River sand is a non-metallic ore formed by the long-term impact and friction of natural stone in the natural state. The characteristics of river sand are smooth particles, relatively clean, and widely available, but the impurity content may be high. River sand has no special smell, for example, sea sand may have a salty taste. River sand has a wide range of uses, mainly used in construction, concrete, cementitious materials, road construction materials, etc., and is also used in artificial marble, cement physical properties test materials, etc.

 

 

Crusher Sand is crushed stone particles with a particle size of less than 5.00 mm obtained by mechanical crushing and screening. Compared with river sand, the particle shape of machine-made sand is usually irregular, with a larger specific surface area and a relatively high stone powder content. Machine-made sand has better bonding properties and hard stone. The production process of machine-made sand can better control the quality and specifications of sand, so in areas where resources are scarce or the quality of river sand is poor, machine-made sand is a good substitute.

 

The machine-made sand production line usually includes the following equipment:

 

• Vibrating feeder: responsible for feeding the raw materials into the crusher evenly and continuously.

• Jaw crusher: Preliminary crushing of raw materials to reduce the particle size of the materials.

• Cone crusher (optional): Further crushing of materials to achieve finer particle size.

• Impact sand making machine: Through high-speed impact, the materials are crushed into fine particles to form machine-made sand.

• Vibrating screen: Screen the crushed materials to ensure that the particle size of the sand meets the requirements.

• Belt conveyor: Responsible for the transportation of materials in the production line.

 

In addition, according to needs, the machine-made sand production line may also include a sand washer to clean sand and gravel, remove impurities, and improve the cleanliness of the sand. The machine-made sand production line has the characteristics of high degree of automation, low operating cost, high crushing rate, energy saving, large output, less pollution, and easy maintenance. The machine-made sand produced meets the national construction sand standards and has the advantages of uniform particle size, good particle shape, and reasonable grading.

 

One of the key differences between river sand and crusher sand is their particle shape.   River sand typically has rounded edges, as it is naturally abraded by water and friction.   In contrast, crusher sand has angular edges, as it is produced by crushing rocks and stones.   This angular shape provides better interlocking properties, making crusher sand ideal for use in concrete and other construction applications.
