The faux stone manufacturing process involves crushing, shaping, and surface treatment to mimic natural stone. A typical production line includes jaw crushers, impact crushers, vibrating screens, and sand makers. The raw materials (e.g., limestone, granite) are crushed into smaller particles, then shaped and polished to achieve the desired texture.
1. Primary Jaw Crusher: Processes large rocks (<500mm) into 50–100mm pieces.
– Power: 30–160 kW
– Capacity: 50–800 t/h
2. Impact Crusher: Fine-crushing stage for 20–50mm output.
– Rotor Speed: 800–1200 rpm
– Capacity: 70–400 t/h
3. Sand Maker (VSI Crusher): Produces 0–5mm artificial sand.
– Max Feed Size: 50mm
– Capacity: 60–520 t/h
4. Vibrating Screen: Separates particles by size (e.g., 3–5 layers).
| Equipment | Feed Size (mm) | Output Size (mm) | Power (kW) | Capacity (t/h) |
|——————–|—————-|——————|————|—————-|
| Jaw Crusher | ≤500 | 50–100 | 30–160 | 50–800 |
| Impact Crusher | ≤300 | 20–50 | 55–400 | 70–400 |
| VSI Sand Maker | ≤50 | 0–5 | 90–400 | 60–520 |
Q1: What’s the lifespan of crusher wear parts?
A1: Manganese steel liners last ~200 hours for abrasive materials like granite.
Q2: How to reduce dust in production?
A2: Install water spray systems or bag filters at transfer points.
Project: A faux stone plant in Texas processed limestone into decorative tiles.
