P.W. Gillibrand - Raptor Filter Sand
Raptor Filter Sand, previously known as Colorado Silica Sand, is a crucial component in well drilling and filtration industries. The Colorado Silica trademark had set the standard for filter sands due to its high quality and cleanliness but the name was often misunderstood in the current industry context. Since acquiring the Brady, TX plant in April 2019, significant operational improvements have been made to enhance product quality, consistency, and efficiency. These improvements have resulted in higher capacities and shorter lead times. The Raptor Filter Sand series, available from our Brady, TX and Bakersfield, CA locations, meets the industry's demands for reliability and performance. This product is part of our expanded suite of well and filtration solutions, representing our commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction in delivering top-notch sand and gravel products.Colorado Silica has held a legacy trademark in the industry for decades, and has been the status quo for filter sands due to its supreme quality and cleanliness. However, we have found the trademark name does not hold relevance as it once did for past owners and is often misunderstood and misinterpreted in today’s industry.
Since acquiring the Brady, TX plant in April 2019, we've made substantial changes in operations to accommodate the well drilling and filtration industries. The capital improvements to the plant have created a cleaner and more consistent product, which is what the industry has grown to respect from sand and gravel suppliers. We have also invested in improvements to create added efficiencies which have dramatically increased capacities and decreased lead times for all of our products.
