Sand

Sustainable production of crushed sands

Crushing technology for producing high-grade crushed sands

Our machines are ideally suited to producing crushed sands. Not all sand is the same, and the shape and composition of many naturally occurring sands is unsuitable for the construction materials industry. Discover an economical process for producing sand with consistent properties. Our process stands out thanks to its high quality and the responsible use of resources it unlocks.

Benefits at a glance:

Proven und forward-looking VSI impact crushing technology
High and efficient sand yield
Cubic particle shape and consistent sand grading curve
Low maintenance requirements
Large number of references across the globe

Impact crushing technology for producing crushed sands

Our rotor impact mill (type RPM) and rotor centrifugal crusher (type RSMX) crushing systems ensure best results in the production of crushed sand. Both machines operate based on the impact principle and have a rotor with a vertical shaft. This enables you to achieve high sand yields and the desired cubic particle shape. The adjustable speed furthermore allows you to configure the grading curve of the end product according to your requirements. With both machines you can rely on a constant grading curve of the output material over the entire service life of the crushing tools.
