Mobile Sand Making Machine VSI1140 Shipping To Africa

The VSI1140 mobile sand-making machine (vertical shaft impact crusher) is a versatile solution for producing high-quality manufactured sand in quarries, mining, and infrastructure projects. Shipping this heavy equipment to Africa requires careful planning to ensure cost-effectiveness, compliance, and timely delivery. Below, we outline the key steps and considerations for transporting the VSI1140 to African destinations.

1. Pre-Shipping Preparation

Machine Specifications

Model: mobile VSI sand crusher VSI1140
Weight: ~35–40 tons (varies with configuration)
Dimensions: ~15m (L) x 3m (W) x 4.5m (H) (transport mode)
Power: Electric or diesel-engine driven (confirm voltage compatibility for African grids).

Documentation Requirements

Commercial invoice and packing list.
Bill of Lading (B/L)
Certificate of Origin
CE/ISO certifications (for customs clearance).
Import permits and tax/duty calculations (specific to the African country).

2. Shipping Methods

By Sea (Most Cost-Effective)
Container Shipping: Disassemble the machine into modules (e.g., feeder, crusher, conveyor) to fit 40ft HQ containers.
RoRo (Roll-on/Roll-off): Suitable if the sand making machine VSI1140 is self-propelled or towable.
Breakbulk Cargo: For oversized components, ship via bulk carriers with proper lashing.

3. Cost Estimates

Sea Freight: 4,000–8,000 (Asia/Africa route, depending on port).
Insurance: 1–2% of cargo value.
Import Duties: 5–20% of machine value (varies by country; e.g., South Africa: 0% for certain mining equipment).
Inland Transportation: 1,500–5,000 (depends on distance from port to site).

4. Post-Shipping Support

Assembly & Commissioning: Deploy technicians for on-site setup and operator training.
Spare Parts Strategy: Stock critical wear parts (e.g., rotor tips, bearings) locally to minimize downtime.
Local Compliance: Ensure the VSI1140 meets environmental and safety standards (e.g., dust suppression systems for arid regions).

5. Why Choose the VSI1140 for African Projects?

Mobility: Wheel-mounted design adapts to remote or temporary sites easily.
High Output: Produces up to 200 t/h of cubicle-shaped sand for concrete and asphalt.
Fuel Efficiency: Diesel-electric hybrid options reduce operating costs in fuel-scarce regions.
