Keep in mind that the best choice for a sand maker depends largely on your actual usage and budget needs. Read our full article below to find out all about the various sand making machines and how to choose the right one.

1.VSI sand making machine

Vertical shaft impact crusher ( VSI sand crusher) offer higher reduction ratios at a lower energy consumption. These impactors can be considered as a ‘stone pump’ operating like a centrifugal pump. The material is fed through the centre of the rotor, where it is accelerated to high speed before being discharged through openings in the rotor periphery. The material is crushed as it hits the liners of the outer body at high speed and also due to the rock-on-rock action. These crushers are mainly used in the production of fine materials, including sand, with a good cubical shape.

> Advantages

1.The VSI’s high cubical fracture percentage maximizes first-pass product yield and produces tighter particle size distribution.
2.It has a high-throughput capacity. Properly configured the VSI accepts highly abrasive materials.
3.It has simple operation and maintenance. You can quickly change product size by changing rotor speed or cascade ratio. Some models have reversible wear parts to reduce downtime.
4.The VSI typically has low operating costs even in high-moisture applications because of reduced energy costs and low wear cost per ton.

> Disadvantages

1.There are some feed size limitations with a VSI because of the small feed area available in the center of the rotor.
2.The high RPM and HP require careful balance maintenance such as replacing parts on both sides of the rotor at the same time.
3.High wear part cost may be a problem for some hard abrasive materials, but the VSI may still be the best option.

PC Hammer crusher

Hammer crusher is a stone crusher in which a hammer hits the material that is being crushed. In the hammer crusher, crushing takes place by impact between the hammers and breaker plates. Hammer crusher can crush medium hardness and brittle materials, such as limestone, slag, coke, coal, etc. 

> Advantages

1.The finished product size is adjustable by controlling the grate openings, rotor speed, hammer capacity, etc. 
2.Large crushing ration. Hammer crusher can crush the 600-1800mm materials to below 25 or 25 mm.
3.Its structure is simple, compact size, light body weight, easy operation and maintenance. 

> Disadvantages

1.Hammer crusher working parts (such as hammer, grate, etc.) easily broken, need to be changed frequently, therefore, we need to consume more metals and downtime.
2.The grate bars prone to clogging, especially humidity, containing clay materials, causes a significant decrease of production capacity.

PCX fine crusher

PCX Series high efficient hammer fine crusher is new type multi-functional stone crusher improved after processing on the basis of the impact crusher. It is widely used for fine crushing of various brittle materials and minerals whose compressive strength is not more than 100Mpa and surface moisture is not more than 15%, such as granite, basalt, limestone, river pebble, cement clinker, quartz stone, bauxite and so on.

> Advantages

1.Uper fine crushing: It adopts the design of grate plate and the rigid hard extrusion crushing, which makes the fine crushing efficiency greatly improved. The output size being smaller than 3mm can reach 85%, finished particle size is fine and uniform.

2.Easy maintenance: Convenient inspection and maintenance device, which make hammer adjustment and screen plate become easier.

3.Super long life: Wear-out part adopts new excellent multielement high chromium alloy which ensure abrasive resistance and shock resistance of the liner plate.

4.High efficient Energy Consumption: This series crusher possesses stable operation, low dust, low power consumption.

> Disadvantages

1. The feed particle size of the fine crusher is controlled within 190mm, and it is mostly used in the three-stage crushing (that is, sand making) link after fine crushing
2. The grain shape of the sand produced by the fine crusher is not as good as that of vsi
3. Hammers and grating bars need to be replaced regularly

DG Double roller crusher

The double-roller crusher can be used for finely crushing various high and medium hardness ores and rocks. Especially in the construction material industry to produce melon stone and mung bean paste and other products, the double roller crusher has better effect than the general crushing machinery.

> Advantages

1.The crushing particle size of the double roller crusher is between 1-20mm, and the specific discharge particle size can be realized by adjusting the gap between the two rollers.
2.With high capacities and minimum downtime, this rolling crusher is ideal for both soft and medium-hard rock crushing applications.
3.The hydraulic gap adjustment mechanism allows for consistent product size even as the roll liners wear, resulting in a more efficient and consistent crushing process.

> Disadvantages

1.The sand product shape and gradation of roll crusher are better than hammer crusher, but worse than VSI crusher.
2.It is required to feed the material evenly and continuously,, otherwise the wear of the roller will be uneven, and the sand particle size will not be uniform.
3.For the smooth roller crusher, the size of the feed block is much smaller than the diameter of the roller, so it is not suitable for crushing large materials.

PFL Compound crusher

PFL Compound crusher is also called vertical crusher because of its vertical shaft with up and down placement structure design. It could be used for fine crusher and coarse grinding process and it is one of the general equipment in sand production line and gravel production plant.

> Advantages

1. Simple and reasonable structure, low operating cost. Using the principle of rock-on-rock, the wear is small.
2. It is less affected by the moisture content of the material, and the moisture content can reach about 8%.
3. It has the functions of fine crushing and coarse grinding. It is common sand making machine.

> Disadvantages

1.When the moisture contained in the material is large, it is easy to adhere to the crushing cavity to cause blockage during the feeding and conveying process, resulting in a decrease in the sand making capacity;
2.It will be more difficult to process materials with high hardness, and the wear on the vertical shaft crusher will be more serious, resulting in slower sand making speed

Mobile sand making plant

The mobile sand making machine can be easily moved to different locations as needed for the sand making and screening work. It is easy to operate and has high output. All above sand crusher machine could be made into mobile crushing and screening plant.

Advantages

1. The mobile sand making machine is similar to a small crushed sand production line, which can complete the coarse crushing, medium crushing and fine crushing of ore materials at one time.
2. The mobile sand making machine can crush and make sand on site, which greatly reduces the transportation cost of materials;
3. Since the mobile sand making machine inherits the advantages of traditional sand making equipment, the finished machine-made sand after sand making is mostly cubic, with reasonable gradation, which can fully meet the current demand for construction sand.

Disadvantages

1.Mobile crushers may have limited capacity compared to stationary crushers, which can be a disadvantage for larger sand making plants.
2.Mobile crushers may have limited mobility on rough terrain or in tight spaces, which can limit their use in some applications.

How does a sand crusher work?

A crusher usually consists of a hopper, a feeder, and a crushing mechanism. The hopper is used to contain the rocks that enter into the crusher. The feeder pushes the rocks into the crushing mechanism where it is then broken down into smaller pieces of sand. The vibrating screen will help to get different size sand.

How to make sand for construction?

It is produced by the crushing of granite rocks. Coarse hard rock deposits are crushed in crushers and the crushed material is segregated in different fractions. The sand obtained through this process is further refined by removing fine particles and impurities through sieving and washing.

What is the sand size?

Based on the grain size of the particle, sand is classified as Fine Sand(0.075 to 0.425mm), Medium Sand(0.425 to 2mm), and Coarse Sand(2.0 mm to 4.75mm)
Based on origin, sand is classified as Pit sand, River sand, Sea sand, and manufactured sand.
