Cone Crusher Sand Plant is a specialized facility designed for producing aggregates and sand, with cone crushers playing a central role. These plants crush large rocks from quarries to produce sand, gravel, and small-sized aggregates for the construction industry. Cone crushers use compression and crushing forces to break down materials into cubic and uniformly sized products.

Working Principle:

  1. Crushing Stages:

    • Primary Crushing (Optional): Large rocks are reduced to 10-30 cm using jaw or impact crushers.

    • Secondary/Tertiary Crushing: The cone crusher processes material into 5-50 mm sizes. Material is compressed between a fixed mantle (outer shell) and a rotating conical head (inner part), breaking it into smaller pieces.

  2. Screening and Classification: Vibrating screens separate crushed material into sand (0-5 mm), gravel (5-20 mm), or aggregates (20-50 mm).

  3. Washing and Storage: Bucket or screw washers clean the material, which is then stockpiled or prepared for shipment.

Key Components:

  • Cone Crusher: High-strength steel mantle and concave.

  • Feeder: Vibrating feeder or belt for consistent material flow.

  • Screening Systems: Vibrating screens and splitters.

  • Sand Washing Unit: Bucket or screw washers to remove clay and dust.

  • Conveyor Belts: Transport materials between stages.

Advantages:

  • High Efficiency: Cone crushers process hard and abrasive materials with low energy consumption.

  • Uniform Particle Size: Cubic, low-dust aggregates enhance concrete quality.

  • Durability: Wear-resistant parts (mantle, concave) reduce maintenance costs.

  • Flexibility: Adjustable crushing gaps allow production of various sizes.

Applications:

  • Aggregates for concrete and asphalt.

  • Road base layers and railway ballast.

  • Precast concrete elements and plaster sand.

  • Decorative stone production for landscaping.
