redneck dryer

I wanted to sandblast a few things, I have a couple tons of sand that's old and wet. The trusty old mixer and a ready heater seems to be doing what I need in good order. Yeah it's a tad crude....but it works pretty good. It gets 3 gallons of diesel per 500 lbs

That reminds me of a couple of clean up jobs my son in law worked after Katrina.
Large warehouses that got flooded during the storm.

One had a ship load of garnet sand in it.
They spent months spreading out the sand little by little on the floor of the warehouse; turning it with front end loaders; and running huge fans; trying to dry the sand enough it could be bagged and sold.

The other warehouse was full of fibc bags that had the absorbent gel material they put in baby diapers.
You have never seen such a mess to clean up.
