Sunstate Sands is proud to announce we are now under new ownership!

De Gunst Transport, a well-respected, locally owned Bundaberg family business, has acquired Sunstate Sands, marking a new and exciting era for our operations. De Gunst Transport has been a trusted supplier of Sunstate Sands for more than a decade and recognised the strong potential of the business, leading to the acquisition by the new owners.

The De Gunst family plan to invest heavily in new equipment and advanced technology and have already expanded our tanker fleet to take Sunstate Sands to the next level in the rapidly growing industrial sands market. Their commitment ensures we continue to deliver the high-quality products our customers rely on, with even greater capability and efficiency.

Importantly, the familiar names you know - Darren, Matt, Jason, Marc, Aaron and Steve - are still here and still leading the way and serving your needs. Our core team remains unchanged and continues to drive the same strong service, expertise and reliability Sunstate Sands is known for.

We’re excited for what’s ahead and look forward to continuing to support our customers across Australia and around the world.

Letting gravity do the work! These are spiral separators at Sunstate Sands, designed to remove heavy minerals from our silica sand using centrifugal force.

As the material flows through the spiral, denser particles cling to the inner edge while lighter silica sand moves to the outer edge. At the base, the two are separated, leaving behind a cleaner, whiter product. The dark heavy minerals are effectively removed, improving both purity and appearance.

It's a simple but powerful step in producing high-grade silica sand.

Trains are built for power, but did you know they rely on sand for traction? While train wheels have flanges to stay on the tracks, they still need grip when accelerating and braking, especially in wet or slippery conditions.

A locomotive may generate 64,000 pounds of thrust, but if the wheels slip, all that power is wasted. That's where traction sand comes in! How does it work? In front of each wheel, a nozzle sprays a fine layer of high-silica traction sand, stored in onboard tanks. This increases friction, helping the wheels grip the rails effectively.

At Sunstate Sands, our high-purity Railway Traction Sand is specifically engineered for the rail industry. Thanks to its hardness and silica content, it provides unmatched traction reliability.

We deliver it in pressurised tankers, ensuring easy and efficient transfer into rail silos. 10kg and 20kg bags are also available for the convenience of customers who don’t have silos.

At Sunstate Sands, we're excited to be running trials to further refine our high-grade silica sand. Using the latest spirals from CDE Group, this process is focused on removing even more heavy refractory minerals, with the aim of reducing our Fe2O3 content to under 100 ppm.

This critical improvement will allow us to move forward into the solar glass and renewables market, where ultra-pure silica sand is essential. Our team is committed to pushing the boundaries of purity and efficiency in the industry, setting new standards to support sustainable energy solutions.

The Sunstate Sands Dried Silica Sand from our Coonarr mine stands out for its ability to deliver material ranging from below 250 microns to 5mm in size. After initial separation in our purpose-built wet plant, the sand is fed into our dry plant, where a Fluid-Bed Dryer removes all moisture. This process allows us to accurately sort the sand particles by size using large flat deck screens.

We offer all sand sizes in dried and packaged formats, with options including bulk delivery via pneumatic tankers, 1.5 and 1-tonne bulk bags, and even 20kg bags.
