Equipment Selection Guide for Small Mechanized Sand Plants

Time : 02/09/2024

Choosing appropriate equipment is crucial in the process of setting up a small-scale mechanized sand plant. The quality, performance, maintenance cost, and production efficiency of equipment are directly related to the operational efficiency and competitiveness of sand plants. This article will provide a guide for small mechanism sand plants to purchase equipment from multiple aspects, helping investors plan and configure reasonably.


1、 Clearly define production needs and scale


Firstly, it is necessary to clarify the production demand and scale of small-scale mechanism sand plants. This includes expected daily production, product granularity requirements, raw material types, and target markets. For example, in small-scale sand factories, the output is usually between 10-100 tons, and commonly used raw materials include pebbles, limestone, granite, etc. Based on this information, the model and specifications of the required equipment can be preliminarily determined.


2、 Main equipment types and characteristics


The production equipment for mechanism sand mainly includes crushing equipment, sand making equipment, screening equipment, and conveying equipment.
Crushing equipment:
Jaw crusher: suitable for coarse and medium crushing of materials of various hardness, with a simple structure, easy maintenance, and low cost.
Cone crusher: suitable for medium to fine crushing of medium and hard materials, with a high crushing ratio and stable performance.
Counterattack crusher: It has good processing effect on medium hard and brittle materials, with a cubic particle shape and high quality.
Hammer crusher: with a large crushing ratio, suitable for soft, medium hard, and brittle materials, but not suitable for producing products with larger particle size requirements.
For small sand plants, jaw crushers are commonly used as the first crushing process, and subsequent cone crushers or impact crushers can be configured as needed for intermediate crushing.
Sand making equipment:
Small sand making machine: Through the principle of impact operation, it can simultaneously achieve the crushing of "stone to stone" and "stone to iron", and the finished product has good particle size and uniform particle size.
Screening equipment:
Used to screen out sand and gravel with the required particle size to ensure product quality.
Conveyor equipment:
Such as conveyor belts, used to transport raw materials and finished products to designated locations to improve production efficiency.


3、 Pay attention to equipment quality and performance


When choosing equipment, pay attention to its quality and performance. High quality equipment usually has high crushing efficiency, stable operating performance, and low failure rate. This can be understood by examining the manufacturer's production qualifications, technical parameters of the equipment, and user evaluations.


4、 Choose the appropriate manufacturer and brand


High quality manufacturers have strong research and development capabilities, strict quality management systems, and comprehensive service systems. When selecting equipment, it is important to understand factors such as the manufacturer's qualifications, production capacity, and market reputation, and choose a manufacturer with strength and good reputation. Meanwhile, well-known brands typically have high quality assurance and excellent after-sales service.


5、 Consider environmental performance


With the increasingly strict environmental policies, when choosing equipment, attention should be paid to its environmental performance. Equipment that meets environmental protection requirements should have characteristics such as low noise, low dust, energy conservation, and consumption reduction. Understand whether the equipment has corresponding environmental certification and its environmental performance in the actual production process.


6、 Pay attention to equipment maintenance and upkeep


The maintenance and upkeep of equipment are of great significance for extending its service life and ensuring production stability. When selecting equipment, it is important to understand the maintenance plan and choose equipment with good lubrication system, sealing performance, and cooling system. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure timely access to the required spare parts and maintenance services.


7、 Operator training


The professional quality of operators has a significant impact on the normal operation and production efficiency of equipment. At the same time as selecting equipment, professional training should be provided to operators, including training on equipment structure principles, operating procedures, troubleshooting, and safety awareness.


8、 Economy and cost-effectiveness


When choosing equipment, it is important to consider both its economy and cost-effectiveness. Including the purchase cost, installation cost, operation cost, and maintenance cost of the equipment. At the same time, the long-term benefits and investment return period of the equipment should be considered.


9、 Focus on innovation and foresight


When choosing equipment, attention should also be paid to its innovation and foresight. Choose equipment with advanced technology and intelligent control functions, such as PLC+display screen intelligent control system, to improve production efficiency and management level. At the same time, attention should be paid to environmentally friendly design to prepare for future development.


10、 Taking into account other factors comprehensively


When selecting equipment, it is also necessary to comprehensively consider factors such as site conditions, supporting facilities (such as water supply systems, power supply systems, etc.), and environmental protection requirements. Ensure that the equipment can be installed and operated smoothly, and comply with local environmental standards and regulatory requirements.


In short, when selecting equipment for small-scale sand mills, multiple factors should be comprehensively considered, including production demand and scale, equipment quality and performance, manufacturer and brand selection, environmental performance, equipment maintenance and upkeep, operator training, economy and cost-effectiveness, as well as innovation and foresight. Through scientific and rational equipment selection and configuration, the efficient operation and sustainable development of sand plants can be ensured.
