In the construction, road, concrete and other industries, sand-making equipment is an indispensable key link.As a new type of sand making equipment, impact sand making machine has attracted much attention because of its high efficiency, energy saving, environmental protection and other advantages.However, some people call it a sand making machine and some people call it a shaping machine, which raises questions: is the impact sand making machine a sand making machine or a shaping machine?What is the difference between the two?This article will answer your doubts.
Is the impact sand making machine a sand making machine or a shaping machine?
Impact sand making machine, literally understood, we can know that it is broken by impact force.This kind of equipment is mainly used to break natural stones such as river pebbles, mountain stones, and pebbles into sand grains.Therefore, functionally speaking, the impact sand making machine belongs to the sand making machine.
However, in practical applications, impact sand making machines can not only produce sand grains, but also shape sand grains.The sand particles after shaping have a better shape and quality, which can meet the production needs of higher-quality concrete, mortar and other building materials.Therefore, the impact sand making machine can be either a sand making machine or a shaping machine, depending on its application scenario and purpose.
The difference between sand making machine and shaping machine
- Different functional directions
The impact sand making machine is mainly used for sand making. It has a larger crushing ratio and can effectively convert the semi-finished products processed by the secondary crushing equipment into finished sand.The impact shaping machine is mainly used for “plastic surgery” of sand and gravel to optimize the shape of sand and gravel.
- Working principle
Both the impact sand making machine and the shaping machine use the crushing methods of “stone hitting stone” and “stone hitting iron”.Among them, “stone beating stone” is mainly used for shaping materials, while “stone beating iron” is used for sand making.There are two feeding methods for sand making machines: “All intermediate feeding” and ”core feeding and then falling feeding“. The former is mainly ”stone iron“, and the latter is a combination of ”stone iron“ and ”stone stone”, which are usually used for shaping.

- Different equipment structures
The structure of the sand making machine is relatively simple, and it generally consists of a inlet, a crushing chamber, a counterattack plate, an adjustment plate, and a transmission system.The shaping machine is relatively complex. In addition to containing the basic structure of the sand making machine, it also needs to be equipped with additional shaping components, such as the third crushing plate and the fourth crushing plate.
- Different application fields
Sand making machines are mainly used to produce sand grains to meet the needs of sand grains in construction, road, concrete and other industries.The shaping machine is mainly used to shape the sand particles, improve the quality of the sand particles, and meet the production needs of high-quality building materials.
- The quality of the output sand grains is different
The sand grains output by the sand making machine usually have a certain particle shape and quality, but compared with the shaping machine, the roundness and uniformity of the sand grains are slightly inferior.The sand grains output by the shaping machine have a better shape and quality, and are more suitable for the production of high-quality building materials.
Although the impact shaping machine and the sand making machine are similar in working principle, there are obvious differences in function, applicable materials, crushing cavity, motor power, and internal structure.When users choose a suitable model, they should decide according to their specific needs and engineering conditions.
