How Artificial Sand is Made?

How Artificial Sand is Made?

Natural sand are weathered and worn out particles of rocks and are of various grades or size depending

on the accounting of wearing. The main natural and cheapest resource of sand is river. Dams are

constructed on every river hence these resources are erasing very fast. Now a days good sand is not

readily available, it should be transported from long distance. Those resources are also exhausting very

rapidly. So it is a need of the time to find some substitute to natural river sand.

The artificial sand produced by proper machines can be a better substitute to river sand. The sand should

be sharp, clean and course. The grains should be of durable material. The grain sizes must be such that

it should give minimum voids. The presence of clay and silt retards the setting of the cement and makes

the mortar weaker and the walls or the slab leaks and holds dampness.

The manufactured sand must have cubical particles or spherical particles which can be generated only

from V.S.I. Crushers only Due to Cleavage crushing. Due to cleavage breaking of the particle the surface

is more smooth. Sand manufactured from any other process/ machine can not have cubical shape. Fine

aggregates manufactured by Compression crushing ( Jaw crusher, Cone crusher, Roll crusher, Hammer

mill ) is flaky and more angular in shape. The surface texture is very rough. There fore such fine

aggregate is not suitable for concreting and other construction work. The Plasticy of concrete reduces

and results in honey combing.

So the process of manufacturing should be such that it should give Cubical particles. Flaky particles

increases voids over cubical or spherical particles about 5 to 6 percent

more, and reduces the strength of concrete.

Vertical shaft Impactor principle is used for crushing bigger particles, for shaping the crushed metal

(giving better shape of the particle) and for crushing fines aggregates below 4.75 mm. It is best machine

for making sand from stone.

Sand manufactured by Vertical Shaft Impactor is of cubical shape. Such sand can be used for all types of

construction work, Concreting, Plastering etc and is better substitute to river sand.

V.S.I. Crushers is a most economical machine for Crushing Stone in Cubical shape and manufacturing

artificial sand. In this machine the particles are thrown at a high speed, those particles colloid with each

other and shatter in cubical particles. A Anvil ring, Shelf ring (pigeon hole ring) are provided to get the

particles edges grounded.
