Introduction
In the field of mechanism sand production, vertical sand making machines have 
become the core equipment for crushing materials such as granite, river pebbles, 
and construction waste due to their significant characteristics of high sand 
production rate and low energy consumption. This article provides a 
comprehensive decision-making reference for sand and gravel plants, covering 
working principles, performance advantages, and selection strategies.
1、 Core working principle of vertical sand making machine
The vertical sand making machine adopts the centrifugal impact crushing 
principle to achieve fine sand making:
High speed feeding stage: The material enters the rotating impeller and 
accelerates to 60-80m/s under the action of centrifugal force;
Multi layer crushing stage: high-frequency collision between materials and 
surrounding protective plates, completing 3-4 levels of crushing;
Particle size control stage: By adjusting the height of the waterfall flow 
material, the proportion of finished sand from 0-5mm is controlled to be over 
85%.
Compared with traditional hammer sand making machines, its vertical structure 
reduces energy consumption by 30%, and the finished sand particle type is closer 
to natural sand (needle like content ≤ 8%, in compliance with GB/T14684 
standard).
2、 Five core performance advantages
Efficient and energy-saving
In the dual motor drive mode, the power consumption of the equipment with a 
capacity of 100 tons per hour is only 220-260kW, which saves 25% compared to 
traditional equipment.
High quality finished products
The multi cavity crushing design allows the fineness modulus to be controlled 
within 2.3-3.0, and the stone powder content to be adjusted within a range of 
5-15% (suitable for different concrete grade requirements).
Wear resistant and durable
The service life of the composite alloy hammer head is 800-1200 hours, and 
the replacement cycle is extended by three times (measured data under basalt 
working conditions).
Environmentally friendly and low-noise
Fully enclosed structure with pulse dust removal, working noise ≤ 75dB, dust 
concentration<10mg/m ³.
Intelligent operation and maintenance
Equipped with a vibration monitoring system, real-time warning of abnormal 
bearing temperature (alarm threshold 85 ℃) and rotor imbalance (accuracy 
0.02mm).
3、 Typical application scenarios and benefits
Granite sand production: The crushing value of finished sand is ≤ 20%, and 
the qualified rate of sand for C60 concrete is 100%;
Construction waste recycling: The crushing rate of brick and concrete waste 
into sand reaches 65%, saving 40% of natural sand procurement costs;
Iron ore tailings treatment: The utilization rate of 0-3mm tailings sand has 
been increased to 90%, reducing land occupation for storage;
Quartz sand shaping: spherical degree increased by 30%, added value increased 
by 50 yuan/ton.
4、 Key parameters for equipment selection
Processing capacity: The 50 ton machine model needs to be matched with raw 
materials with a particle size of ≤ 50mm;
Motor configuration: It is recommended to choose IE4 energy-efficient motors, 
which can save over 80000 yuan in annual electricity bills;
Wear resistant material: High chromium cast iron (HRC ≥ 58) and tungsten 
carbide composite lining plate are preferred;
Control system: It is required to have automatic adjustment of feed quantity 
and iron protection function.
5、 Key points of daily maintenance
Lubrication management: Add 3 # lithium grease every 400 hours, and control 
the bearing temperature rise to<35 ℃;
Wear monitoring: When the thickness of the protective plate is less than 
30mm, it should be replaced in a timely manner to avoid a decrease in 
efficiency;
Vibration control: When the no-load vibration value is greater than 4mm/s, 
dynamic balance calibration is required;
Seasonal maintenance: Strengthen motor insulation testing during the rainy 
season (resistance>500M Ω).
6、 Industry technology evolution direction
In 2025, vertical sand making machines will undergo three major upgrades:
Hydraulic control technology: achieving stepless adjustment of discharge 
particle size, reducing switching time to 10 minutes;
Digital twin system: Virtual debugging increases installation efficiency by 
50%;
Low carbon transformation: The photovoltaic drive system reduces carbon 
emissions by 60% and meets the requirements of green mines.
