Superior Equipment Designed for Frac Sand Plants

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, said Superior Silica Sand.

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 its largest manufacturing operation.

Frac sand producers visited Superior facilities and by the middle part of 2010, Superior supplied more than 75% of the conveyors used in frac sand mining.

The company offers the TeleStacker Conveyor, Trailblazer Conveyor, In-Plant Conveyors and other processing equipment for frac sand production.
