Which sand making machine can basalt use? What is its working principle?
Basalt is a type of igneous rock that can be effectively processed using a variety of sand making machines. One of the most suitable machines for basalt processing is the vertical shaft impact crusher (VSI), also known as a vertical shaft impact sand making machine.
The working principle of a vertical shaft impact crusher involves feeding raw basalt into the machine through a hopper. The material then falls into a vertical shaft where it is thrown against a rotating anvil at high speeds. This impact crushing process breaks the basalt into smaller particles, and the resulting sand is screened to the desired size. The fine dust generated during the process is collected and can be disposed of or recycled as needed.
The vertical axis impact crusher has high crushing efficiency and the ability to produce uniformly graded sand. In addition, its vertical design can achieve a compact footprint, making it very suitable for use in small quarries and construction sites.
Other types of sand making machines, such as the horizontal impact crusher (HSI) and the cone crusher, can also be used for processing basalt. However, the vertical shaft impact crusher is often considered the most effective choice for this application due to its efficiency and versatility.
