Can Cone Crusher Make Sand?

In the field of mining machinery and equipment, various crushers can be said to be eight immortals crossing the sea and showing their magical powers. Among them, impact crushers, hammer crushers, roller crushers, compound crushers and other medium crushing equipment have attracted much attention due to their high cost performance. They can not only easily cope with the crushing tasks of 12, 13, and 24 stones, but also produce coarse sand, medium sand and fine sand, which can be called "all-rounders" in the mining industry. However, for many investors, a question always lingers in their minds: as a commonly used medium crushing equipment, can the cone crusher be competent for the task of sand making? Today, let us go to the Sichuan multi-cylinder hydraulic cone crusher site to find out!

First, let us understand the overview of this project. The raw material is cement limestone, the feed size does not exceed 1000mm, and the output is divided into multiple specifications such as less than 5mm, 5-10mm, 10-20mm and 20-30mm. The entire production line configuration includes a vibrating feeder, a PE series jaw crusher, a multi-cylinder hydraulic cone crusher, a circular vibrating screen and a belt conveyor. Such a configuration is enough to show that the cone crusher plays a pivotal role in the entire production line.

Through field visits and consultations with manufacturers, we learned that the cone crusher, as a secondary medium crushing equipment, is often used as a right-hand man of the jaw crusher to process harder stones of 300-560mm. Its finished product particle size ranges from 3-64mm, which is very suitable for stone processing and production. However, when it comes to sand making, the performance of the cone crusher is not satisfactory. Since sand making requires a relatively fine finished product particle size, while the finished product particle size of the cone crusher is relatively coarse, the sand making effect is not ideal. In addition, even if the finished product is screened, the sand making efficiency will be greatly reduced.

So, does it mean that the cone crusher can no longer play a role in the field of sand making? The answer is of course not. Although the cone crusher cannot be used directly for sand making, it still plays an indispensable and important role in the sand making site. Especially when processing hard stones and the output demand is particularly large, the cone crusher is an indispensable link. In the sand and gravel plant, the combination of "cone crusher + sand making machine" has become synonymous with the configuration of high-quality sand and gravel production lines.

In summary, although the cone crusher cannot be directly used for sand making operations, it is still an indispensable crushing equipment in the sand making site. If you are investigating the processing equipment stage of the sand and gravel plant, you may consider this combination of "cone crusher + sand making machine", which may bring unexpected benefits to your sand and gravel production.
