"Quartz is hard and wear-resistant, pebbles are compressive and durable, sandstone is widely used in construction, granite is weather-resistant and durable, and limestone is economical and efficient—different material properties and production line configurations create efficient sand and gravel production solutions."

1. Material: Quartz

Mohs Hardness: 5-6

Density: 2.64g/cm³-2.71g/cm³

Quartz is a hard, wear-resistant, and chemically stable silicate mineral, primarily composed of silicon dioxide. It is an important industrial mineral raw material. After processing through crushing and sand making, it is used in glass, building materials, ceramics, and even high-tech electronics.

Production: 30-45 tons per hour

Equipment Configuration: Silo + two fine jaw crushers + sand making machine + vibrating dewatering screen + sand washer + fine sand recovery machine + belt conveyor

2. Material: Pebbles

Mohs Hardness: Around 7

Material Advantages: Hard quality and strong compressive resistance make it a key material for producing artificial sand and gravel. Pebbles are hard, egg-like solids formed over millions of years by the impact of mountains and rivers and transported by flowing water. Their primary component is silicon dioxide, and the artificial sand and gravel produced from them meets local requirements.

Production: 50-70 tons per hour

Equipment: Silo + two fine jaw crushers + sand making machine + vibrating dewatering screen + sand washer + fine sand recovery machine + belt conveyor

3. Material: Sandstone

Mohs Hardness: 2

Sandstone is a sedimentary rock primarily composed of cemented sand particles, with the sand content exceeding 50%. Most sandstone is composed of quartz or feldspar and is a widely used building stone.

Output: 60-80 tons per hour

Equipment Configuration: Silo + Vibrating Feeder + Jaw Crusher + Impact Crusher + Sand Making Machine + Dewatering Screen + Sand Washer + Fine Sand Recovery Machine + Conveyor Belt

4. Material: Granite

Mohs Hardness: 7-8 (Granite hardness varies in different regions)

Material Advantages: Granite, often called "rock," is often chosen when products require weatherproofing or longevity.

Granite boasts a hard, dense texture, high strength, resistance to weathering, corrosion, and wear, and low water absorption. Its beautiful color can be preserved for extended periods, making it an ideal construction material. Granite resources are abundant, mining costs are low, and product value is high.

Output: 80-130 tons per hour

Equipment Configuration: Silo + 2 jaw crushers + vibrating dewatering screen + cone crusher + sand washer + fine sand recovery machine + belt conveyor

5. Material: Limestone

Mohs Hardness: 3-4

Limestone has a Mohs hardness of 3, which is medium-low. After simple processing, the improvement and expansion of its application areas will also lead to an increase in its unit economic value. Generally, the simplest one is a limestone sand production line.

Output: 100-150 tons per hour

Equipment Configuration: Silo + vibrating feeder + jaw crusher + impact crusher + sand making machine + vibrating dewatering screen + sand washer + fine sand recovery machine + belt conveyor
