What are the different types of quartz sand-making machinery
Quartz, also known as silicite, is a widely distributed mineral with a broad range of applications. It is primarily used as raw material for producing quartz sand, as well as for manufacturing quartz refractories and producing ferrosilicon. During processing, sand-making equipment is frequently used, and there are currently many types available on the market. Specifically, what are the different types of quartz sand-making machinery?
Quartz is a mineral resource with highly stable physical and chemical properties. It is an oxide mineral belonging to the trigonal crystal system. It is colorless and transparent, though it often contains small amounts of impurities, causing it to appear translucent or opaque. It is hard in texture, with a hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale. Based on these characteristics, the most commonly used quartz sand-making machines are impact sand-making machines and fine-crushing sand-making machines. The specific choice should be made according to individual needs.
01 Impact Sand Making Machine
With an hourly output of 40–650 tons, this machine is suitable for materials smaller than 50 mm. Designed and improved based on practical conditions in sand and gravel production, it integrates various crushing modes. Through a four-port impeller design and optimized impact angles in the crushing chamber, it achieves high throughput and large output. Materials break along their natural grain planes during collisions, resulting in high-quality finished products with minimal wear. The machine is safe and reliable to operate. The upper and lower peripheral liners are reversible, and the modular discharge head allows for the replacement of only worn parts, reducing overall costs. It has a proven track record of many years of practical application.
02 Fine Crushing and Sand Making Machine
With an hourly output of 5–260 tons, this machine is suitable for materials under 100 mm. As a continuous-operation device, it simplifies the process. Crushing is achieved through impact with hammers mounted on the rotor. The use of a grate plate design and rigid, high-pressure crushing enhances fine crushing efficiency. Different particle size distributions can be obtained by adjusting the impact frame and grate plate. Additionally, with high linear velocity and rapid operation, it offers better energy savings and lower consumption compared to traditional roller crushers. It features stable and reliable operation, and the hammer heads have a long service life.
