Brief description of sand making flow
Sand making machine is used for artificial sand making purpose, and power from various minerals. Sand making machine is used in fine and medium size crushing of coarse material, rocks, stones, minerals, building aggregate concrete and other material. SBM sand making machines are of high efficiency and high performance crusher, low in maintenance and low operating cost. Our high proficiency Sand making machines are designed and manufactured to produce fine quality sand with high productivity output. The final product is cubic with grounded edges. Artificial sand and aggregate is used in preparing good quality concrete for building and construction purpose, so the sand particle must be equiexed cuboidal and glommed edges.
When the input size of your materials is smaller than 40mm,we recommend you the sand making flow equipped with vsi5x series sand making machine ,vibrating screen, sand washing machine, etc; otherwise, we have another solution designed for you, This flow is equipped with vibrating feeder, jaw crusher, impact crusher (optional ), cone crusher, vsi5x series sand making machine, vibrating screen and sand washing machine. According to different process requirements, various types of equipment can be combined to meet the technological requirements of different customers.
Process flows of the sand-making production line
The raw material is transferred to jaw crusher for primary crushing by vibrating feeder, then the crushed materials whose size is larger than 40 mm are transferred to vsi crusher through belt conveyor for secondary crushing. The materials crushed will be transferred to the vibrating screen. The materials with suitable size will be transferred to vsi crusher, after being washed by sand washers, then clean final products will be discharged. The others with unsuitable size will be screened from vibrating screen, then will be transferred to the vsi crusher, this forms a closed circuit manifold cycles. Sizes of final products will be according to our customers’ requirements. If it is the dry process, the classifier and deduster will be attached according to you requirement.
Main features of artificial sand: Now most of them are medium, coarse sand, the fineness modulus is of 2.6-3.6 in turbid, particle size distribution even and adjustable, with a certain amount of powder, rough surface, sharp edges.
High strength pumping concrete made by artificial sand will not block the pump in the process of pumping. The concrete of right use of artificial sand has large density, impermeability, good freezing-resisting property, other physical properties and long-term durability can use to meet the design requirement too.
Artifical sand is particularly suitable for the preparation of high strength concrete, high-performance concrete and pumping concrete.
About artificial sand & natural river sand
Sand is widely used in highway construction, concrete making, etc. As the field of industry application gradually expanded, the gradual application of natural sand work more and failed to keep pace with the various sectors of modern world development needs. For the most part, machine-made sand is produced to meet the great needs. More advanced and high-efficiency sand making machines have been invented to push forward human civilization. Here you can learn more about definition of machine-made sand and its wide applications.
According to the definition of machine-made sand, sand is kind of rock particles with diameter less than 4.75mm after removing dirt, crushed and screened while soft rock and weathered rock are not included. Sand specifications: according to fineness modulus (Mx), sand specification is divided into coarse, medium and thin. And among this, fineness modulus of coarse sand is 3.7-3.1, and the medium sand is 3.3-3.0, and the thin sand's fineness modulus is 2.2-1.6.
Sand rock: There are many kinds of rocks used to make sand. Generally there are Granite, Basalt, Natural river pebbles, Andesite, Rhyolite, Diabase, Diorite, Sandstone and Limestone, etc. The sand produced is of different intensity and purposes according to the rocks' kinds.
