Crushing and Sand-Making Production Line Process

The grinding machine plays a critical role in modern aggregate processing, transforming raw materials into high-quality sand and gravel for construction. A typical production line includes primary crushing, secondary crushing, screening, sand-making, and washing stages.

Key Equipment in the Production Line

1. Jaw Crusher: Primary crushing with a feed size up to 1500mm and output of 50-800TPH.
2. Cone Crusher: Secondary crushing with adjustable discharge size (3-60mm) and capacity up to 1000TPH.
3. Vertical Shaft Impact Crusher (VSI): Core sand-making equipment producing cubic-shaped aggregates with 5mm fineness modulus.

Equipment Power (kW) Max Feed Size (mm) Capacity (TPH)
Jaw Crusher PE1200×1500 160-220 1020 400-800
Cone Crusher HPT300 315 240 200-500
VSI-1140 Sand Maker 250×2 50 200-380

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How to choose between wet and dry sand-making processes?
A: Wet process suits areas with sufficient water supply and requires less dust control. Dry process is preferred in arid regions but needs additional dust collectors.

Q: What’s the typical lifespan of wear parts?
A: VSI rotor tips last 60-120 hours depending on material hardness, while jaw plates typically work for 200-400 hours.
