracy, adjusted mixer running parameters, tested packing speed and trained local workers for daily operation, routine maintenance and simple fault troubleshooting. The customer’s team mastered the whole system operation before our engineers left, so they can start mass production independently.

The TDSJ4 twin-shaft paddle mixer features automatic power-off observation door for safe inspection. The whole line runs automatically through the centralized TDSJ4+TDS6220 PLC control system. Operators can check formula parameters, production output and alarm information on the touch screen.
This tower layout saves floor space. The system can switch formulas quickly to produce tile adhesive, wall plaster, grout and anti-crack mortar. All electrical cabinets adopt moisture-proof and dust-proof design, adapted for year-round high temperature and humidity in Indonesia.
Q1: Is TDS6215 dryer suitable for wet river sand in Indonesia?
A1: Yes. The triple-pass drying structure is optimized for high-moisture river sand, and the anti-humidity modification fits Indonesia tropical rainy weather.
Q2: What mortar can the TDSJ4 dry mortar plant produce?
A2: Tile adhesive, plaster mortar, anti-crack mortar, wall putty and other common dry mix mortar products.
Q3: Can Tongding send engineers overseas for installation?
A3: Yes. We provide overseas site guidance, commissioning and training services for dry mortar plant and sand dryer projects.
