Brown sand, a common construction material, requires specialized crushing equipment to achieve optimal particle size and resistance. This article explores the core machinery and production line configurations for processing brown sand into high-quality aggregates.
The typical production line includes:
1. Primary Jaw Crusher (PE-600×900)
– Feed opening: 600×900mm
– Capacity: 50-160t/h
– Motor power: 55-75kW

2. Secondary Cone Crusher (HPT300)
– Max feed size: 240mm
– Capacity: 120-400t/h
– Adjustment range: 6-38mm

3. Vertical Shaft Impact Crusher (VSI-1140)
– Throughput: 150-380t/h
– Max feed size: 50mm
– Motor power: 250kW
| Equipment | Feed Size | Output Size | Capacity |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jaw Crusher | ≤500mm | 60-140mm | 50-160t/h |
| Cone Crusher | ≤240mm | 6-38mm | 120-400t/h |
| VSI Crusher | ≤50mm | 0-5mm (sand) | 150-380t/h |
Q1: What’s the ideal moisture content for brown sand crushing?
A: Optimal moisture should be below 3% to prevent clogging.
Q2: How to improve the crushing resistance of final products?
A: Proper gradation control and VSI shaping are critical.
Q3: What’s the typical lifespan of wear parts?
A: Jaw plates last ~6 months, cone mantles ~4 months under normal
