How to get good quality sand in sandstone crushing plant

Nowadays artificial sand is widely used in highway construction, concrete making, and relevant construction fields. Due to the gradual shortage of natural sand resources and the booming construction industry, machine-made artificial sand becomes even more popular in the market. Various types of rocks can be processed into sand including granite, natural river pebbles, basalt, and limestone etc.

How to get good quality sand?

It needs to 3 stage crushing stage and extra sand washing process. Here is the normall processing plant instruction.

1.The raw material is fed regularly by the vibrating feeder to the primary jaw crusher and secondary jaw/cone/impact crusher for crushing.
2.The crushed material is then transported by a belt conveyor to the vibrating screen for sieving.
3.After sieving, proper sizes (＜30mm or ＜40mm) would be transported to the sand making machine directly, while the oversized material will be returned to the secondary crusher for reprocessing.

4.The crushed material from the sand making machine will be transported to another or the same vibrating screen for sieving again.
5.The sand which meet fineness requirement can be transported to a sand washing machine for cleaning, and then be retained as final products.
6.Oversized material will be returned to the sand making machine and screen for repeated crushing & sieving until all the materials are turned into sand.

7. To get high quality sand, the sand washing machine is necessary. It is used to remove the dirt and impurities in sand for sand washing, classifying and grading to meet the standard.

People also frequently asked for - FAQ

1. What is the best crusher for sandstone?

Jaw crushers are commonly used for primary crushing and are well-suited for processing various types of sandstone. They exert a compressive force on the material, breaking it down into smaller pieces. Jaw crushers are versatile and can handle both soft and hard sandstones. And VSI sand crusher is sued to get fine from sandstone too.

2. How does the VSI work?

The high-speed rotor throws the material to the impact plate in the crushing chamber. The material not only collides violently with the impact plate, but also collides and breaks with the material. Then the material bounces from the counter liner back to the blow hammer and breaks again.

3. What is a sand plant?

A sand treatment plant is a mechanism for filtering impurities that consists of a sand tank through which water circulates. The sand acts as a natural filtering agent, capturing any impurities in the water to purify it and ensure its quality.
