With exhaustion of river sand resources and the ecological destruction caused by the exploitation of river sand, in recent years China has started to encourage private enterprises to produce artificial sand. Individual gravel companies generally supply gravel to temporary projects, and therefore tend to invest in small or mini sand making plant. It is mainly featured by shorter construction period, less equipment investment and lower operational costs.

Small sand making plant configuration

1. According to the technical data of most manufacturers, the maximum feeding particle size of the sand making machine is 50mm, so if the stone size used for making sand is less than 50mm, the sand making plant only requires feeder, sand making machine, vibrating screen and belt conveyor for complete configuration. In case the customer has strict requirement for the cleanness of artificial sand, sand washing machine is also necessary.

2. If the size of stone material is larger, it needs to be first processed by crusher before it can be used for subsequent sand making. The equipment needed for such sand making plant includes feeder, crusher, sand maker, screening machine and belt conveyor.

Sand making machine recommended for mini sand making plant

The performance of the sand maker directly affects the particle shape and size of the artificial sand, so it is undoubtedly the core equipment for the production line. Now on the market of China, impact sand maker and hammer sand maker are two main types. Both of them have their respective advantages as below, customers can choose right type according to the actual situation and personal preferences.

Impact sand making machine

1. Suitable for the raw material with low, medium and high hardness; in addition, it is also suitable for handling materials with high humidity and viscosity. By means of material-layer crushing, the stone has less direct contact with the parts, effectively reducing wear and tear.

2. The materials are crushed basically along its natural texture surface and cleavage surface fracture, so the final products have sound grain shape and customers do not have to worry about sales.

Hammer sand making machine

1. With large feed inlet and crushing ratio, it can directly crush soft stone (medium hardness, compressive strength no higher than 250Mpa) with the grain size of less than 250mm into sand of 0-10mm without pre-crushing, which greatly saves personal investment for the sand making plant;

2. Through hitting of hammers, mutual collision of materials and impacting of lining plate, the shape of artificial sand can be comparable to natural sand. Besides, under the same production conditions, it consumes 30% electrical energy than the impact crusher does.

The above-mentioned equipment is main capital input for building a small artificial sand making plant. In addition, the electrical system, start-up cabinets, cables, the steel structure of the vibrating screen, civil work and platform for sand making machine and the crusher should also be budgeted accordingly. In this way, the cost of a new small sand making plant shall exceed 100,000 USD. However, it belongs to quick-return investment project, which usually gets return in three months.
