Sand making machines achieve both crushing and shaping through collision and friction, resulting in uniform, high-quality finished particles. Cone crushers utilize a layered crushing mechanism, which, while yielding slightly inferior particle shape, offers low energy consumption and high output, making them suitable for high-hardness stone.

Sand making machines and cone crushers are generally used for secondary crushing of sand and gravel materials. Although both are classified as primary crushing equipment, a closer look reveals significant differences between them.

1. Differences in Processing Capacity

Sand making machines: Material is crushed through collision and friction between hammers and impact plates. This process not only crushes the material but also provides a certain degree of shaping. The resulting particles are uniform in size, contain minimal flakes, and have a well-defined gradation. The final product is of excellent size and quality.

Cone crushers: An improved version of the traditional cone crusher system, these crushers utilize the layered crushing principle. While their crushing efficiency is slightly inferior to that of impact crushers, and their particle shape is not as good as that of sand making machines with shaping capabilities. However, their low energy consumption, high output, and stable production have made them widely used in the market.

2. Differences in Processed Materials

Due to the varying hardness of materials of varying specifications, sand making machines and cone crushers have different characteristics when processing crushed stone. Sand making machines excel at crushing softer stones like limestone and dolomite, while cone crushers are more suitable for crushing harder stone materials like river pebbles, granite, quartz stone, and basalt.
