Modern quarrying and mining operations rely on advanced machinery to produce high-quality sand and stone aggregates efficiently. A typical crushing and sand-making production line includes primary crushers, secondary crushers, sand makers, vibrating screens, and conveyors.
1. Jaw Crusher: Primary crushing with capacity up to 1,500 tph
– Feed size: ≤1,500mm
– Discharge size: 10-350mm

2. Cone Crusher: Secondary crushing for harder materials
– Capacity: 50-1,200 tph
– Adjustable discharge: 3-60mm
3. Vertical Shaft Impact Crusher (VSI): Sand making machine
– Capacity: 60-650 tph
– Finished product: 0-5mm artificial sand
| Stage | Equipment | Output Size |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Crushing | Jaw Crusher | ≤300mm |
| Secondary Crushing | Cone Crusher | ≤40mm |
| Tertiary Crushing | VSI Crusher | 0-5mm sand |
| Screening | Vibrating Screen (3 decks) | Multiple fractions |
Q: What’s the typical lifespan of crusher wear parts?
A: Jaw plates last 3-6 months depending on material hardness; cone crusher mantles 4-8 months.

Q: How to choose between wet and dry sand production?
A: Wet processing produces cleaner sand but requires water treatment; dry method saves water but may need dust control.
