People who firstly get engaged in gravel industry often be at a loss for building sand making plant or sand production line. They may be concerned about what kinds of equipment are required and how much they will cost. In this article, we will introduce the equipment one by one and the general price of a sand making plant just for your reference.

Sand production line process

Large stones (like pebbles, granite, limestone, bluestone, etc.) are discharged into silos, and evenly fed by the feeder to the main crusher for coarse crushing, and then sent to the fine crusher by the conveyor for further crushing; after that, the crushed stone is screened and graded by the vibrating screen; next the materials with qualified size are transported to the sand making machine for producing artificial sand while the unqualified are returned to the fine crusher for further processing until their size meets the requirements.

Equipment required for sand making plant

Core equipment

Crusher: rocks mined from the hills are generally relatively large, which do not meet the feed requirements of the sand making machine, so they have to be crushed before sand making. Common crushing equipment include jaw crusher, hammer crusher, impact crusher and cone crusher. The hard rocks usually adopt jaw crusher and impact crusher separately for primary crushing and secondary crushing while the middle-hard rocks can only adopt a set of hammer crusher to complete the crushing process.

Sand making machine: it is equivalent to the heart of the whole sand making process and mainly used for shaping of the crushed stone. Impact and hammer sand maker are the two main types in current market of China. As for the specific configuration, it is advised to consult manufacturers for recommendations.

Supporting equipment

Although auxiliary equipment is not directly involved in the work of crushing process, without them, the entire sand production process cannot be carried out. These include feeders, vibrating screen and belt conveyors. Besides, the sand washer and dust collecting machine can also be configured according to the customer requirements.

Sand making plant price

According to our many years of project experience, sand production line of different sizes have different prices. Although the initial input for the equipment is large, it will create profit after six months or a year of operation. In addition, as the country continues to govern river sand mining, and a large number of highways, railways, water conservancy and hydropower projects such as construction demand massive sand and gravel, investment in sand production line is still an ideal choice.

To build new sand making plant requires a lot of energy and financial resources, we recommend that customers to buy high-quality equipment from reliable manufacture, which generally offers improved after-sale service and can protect the interest of the consumers. If the condition is allowed, it is helpful to visit the application site of the equipment so as to get real feedback from the users.
