Can brick slag be used to make sand? What equipment is suitable for use?

Brick slag is a by-product of the brick making process, formed when clay is fired at high temperatures to produce bricks. It is a waste material that contains a mixture of clay, minerals, and other organic materials. Brick slag can be used to make sand, but it requires appropriate processing and equipment to achieve the required particle size and quality.

The equipment suitable for processing brick slag into sand mainly includes:

Jaw crusher: Jaw crusher is one of the most commonly used brick slag crushing equipment. It gradually crushes the brick slag through the movement of the upper and lower jaw plates. The jaw crusher has a simple structure and convenient maintenance, making it suitable for crushing materials with low hardness.

Cone crusher: Cone crusher is a high-efficiency brick slag crushing equipment suitable for crushing medium to high hardness materials. The cone crusher achieves material crushing by adjusting the gap between the crushing cone and the lining plate, and has the characteristics of high crushing ratio and uniform product particle size.

Impact crusher: The impact crusher uses a high-speed impact plate to impact the material, crushing the brick slag into the required particle size. The impact crusher has the advantages of high crushing ratio, good product shape, and high compressive strength, making it suitable for crushing high hardness materials.

Hammer crusher (hammer crusher): The hammer crusher uses a high-speed rotating hammer head to crush the brick slag. This type of equipment has the characteristics of simple structure, large crushing ratio, and strong adaptability, but the dust generated during the crushing process is relatively high and requires effective treatment.

Roller crusher: The roller crusher crushes the brick slag through two opposing grinding rollers. It has the advantages of high crushing ratio, uniform product particle size, and convenient maintenance, but the crushing speed is slow, making it suitable for crushing materials with low hardness.

Brick slag can be crushed into coarse particles and further processed into sand using sand making machines such as vertical axis impact crushers or sand making machines. These machines can produce sand with a smooth surface and uniform particle size, which can meet the requirements of building sand.
