For industries requiring high-quality aggregates, a well-designed crushing and sand-making production line is essential. Augusta, GA, hosts several suppliers offering robust equipment for processing materials like lava rock into graded sand and stone aggregates.
A typical production line includes:
1. Primary Jaw Crusher: Breaks large rocks (e.g., lava rock) into 150–300mm pieces. Example model: PE-600×900 (Feed opening: 600x900mm, Capacity: 50–160t/h).
2. Secondary Cone Crusher: Further crushes material to 20–50mm. Model example: CS160 (Max feed size: 178mm, Output: 36–163t/h).
3. Sand Maker (VSI Crusher): Produces 0–5mm sand with high cubicity. Model: VSI1140 (Throughput: 70–585t/h, Power: 180–250kW).

| Equipment | Model | Capacity (t/h) | Power (kW) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jaw Crusher | PE-600×900 | 50–160 | 75 |
| Cone Crusher | CS160 | 36–163 | 160 |
| Sand Maker | VSI1140 | 70–585 | 250 |

Screens (e.g., 3YK2160 vibrating screen) separate aggregates into sizes (0–5mm, 5–10mm, etc.), while belt conveyors (B800×20m) transport materials between stages.
The final products—crushed stone and manufactured sand—are used in concrete, asphalt, and landscaping projects across Augusta’s construction sector.
