Frac Sand Industry
Frac Sand Conveying and Washing Equipment
Silica sand was historically used and consistently produced for golf courses, glassmakers and some industrial consumers. Then, in about 2010, demand dramatically increased as oil and gas producers discovered the durable, crush-resistant material. Overnight, frac sand production became the new gold rush!
Headquartered in Western Minnesota, Superior Industries was well-positioned to benefit. During the early days of the market’s expansion, a majority of frac sand came from the Upper Midwest…just hours from our largest manufacturing operation.
Frac sand producing pioneers visited our facilities, we brainstormed how to fulfill their needs and grew together. By the middle part of 2010, Superior supplied more than 75% of the conveyors used in frac sand mining.

SUMMARY
Before adding a TeleStacker Conveyor, Hi-Crush was challenged with having little space to stockpile and easily moving to a new stockpile location. Now, the company can easily transition to a new area for stockpiling and finds that they move their conveyor at least three times a week.
