India’s construction boom has driven demand for high-quality artificial sand (M-Sand) as a sustainable alternative to river sand. Leading manufacturers offer advanced vertical shaft impact (VSI) crushers and sand washing systems tailored to local geological conditions.

1. Primary Jaw Crusher: Reduces large rocks to 150-200mm feed size
2. Cone Crusher/VSI Crusher: Tertiary crushing with cubical shaping
3. Sand Washer</strong): Removes excess fines (<75μm)

| Model | Capacity (TPH) | Power (kW) | Max Feed Size (mm) |
|---|---|---|---|
| VSI-800 | 60-80 | 110 | 50 |
| VSI-1000 | 100-120 | 160 | 55 |
| Screw Washer SW-150 | 50-70 | 15 | – |
A 200TPH plant processing hard granite achieved:
– Product shape: Cubical (>95%)
– Gradation: Zone-II as per IS 383
– Fines content: <10%
Q1: What’s the production cost per ton?
A: Typically ₹300-500/ton including power and wear parts.
Q2: How to control excessive powder content?
A: Adjust crusher rotor speed + install air classifier.
Q3: Maintenance frequency?
A: Weekly lubrication, wear parts replacement every 800-1200 hours.
Modern M-Sand plants incorporate IoT monitoring for real-time production optimization, making them ideal for infrastructure projects across India.
