A rock sand making machine, also known as a vertical shaft impact (VSI) crusher, is specialized equipment designed to crush hard rocks (e.g., granite, basalt) into artificially manufactured sand with precise particle sizes. It is widely used in construction, highways, and concrete production to replace natural sand.
Common models include:
Rotor-Centric VSI Crushers: High-speed rotor design for fine crushing (e.g., 200-500 t/h capacity).
Centrifugal Crushers: Utilize centrifugal force to shape sand particles (e.g., 100-300 t/h capacity).
Mobile Sand Making Plants: Portable units for on-site processing (e.g., 50-200 t/h capacity).
High Efficiency: Optimized crushing cavity design ensures 30-50% higher output than conventional crushers.
Adjustable Particle Size: Output sand fineness modulus (2.6-3.0) can be customized via rotor speed adjustments.
Low Wear: Tungsten carbide or ceramic wear-resistant parts extend service life by 40%.
Energy Saving: Hydraulic or electric drive systems reduce power consumption by 15-20%.
It processes hard rocks (granite, basalt, river pebbles), limestone, iron ore, and construction waste (concrete chunks, bricks). Moisture content should be <5% to prevent clogging.
Rocks enter the high-speed rotating rotor through the feed hopper and are accelerated to 60-80 m/s. They collide with the surrounding anvil ring or rock-lined chamber, achieving “rock-on-rock” or “rock-on-iron” crushing. Shaped sand particles are screened via a vibrating screen to meet size standards.
Pre-Operation Inspection: Check wear parts (rotor, anvil) and lubrication system every 8 hours.
Feed Control: Avoid over-size rocks (>5cm) or metal impurities to prevent rotor imbalance.
Dust Management: Use water spray or dust covers in dry environments to maintain air quality.
Maintenance: Replace wear parts in batches every 500-800 hours of operation.
Customized Solutions: Offer free material testing and model matching based on site conditions.
Quality Assurance: Machines comply with ISO 9001 standards with a 12-month warranty.
After-Sales Support: Provide 24/7 technical guidance and spare parts global shipping.
Cost-Effectiveness: Direct-factory pricing with 15% lower market rates and energy-efficient designs.
