An Artificial Sand Making Plant (also known as a Manufactured Sand (Areia M) Plantar) is a facility designed to produce high-quality sand from rocks, cascalho, or industrial byproducts like slag. It serves as an eco-friendly alternative to natural river sand, which is depleting due to over-mining and environmental concerns.

Key Components of an Artificial Sand Making Plant
1. Triturador Primário
- Jaw crusher or gyratory crusher breaks large rocks into smaller pieces (~40-50mm).

2. Triturador Secundário
- Cone crusher or impact crusher further crushes material into finer sizes (~20-30mm).

3. Sand Making Machine (Impactor de eixo vertical - TODOS)
- The core equipment that shapes crushed stone into cubical sand particles by high-speed impact crushing.

4. Tela vibratória
- Separates sand into different sizes (por exemplo, grosseiro, médio, multar).

5. Lavadora de areia (Opcional)
- Removes dust and impurities to improve quality (for high-grade construction use).

6. Sistema transportador
- Transports raw materials and finished products between machines.

7. Dust Control System
- Reduces airborne particles using water spray or bag filters for environmental compliance.

Types of Raw Materials Used
- Hard rocks (granito, basalto)
- Calcário
- River pebbles
- Industrial waste (escória, concreto reciclado)

Advantages of Artificial Sand
✔ Consistent Quality – Controlled particle shape & gradação.
✔ Eco-Friendly – Reduces riverbed mining and environmental damage.
✔ Cost-Effective – Lower transportation costs if sourced locally.
✔ Better Workability – Cubical-shaped grains enhance concrete strength.

Aplicativos
- Concrete production
- Road construction
- Plastering & masonry work
- Precast elements & RCC structures

Desafios & Soluções
1. High Dust Generation → Install dust suppression systems.
2. Uneven Gradation → Optimize crushing & scr

ing processes.
3. Moisture Control → Use dry processing or sand drying systems if needed.

Plant Setup Considerations
✅ Raw material availability & dureza
✅ Required production capacity (por exemplo, 50 TPH, 200 TPH
