Types of machines for crushing and sand making equipment
There are several types of machines used for crushing and sand making equipment. These machines are essential in the construction industry for the production of aggregate materials such as sand, gravel, and crushed stone. The most common types of machines used for crushing and sand making equipment include:
1. Jaw Crushers: Jaw crushers are the most common type of crushing equipment. They use a fixed jaw plate and a movable jaw plate to crush materials by applying high pressure. Jaw crushers are suitable for coarser crushing applications, typically crushing materials to a size of 6 inches to 10 inches.
2. Cone Crushers: Cone crushers use a cone-shaped moving crushing surface and a fixed crushing surface to crush materials. They are suitable for medium to fine crushing applications and can produce materials in a range of sizes from 1/4 inch to 6 inches.
3. Impact Crushers: Impact crushers use impact energy to break materials. They have a rotating impact crushing chamber with a fixed plate and a movable plate, which throws the materials against the fixed plate. Impact crushers are suitable for medium to fine crushing applications and can produce materials up to 3/4 inch in size.
4. Roller crusher: Roller crusher uses two or more rollers to crush materials by applying pressure. The rollers can be smooth or have ribs for better crushing effect. They are suitable for medium to fine crushing applications and can range in size from 1/4 inch to 6 inches.
5. Sand Making Machines: Sand making machines are used to produce sand from crushed rock materials. They include a hopper, a vibrating feeder, a crushing chamber, and a conveyor belt. The crushing chamber typically contains several rotating impactors or hammers that break the materials into fine particles.
6. Screening Equipment: Screening equipment is used to separate particles of different sizes from the crushed materials. Screens can be used in conjunction with crushing machines to produce materials in specific size ranges. Common screening equipment includes vibrating screens, inclined screens, and trommel screens.
These machines can be used individually or in combination to produce aggregate materials for construction purposes. The choice of machine depends on the desired output size, the type of material being processed, and the production capacity required.
