A 40-60 TPH sand making plant is a good choice for small and medium-sized sand production projects. It requires reasonable equipment configuration, stable production capacity, and controllable operating costs. When planning a small sand making production line, many customers ask: Can a reversible hammer crusher be used for sand making? What other equipment is needed?
The answer depends on the raw material and the required sand quality.
Can a Reversible Hammer Crusher Be Used for Sand Making?
A reversible hammer crusher can be used in some sand production lines, especially when processing soft and medium-hard materials.
Common suitable materials include:
– Limestone
– Coal gangue
– Other low-abrasive materials
A reversible hammer crusher has a relatively simple structure and a large crushing ratio. It can reduce material size in one crushing stage and produce relatively small particles.
However, there are some limitations.
When processing granite, basalt, and other hard, abrasive rocks, hammer heads may wear quickly. This can increase maintenance costs. Hammer crusher is not recommended. We recommend the following equipment:
Jaw Crusher: Primary crushing.
Cone Crusher: Medium and fine crushing.
VSI Sand Making Machine: Sand making and shaping.
Vibrating Screen: Grading and granularity controlling.
Solutions for 40-60 t/h sand making production line
Solution 1: Sand Making Plant for Limestone and Coal Gangue
For soft and medium-hard materials, a reversible hammer crusher can be a practical choice.
Recommended configuration:
– Vibrating Feeder
– Reversible Hammer Crusher
– Vibrating Screen
– VSI Sand Making Machine (optional, depending on sand quality requirements)
– Sand Washing Machine (optional)
– Dust Collector
– Belt Conveyors
Production process:
Raw Material → Vibrating Feeder → Reversible Hammer Crusher → Vibrating Screen → Sand Making Machine (if needed) → Finished Sand
Solution 2: Sand Making Plant for Granite and Basalt
For hard and abrasive materials, a hammer crusher is generally not the best choice.
A jaw crusher, cone crusher, and VSI sand making machine are recommended.
Recommended configuration:
– Vibrating Feeder
– Jaw Crusher
– Cone Crusher
– VSI Sand Making Machine
– Vibrating Screen
– Sand Washing Machine (optional)
– Dust Collector
– Belt Conveyors
Production process:
Raw Material → Jaw Crusher → Cone Crusher → Vibrating Screen → VSI Sand Making Machine → Screening → Finished Sand
How to Choose the Right Sand Making Plant?
Before purchasing equipment, customers should confirm the following information:
1. What is the raw material? Limestone, granite, basalt, or coal gangue?
2. What is the maximum feed size?
3. What is the required production capacity?
4. What finished sand size is needed?
5. Is sand washing required?
With this information, a manufacturer can recommend a more suitable equipment configuration.
