Summary: To sum up, VSI6X series sand making machine is more suitable for making manufactured sand than Rod mill....

On the 7th National Science and Technology Conference of Aggregate Industry, some research institutes and manufacturing enterprises said that the Rod mill is not suitable for making manufactured sand. According to the comparison of Rod mill and sand making machine on site, they summed up several specific reasons.

1. The operation of rod mill is complex and its production efficiency is limited

The factors that influenced Rod mill's capacity and quality are the working speed of its grinding cylinder and the surface type of its lining plate. Because they are difficult to regulate, productivity is easily constrained.

But the impact sand making machine has optimized the structure of its crushing chamber. By equipping with "Rock On Rock" and "Rock On Iron" Crushing mode, it can make the operation easily and improve production efficiency greatly.

2. The Rod mill is noisy as well as high energy consumption

When the rod mill is operating, the steel rods are lifted to a certain height and then fall back, thus completing the crushing process by colliding with materials such as ore, the grinding cylinder and the lining plate. TThis process generates tremendous noise, so multiple rod mills working at the same time will cause noise pollution. In addition, Rod mill will consume a lot of water, electricity and steel. This means huge costs in the process of production.

But VSI6X Series sand making machine adopts a shock absorbing design, which can reduce noise to a certain extent. By being equipped with a unique air self-circulation system, it greatly reduces dust and better meets environmental requirements.

3. The finished product quality of Rod mill is uncontrollable

As we all know, there is a special sand grain particle requirement for producing concrete. And the granule of manufactured sand processed by Rod mill is flaky that can’t meet the standard. If users take some measures to improve the qualified rate of finished products to reduce the loss, there will be another problem that stone powder content exceeds the standard. It causes an increase in the amount of cement as well as the cost.

But the finished product produced by VSI6X Sand Maker is cubic with good particle, especially suitable for making sand and stone shaping.

4. Many hard maintenance of Rod mill

Due to its large weight, the rod mill often causes foundation settlement (combined with the weight and movement of materials, the impact force generated by the falling grinding rods, and the vibration load of the fuselage). There is no doubt that the operation stability of Rod mill is limited.

Therefore, the rod mill may suffer from bending deformation caused by wear during long-term operation. In addition, uneven feeding and too large input size are also easy to break rod.

Due to its unique structure, the maintenance and disassembly of each component of the rod mill is difficult, which not only causes frequent shutdowns but also increases production costs.

The impact crushing sand making machine adopts double motor, automatic thin oil lubrication, and hydraulic opening device. Meanwhile, it has also optimized its hopper and maintenance platform, which makes the device more stable and reliable, ensuring more convenient maintenance operation.

To sum up, VSI6X series sand making machine is more suitable for making manufactured sand than Rod mill.
