Weathered stone, also known as turtle-patterned stone, is a sedimentary rock composed of various types of crushed stone and gravel. Its main components are limestone and calcite. Due to the long-term influence of weathering, weathered stone is relatively soft and easy to break. It cannot be directly used in industrial production. It is generally necessary to use a crusher to process it into sand and gravel aggregate. So, what machine is good for weathered stone crushing and sand making? How much is it?

1. What equipment is good for weathered stone crushing and sand making?

Weathered stone crushing and sand making generally include: jaw crusher, impact crusher, sand making machine and cone crusher, etc. Choose the appropriate equipment according to your needs.

Weathered stone crushing and sand making process: Weathered stone is used as a raw material, and the size varies. If the raw material size is large, first use a coarse crusher for preliminary crushing to break down large pieces of weathered stone into smaller pieces. Then, after medium crushing, it is further refined and beaten into stone. If it needs to be made into sand, it is also necessary to use a sand making machine for fine crushing. If the raw material size is small, the processing process is relatively simple, and it can be directly put into the secondary crusher or fine crushing sand making machine to process it into a finished product that meets the requirements and meets different production needs.

Since the weathered stone raw materials are mainly weathered soft rocks, if the raw material size is large, the project requires large output and good finished product quality, it is recommended to use the configuration of jaw crusher + impact crusher for stone production, and the configuration of jaw crusher + impact crusher + sand making machine for sand production; if the project requires economic investment and low cost, it is recommended to use a hammer crusher, which is formed in one time and directly produces stone or sand finished products. If the raw material size is small, a direct impact crusher can meet the requirements of stone production, and the particle shape is good, the efficiency is high, and the benefits are very good; a direct sand making machine and fine crusher can meet the sand making needs, and the investment is low and the return is fast.

2. How much does a weathered stone crushing and sand making equipment cost?

The price of weathered stone crushing and sand making machine has always been a concern for everyone. Under normal circumstances, the weathered stone crushing and sand making configuration scheme is different, and the price is also different. The price generally ranges from hundreds of thousands to millions. Choose the appropriate equipment according to your needs.
