The process of crushing stone into sand primarily involves the coordinated operation of impact sand-making machines, jaw crushers, cone crushers and other crushing equipment. These machines perform primary crushing, reducing the stone to a size of at least 50mm or smaller to facilitate subsequent impact crushing operations.

Secondly, smaller-scale equipment includes double-roll sand makers, composite sand makers, and double-stage sand makers. These units feature lower production capacities, typically under 100 tonnes per hour, and can operate independently or in conjunction with other crushing machinery. Compared to impact sand makers, they are better suited for small to medium-sized aggregate plants.

Numerous equipment models exist for converting stone into sand, with selection determined by user requirements and operational conditions. Both large and small-scale equipment can process various stone types through crushing, sand-making, and screening stages to produce graded aggregates suitable for diverse applications within the aggregates industry.

How effective is stone-to-sand conversion? Compared to natural river sand, the fineness modulus of manufactured sand from crushed stone is adjustable. It can be processed according to user requirements to meet diverse process specifications. This effectively addresses the current scarcity of sand and gravel resources, serving as a vital substitute for natural sand across numerous industries.
