The demand for manufactured sand (M-Sand) as an alternative to river sand is rising in Tamil Nadu due to environmental regulations. A typical crushing and sand-making production line includes:
1. Primary Jaw Crusher – Processes large riverbed stones (e.g., Model: JC4430, Feed Size: ≤750mm, Capacity: 150–300 TPH).
2. Secondary Cone Crusher – Fine crushing (e.g., Model: CSH430, Output: 30–70mm, Capacity: 80–200 TPH).
3. Tertiary Impact Crusher/VSI – Produces cubical M-Sand (e.g., Model: VSI-900, Input: ≤50mm, Sand Yield: 40–60%).
4. Vibrating Screens – Multi-deck classifiers (e.g., 3YK3070, Screening Efficiency: ≥90%).
| Equipment | Model | Output Size | Capacity (TPH) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jaw Crusher | JC4430 | ≤150mm | 150–300 |
| Cone Crusher | CSH430 | ≤30mm | 80–200 |
| VSI Crusher | VSI-900 | 0–5mm (M-Sand) | 50–100 |
Q1: How to reduce silt content in M-Sand?
A: Use a washing system (e.g., spiral classifier + dewatering screen).
Q2: Power consumption for a 200 TPH line?
A: ~500 kWh, varies by rock hardness.
