Can an impact crusher make sand?

An impact crusher is a type of processing equipment that uses impact energy to crush medium-hard, brittle materials. Because its finished product has a fine particle shape and high fineness, it is often compared to a stone crushing and sand-shaping machine in stone production lines. So, can this type of impact crusher be used to make sand? Which type of sand-making machine is * for a stone production plant?

Of course, an impact crusher can make sand. As a medium-to-fine crushing machine, it can crush 30-40 cm stone to less than 5 cm, typically 12, 13, or 05 granite. Therefore, particle sizes below 5 mm can also be achieved. Therefore, in terms of particle size, an impact crusher can produce sand.

Advantages and Disadvantages of an Impact Sand Maker:

1. The gap between the impact plate and the hammer can be easily adjusted, effectively controlling the output particle size and providing a good particle shape.

2. The equipment is highly adaptable and can crush medium-to-low hardness, brittle, tough, and water-rich mineral materials. The crushed product is cubic and uniform in particle size.

3. The sturdy rotor structure improves throughput and crushing ratio. The high-chromium hammers are impact-resistant and wear-resistant, while also providing high impact force.

4. The impact crusher is inexpensive, offers a micro-shaping crushing effect, and produces a uniform particle size.

Disadvantages of impact crushers:

1. They cannot crush high-hardness mineral materials, as this will cause rapid wear on the hammers and impact plates, requiring frequent replacement of parts, increasing production costs and delaying production time.

2. Although impact crushers can be used to make sand, their finished products contain a higher amount of fines than specialized sand making machines, making them insufficient for applications requiring more stringent sand particle size requirements.
