With increasing demand for high-quality washed M-Sand and P-Sand in the Bundelkhand region, producers are under pressure to upgrade their technology and meet evolving construction norms. Jai Shri Sankat Mochan Stone Mill, under the direction of Mr. Pintu Singh, is one such forward-looking enterprise in Chitrakoot, Madhya Pradesh. To improve the quality, cleanliness, and consistency of their sand output, the company invested in Taurian’s TWS200B—a robust, high-capacity double cyclone washing system from the Cyclowash series.

Geological Setting – Riverbed and Crushed Sand Sources in Chitrakoot

Chitrakoot’s surroundings include abundant deposits of riverbed fines and weathered granite-based stone, ideal for producing construction-grade sand. However, high levels of silt, ultra-fines, and clay impurities often compromise the final product, making advanced washing mandatory to meet IS specifications.

The Challenge

Before upgrading, Jai Shri Sankat Mochan Stone Mill relied on traditional washing methods with low recovery efficiency and no effective control over silt content. Their product often failed to meet RMC plant and contractor requirements, especially for P-Sand. Manual sand handling, excessive moisture, and rising water consumption made operations inefficient and less competitive. Mr. Singh needed a compact, high-throughput system that could provide clean, low-moisture sand at scale.

The Solution

Taurian TWS200B Cyclowash with bucket wheel

After a detailed process study and site inspection, Taurian installed the TWS200B, a dual cyclone-based washing unit engineered for high-volume producers looking to control fines, reduce moisture, and improve sand quality.

Key Features:

  • Dual Cyclone Classification: Efficient removal of ultra-fines (sub-75 micron), delivering superior sand grading.

  • High-Capacity Design: Capable of washing up to 150–200 TPH feed, ideal for medium- to large-scale sand operations.

  • Integrated Dewatering Screen: Provides ready-to-stack sand with moisture levels as low as 8–10%.

  • Water-Efficient Operation: Designed for closed-loop water systems, reducing environmental impact and water cost.

Results and Impact

Following installation, Mr. Pintu Singh reported a 60% improvement in product quality, with M-Sand and P-Sand now fully compliant with IS:383 and IS:1542 standards. Moisture control enabled faster loading and dispatch, while the clean, consistently graded sand attracted repeat orders from local infrastructure firms and government contractors.

Reduced rehandling, minimal sludge generation, and consistent performance in varying feed conditions helped Jai Shri Sankat Mochan Stone Mill double their production without increasing workforce or energy input.
