What machines to prepare to set up a sandstone factory?

Purchasing sandstone plant equipment is main budget of the sandstone plant.  Before purchasing, it is necessary to fully understand the raw stone hardness, material feeding size,capacity, the required final fineness specifications. Due to the different raw material and finished product requirements of the production line, the sandstone plant equipment combination is very flexible.

The equipment required for the sand and gravel production line includes feeder, jaw crusher, hammer crusher, impact crusher, cone crusher, VSI sand making machine, vibrating screen, etc.

1. Vibrating feeder

Commonly used feeders include vibrating feeders, which are mainly used for continuous and uniform feeding before the coarse crusher. The vibrating feeders produced by Shuangjin have multiple models according to different sizes, with the advantages of stable vibration, no impact phenomenon, low noise, and low energy consumption.

2. Jaw crusher

Jaw crusher is suitable for coarse crushing of large pieces of hard materials. The advantages are simple structure, reliable operation, low operating cost, large crushing capacity, high output, and a large adjustment range of the discharge port, which can meet the requirements of different users. However, many jaw crushers produced by crusher manufacturers have disadvantages such as easy wear of liner plates, uneven particle size of crushed products, and the need to configure feeding equipment.

3. Hammer crusher

Hammer crusher often does one-stage crushing, and the biggest advantage is simple process. The disadvantage is that the yield rate of large aggregates after hammer crushing is low, it is easy to be over-crushed, there are many powdery materials, the finished aggregates will produce micro cracks, the compressive strength is reduced, and the quality of aggregates is affected.

4. Impact crusher

The impact crusher is a new type of high-efficiency crushing equipment, which is characterized by small size, simple structure, large crushing ratio, low energy consumption, large production capacity, and uniform product particle size. The biggest disadvantage of the impact crusher is that the plate hammer and the impact plate are easy to wear, especially when crushing hard ores, the wear is more serious, and they need to be replaced frequently.

5. Cone crusher

Cone crusher is the most commonly used crushing equipment for secondary crushing. It is suitable for crushing ores and rocks of various hardness and materials. It is often divided into coarse crushing, medium crushing and fine crushing. The main advantages are large crushing force, low energy consumption and durability. However, the price of cone crusher equipment is relatively high, and the product particle type is mostly needle-shaped.

6. VSI sand making machine

The conical sand making machine produced by Shuangjin is also called dry sand making machine or superfine crusher. It has the dual functions of sand making and shaping. It uses the principle of stone grinding to easily achieve sand making. It has the advantages of wide application range, long life, energy saving and power saving, but it is not suitable for wet sand making.

7. Vibrating screen

Vibrating screens are generally divided into circular vibrating screens, linear vibrating screens, and double-axis vibrating screens. Each type of screening equipment has a different scope of application, but all have the advantages of large processing capacity, high screening efficiency, anti-sticking and anti-blocking.

The following are three commonly used equipment configuration schemes:

Option1:  Feeder+Jaw crusher+Impact crusher+Sand making machine+Vibrating screen

It is suitable for sandstone factories with medium and low hardness materials. Its advantages are high yield and good grain size.

Option2: Feeder+Jaw crusher+Cone crusher+Sand making machine+Vibrating screen

It is suitable for the sandstone factories where the raw material is extra hard or (such as granite, river pebble, silica, etc.).It is characterized by high output, small equipment wear and more durability.

Option3: Feeder+Hammer crusher+Impact crusher+Sand making machine+Vibrating screen

It is suitable for sandstone factories with medium and low hardness (limestone, bluestone, dolomite), etc. It has a simple technological process, small footprint and low cost.

In summary, the budget for investing in sand and gravel plants is very diverse, and the key step is to be able to design a reasonable equipment configuration plan to reduce the project's mid-term and post-budget budgets.If you have any ideas in this regard, you can leave a message for consultation, so that Baichy can give reasonable suggestions based on your specific situation.

People Also Frequently Asked For - FAQ

What is the crushing and screening process?

Crushers can be used to reduce the size of raw materials such as rocks, ore, and coal, as well as recycled materials like concrete and asphalt. Screening, on the other hand, involves separating materials into different sizes or grades based on their particle size.

How does a crusher screen work?

Screens usually have one or more heavy-duty metal screens with steel “wirecloth” that runs in both vertical and horizontal directions, creating a pre-determined gap between the wirecloth strands – such as ½”, 3/8”, ¼”. That is shaken to create movement and separation of the material.

What is an aggregate plant?

An aggregate plant is a facility that processes and produces a variety of materials used in construction, including crushed stone, sand, and gravel. These materials are used to make concrete, asphalt, and other building materials. aggregate plant.
