What equipment can be used for sand making

Sand and gravel aggregate is an important raw material for the construction of buildings, roads, bridges and other infrastructure, and its quality is directly related to the quality and service life of the project. With the advancement of science and technology and the improvement of engineering requirements, the quality requirements for sand and gravel aggregates are also constantly increasing. In this context, the selection of sand making equipment is particularly important. This article will introduce several common sand making equipment and discuss their impact on the quality of sand and gravel aggregates.
 

1. Jaw crusher

Jaw crusher is a common sand making equipment that can crush raw materials to appropriate particle size. Its main features are simple structure and easy operation. However, due to the action characteristics of the jaw plate during its working process, it is easy to produce high content of flaky sand, which reduces the quality of the sand and gravel aggregate.

2. Vertical shaft impact crusher

The vertical shaft impact crusher is a commonly used sand making equipment. It drives a high-speed rotating rotor through a rotary motor to impact the raw materials and crush the raw materials into the required sand and gravel aggregates. The vertical shaft impact crusher has the advantages of high crushing efficiency and low energy consumption, but it requires high hardness and moisture content of raw materials, which can easily cause fluctuations in the quality of sand and gravel aggregates.

3. Cone Crusher

Cone crusher is a common type of sand making equipment. It uses the movement of the cone to break the raw materials into the required sand and gravel aggregates. The cone crusher has the advantages of large crushing ratio and uniform discharge particle size, and is suitable for crushing stones with medium hardness and above. However, due to its complex structure, it has higher requirements for maintenance and repair.
