What are the functions of sand making machines and cone breakers used in sand factories?

The cone crusher and sand making machine are the main crushing equipment in the sand and gravel production line, commonly used in the second and third stage crushing stages, and undertake the function of medium and fine crushing.



There are different series of cone crushers, including single cylinder hydraulic cone crushers, multi cylinder hydraulic cone crushers, and spring cone crushers. Compared to spring systems, the cone crushers of hydraulic systems are further improved in terms of yield increase, particle shape improvement, and convenient operation and maintenance. Currently, their application in sand and gravel production lines is becoming increasingly common.

Different from the soft rock crushing applied to the counterattack crushing, the cone crushing is mainly applied to the crushing of granite, basalt, Tuff, river pebble and other hard stones, as well as the crushing of iron ore, copper ore, gold ore and other metal ores. When making production line configuration plans, we need to select appropriate secondary crushing equipment based on the hardness of the raw materials to avoid severe machine wear, jamming, collapse, and other situations caused by hard raw materials in later production, which will affect the smooth progress of production.



Sand making machines, also known as sand making machines, have different types such as vertical axis impact crushers and roller crushers. Among them, the vertical axis impact crusher is currently a commonly used sand making equipment in sand and gravel production lines. It adopts the principles of "stone to stone" and "stone to iron", which can be used as both stone shaping equipment and sand making equipment. It is usually used to further break the stones into machine made sand after cone breaking or counter breaking.



Compared with sand making equipment such as roller crushing, impact crushing has strong crushing ability and can handle various hard stones. The finished sand particle shape is round and full, with good grading, making it a sand making equipment that can achieve both production and product quality.

In addition to cone crushing and sand making machines, a complete sand and gravel production line also requires a head crushing equipment - a jaw crusher, which undertakes the coarse crushing function and can directly crush large stones mined from the mountains into medium sizes, preparing for entering the second crushing.



In addition, in addition to the main crusher equipment, vibrating feeders, vibrating screens, belt conveyors, sand washing machines and other equipment are also essential equipment for the sand and gravel production line, undertaking auxiliary functions. Each equipment has its own functions and responsibilities, and together completes the sand and gravel production operations of the entire production line. The specific machine selection and configuration plan needs to be based on the actual production situation.
