Sand Making Crushing Equipment Specifications
Sand making crushing equipment is essential for producing high-quality artificial sand used in construction, road building, and other industrial applications. Understanding the specifications of these machines ensures optimal performance and efficiency. Below are detailed specifications for various types of sand-making crushing equipment.
1. Vertical Shaft Impact Crusher (VSI Crusher)
The VSI crusher is widely used for shaping and fine crushing applications. Key specifications include:
- Feed Size: Up to 50mm
- Capacity: 30–600 TPH (tons per hour)
- Motor Power: 90–400 kW
- Rotor Speed: 1,500–3,000 RPM
- Material Hardness: Suitable for medium to hard rocks (e.g., granite, basalt)
- Output Shape: Cubic and well-graded particles
VSI crushers utilize a high-speed rotor to throw materials against anvils or liners, ensuring efficient sand production with minimal flakiness.
2. Hammer Crusher
Hammer crushers are ideal for soft to medium-hard materials like limestone and gypsum. Specifications include:
- Feed Size: Up to 350mm
- Capacity: 5–300 TPH
- Motor Power: 15–315 kW
- Hammer Material: High manganese steel or alloy steel for durability
- Moisture Tolerance: Works efficiently even with materials containing up to 15% moisture
These crushers use rotating hammers to impact materials, breaking them into smaller particles suitable for sand production.
3. Cone Crusher
Cone crushers are suitable for secondary or tertiary crushing stages in sand production lines:
- Feed Size: Up to 300mm
- Capacity: 45–1,200 TPH
- Motor Power: 75–630 kW
- Crushing Chamber Design: Multiple configurations (short-head, standard) for different output sizes
Cone crushers provide consistent particle size distribution and are ideal for producing high-quality manufactured sand when combined with a VSI crusher in a closed-circuit system.
4. Roller Crusher
Roller crushers crush materials between two rotating rollers:
- Feed Size: Up to 80mm
- Capacity: 2–140 TPH
- Motor Power: 5.5–75 kW per roller
They are
