There are two main sources of sand and gravel aggregates for infrastructure construction, one is natural sand and the other is artificial sand. Artificial sand has a wide range of raw materials, and artificial sand can be produced as long as there are stones. This means that even when natural sand resources are exhausted, artificial sand can guarantee a stable supply.
There are two main types of sand production lines: mobile and fixed. What is the difference between the two? How should we choose?
Mobile crushing plant
Mobile crushing plant can be divided into crawler type and tire type. The main difference between the two is the walking method. The tire-type crushing station needs a trailer as traction when walking, while the crawler-type crushing station does not need traction and can move using crawlers.
Mobile crushing plant are currently mainly used for construction waste treatment in urban demolition. Construction waste can be crushed and screened into aggregates of different specifications and particle sizes to achieve the recycling of construction waste.
Advantages of mobile crushing plants
1. Integrated design: The sand-making equipment of the mobile crushing plant integrates multiple links such as feeding, conveying, sand-making, and screening into one, forming a complete mobile production line. This design enables the equipment to start production flexibly and maneuverably at the location of the material, eliminating the transportation and stacking of materials, greatly improving production efficiency and flexibility.
2. Strong adaptability: Mobile crushing station sand-making equipment can cope with various complex terrains and environmental conditions. Whether it is rugged mountains, narrow sites, or remote areas far away from power sources, it can be quickly deployed and put into production.
Disadvantages of mobile crushing plant
Compared with
fixed crushing plant, the price of mobile crushing stations will be slightly higher. If your investment cost is sufficient and the construction site is limited, mobile crushing stations are an ideal choice. In addition, the maintenance cost of mobile crushing stations is relatively high.
Due to the limited space and load-bearing capacity of the mobile crushing station frame, it is more suitable for small and medium-sized crushers. If you have high production requirements, you may need to increase your investment cost.
Fixed crushing plant
The
fixed crushing plant is mainly a complete production line composed of a feeder, jaw crusher, cone crusher, impact crusher, vibrating screen, sand washer, belt conveyor, and other equipment. It is a traditional sand and stone processing technology, mainly suitable for projects with large production scales, long production cycles, and no need for transfer.
According to the different requirements of customers, manufacturers can customize fixed crushing production lines for customers. Fixed crushing stations are mainly used for mining and crushing in various mines.
Advantages of fixed crushing plant
1. High production efficiency: Fixed crushing plants can complete multi-demand processing operations with high production efficiency. They are suitable for feeding, crushing, screening, and transportation operations of materials in large and medium-sized open-pit mines.
2. Stable and reliable operation: Its advanced design, excellent performance, and stable and reliable operation can meet long-term and high-intensity production needs.
