Sand Making Machine

What is a sand making machine?

A sand making machine, also known as a vertical shaft impact crusher, is a type of equipment used to crush or shape rocks into sand particles. Its main purpose is to produce well-shaped sand products that can be used as a substitute for natural sand.

Production Process Of Sand Processing Plant

The sand making product line follows a systematic process. Here’s a clear and structured breakdown of the steps involved:

• Stone Crushing: Large stone pieces stored in the silo are fed into the jaw crusher by a vibrating feeder for coarse crushing. The crushed materials are then conveyed by a belt conveyor to a cone crusher or impact crusher for further crushing.
• Screening: The belt conveyor transports the crushed materials to a vibrating screen for screening. The vibrating screen separates the finished sands (materials above the sieve) from the oversized particles (materials under the sieve).
• Sand Washing: The finished sands are carried by a belt conveyor to a sand washing machine for washing and removing impurities. After washing, the cleaned sands are sent to the finished product stack with the help of a belt conveyor.
• Fine Crushing: The oversized particles (materials under the sieve) are conveyed by the belt conveyor to a vertical mobile impact crusher (artificial sand making machine for sale) for fine crushing. The finely crushed stones are then sent back to the vibrating screen for another round of screening.

This process forms a closed loop where the materials go through repeated crushing and screening stages until they meet the desired size and quality requirements. The rock crusher equipment continues until the desired amount of sand is produced. By following this structured sand processing line, sand manufacturing machines efficiently crush, screen, wash, and refine raw materials to produce high-quality sand products. Let’s take a look at a real case.

Types of sand making machine

VSI Sand Making Machine

PCL Sand Making Machine

Mobile Sand Making Machine

VSI series sand making machine

VSI sand making machine is a common gravel-making machine in the market. VSI sand maker has a deep cavity rotor design with a large passing capacity. Compared with traditional sand making

Maximum feed size:Hard material <45 mm, soft material <50 mm

Capacity (feed at center):40–365 t/h

Capacity (feed at center and sides):80–650 t/h

Motor power:4P 500 kW

PCL series sand making machine

PCL sand making machine is the latest equipment with two functions of sand making and shaping. The finished product is uniform, with a beautiful size and better grain shape. It adopts the best design of the material impact angle of the crushing chamber.

Maximum feed size:Hard material <50 mm, soft material <55 mm

Sand shaping capacity:50–498 t/h

Sand making capacity:90–585 t/h

Motor power:2×315 kW

Mobile sand making machine

Both PCL and VSI sand making machines can be equipped with mobile crushing stations. The mobile sand making machine can be driven to the site to start sand making and screening work directly. It not only effectively improves work efficiency, but also facilitates user operation.

Production capacity:40-650 t/h

Equipped with machines:Feeder, sand making machine, vibrating screen, conveyor, etc.

It can be composed of tire-type and crawler-type sand making machines to meet the needs of various coarse, medium, and fine sand production plants.

How does a sand making machine work?

The material falls vertically into the high-speed rotating impeller from the upper part of the machine. Under the action of high-speed centrifugal force, it will collide with another part of the material shunted around the impeller in the form of an umbrella. The material forms a vortex between the casings, collides and rubs each other many times, is crushed, and is directly discharged from the lower part to form a closed circuit for multiple cycles. After being controlled by the screening equipment, the finished product reaches the required particle size.

The sand-making machine is composed of seven parts: a feeding hopper, a distributor, a vortex crushing chamber, an impeller body, a main shaft assembly, a base, a transmission device, and a motor.
