How is the sand produced by sand-making machines? Which type of sand-making machine is best?
Sand-making machines serve as the final crushing stage in sand and gravel processing, typically preceded by cone crushers or impact crushers. Sand makers are predominantly employed for the fine crushing and shaping of sand, producing manufactured sand. Consequently, they differ significantly from conventional crushers. When comparing this manufactured sand to natural sand, questions arise: Is its quality satisfactory? Is it suitable for standard applications? Crucially, can it be sold? Is it marketable? Which sand maker produces superior sand? These are common concerns among investors. Below, we provide a detailed analysis:
What are the advantages of sand produced by sand makers?
1. Composition: Raw materials for sand production are deliberately selected, ensuring uniform texture and pure composition. Mineral and chemical constituents are consistent, unlike the complexity found in natural sand.
2. Fineness modulus: Natural sand typically possesses only one fineness modulus, whereas manufactured sand's modulus is controllable. It can be adjusted during processing to meet specific requirements—a capability unattainable with natural sand.
3. Bonding and compressive strength: Mechanically produced sand particles typically exhibit rounded shapes. This facilitates superior bonding in concrete structures, resulting in enhanced compressive strength performance and extended service life.
4. Stone Powder Content: A significant distinction from river sand is the higher stone powder content in manufactured aggregates. However, research indicates that powder levels below 20% pose no adverse effects on concrete setting times or strength.
We recommend OCP Heavy Industry's impact sand-making machine. This unit facilitates dust extraction when paired with a dust collection system, with the entire production line operating in a near-enclosed environment. This design meets stringent contemporary environmental requirements. Furthermore, it offers the following performance advantages:
1. Low Cost: Constructed from premium materials, the robust and durable equipment features superior craftsmanship with rational, secure component connections ensuring smooth operation. Wear-prone parts like the discharge head utilise high-abrasion-resistant materials for extended service life, reducing replacement frequency and daily operational costs;
2. Eco-friendly and low-noise: Sealed structural design coupled with multi-effect dust removal equipment eliminates operational disruptions caused by dust and noise, creating a green sand-making environment;
3. High efficiency and flexibility: Central and peripheral feeding modes allow flexible adjustment, ensuring efficient crushing and convenient conversion;
4. Superior Grain Shape: Employing stone-on-stone and stone-on-iron principles, it achieves both sand production and shaping effects, yielding well-formed, high-quality particles.
5. Convenient Maintenance: Optional suspended manual or electric hoists facilitate swift lifting of components such as the machine cover, feed hopper, distributor, rotor, and main shaft during servicing and maintenance.
6. Intelligent monitoring with enhanced safety: Optional configurations include a thin-oil lubrication system and PLC-based automatic control and monitoring system, enabling real-time surveillance of feed rate, current, oil temperature, main shaft temperature, and vibration protection functions.
