Brick Crushing Machine for Sand and Aggregate Production

Brick crushing machines are essential equipment in construction waste recycling and sand/aggregate production lines. These machines transform demolished bricks into reusable materials like coarse sand (0-5mm), fine aggregate (5-10mm), and gravel (10-31.5mm) for new construction projects.

Core Equipment Specifications

Model Feed Size(mm) Capacity(t/h) Power(kW)
JC-80 ≤400 50-80 55
JC-120 ≤600 100-150 90
JC-200 ≤800 180-250 160

Production Line Configuration

A complete brick-to-sand production line typically includes:
1. Vibrating feeder
2. Jaw crusher (primary crushing)
3. Impact crusher/cone crusher (secondary crushing)
4. Vibrating screen (material classification)
5. Sand washer (optional for higher purity)

FAQ Section

Q: What’s the output material application?
A: Produced aggregates meet ASTM C33 standards for concrete mixing, road bases, and backfill materials.

Q: How to handle metal contaminants?
A: Install magnetic separators before primary crushing to remove rebar and other metals.

Engineering Case Study

Project: Urban renewal in Manchester, UK
Situation: Processed 15,000 tons of demolition bricks
Solution:
– Deployed JC-120 jaw crusher + VS1860 vibrating screen
– Achieved 120t/h processing capacity
– Produced 0-5mm sand for local concrete batching plants

The system reduced landfill costs by 60% while creating valuable construction materials from waste.
