Which sand making machine offers the best performance？

Choosing the right machine is vital for sand production. Vertical shaft impact sand makers are the most popular options on the market today. Shanghai delivers reliable equipment with a solid reputation and a complete product lineup. We have proven solutions for small, medium and large-scale sand production lines.

1. VSI Series

Available models include 7611, 8518 and 9526, with hourly output ranging from 60 to 520 tons. The maximum feed size is limited to 50mm. This machine adopts dual crushing modes: rock-on-rock and rock-on-iron. It works well for both sand making and aggregate shaping. The final products are mostly cube-shaped with smooth grains and stable gradation, and the fineness modulus can be adjusted freely. It is widely used to produce construction sand and aggregate for mixing plants.

Equipped with thin oil lubrication, the bearings maintain a steady temperature during operation. Wear parts last much longer than those on older models, which cuts down daily maintenance work. Thanks to the hydraulic opening design, workers can replace hammers and liner plates easily without taking the whole machine apart. One person can finish the replacement alone. It offers great cost performance for small and medium sand yards and production lines.

2. VSI5X Series

Main models are 7615, 8522 and 9532. Its hourly capacity reaches 70 to 640 tons for higher throughput. The impeller and crushing chamber are upgraded with optimized mechanical structure, so materials pass through more smoothly. Its working efficiency is around 30% higher than standard VSI machines, while component wear is reduced by roughly 30%.
It handles hard materials like granite and river pebbles perfectly and runs stably even in large-scale production. This model is the primary sand making equipment for many large sand plants and highway construction projects.

3. VSI6X Series

Models such as 8018, 9026 and 1263 have an hourly output of 100 to 583 tons. It features a four-port impeller and split peripheral guard plates. When the middle part of a guard plate wears out, you can flip it over for reuse, doubling its service life and lowering parts costs. The improved sealing structure keeps dust under control and ensures stable running. It is an ideal choice for high-grade manufactured sand projects and sites with strict environmental standards.

For premium sand production and eco-friendly production lines, we also provide the VU tower-type sand making system. This is an integrated dry-process production line. All procedures including sand making, shaping, gradation and dust removal are arranged inside a compact tower, cutting land occupation by 40% compared with traditional lines.

The fully enclosed negative pressure dust removal system keeps dust emission within limits. No water washing is needed, so there is no wastewater or sludge. Stone powder can also be collected and reused. The finished sand has excellent grain shape and low void ratio. It helps reduce cement consumption in concrete mixing, making it a top pick for large mixing plants and key construction projects.
