When it comes to ore, gravel, and sand making machines, as well as mineral processing equipment, there are several types of machinery designed for crushing, screening, washing, and refining raw materials into usable aggregates or processed minerals. Below is an overview of key equipment used in these industries:
—
1. Sand Making Machines (Vertical Shaft Impact Crushers – VSI)
These machines crush hard rocks (granite, basalt, limestone) or gravel into fine sand suitable for construction and industrial use.
– Applications: Concrete sand, asphalt sand, manufactured sand (M-sand).
– Popular Models:
– Barmac® B-Series VSI (Metso Outotec)
– Sandvik CV200 Series VSI
– HVI Sand Maker (Hongxing Machinery)
—
2. Ore & Gravel Crushing Equipment
Used for primary and secondary crushing of ores (gold, copper, iron) or aggregates.
– Jaw Crushers: Primary crushing (e.g., Metso C Series).
– Cone Crushers: Secondary/tertiary crushing (e.g., Symons, HP Series).
– Impact Crushers: For softer rocks/recycling (e.g., Hazemag).
– Roll Crushers: For fine crushing of minerals.
—
3. Screening Equipment
Separates crushed material by size.
– Vibrating Screens:
– Linear Motion Screens (for dry/wet screening).
– Circular Motion Screens (for heavy-duty applications).
– Trommel Screens: Used in mining for sorting gravel/sand.

4. Mineral Processing Equipment
Used to extract and refine metals/minerals from ore.
– Ball Mills/Rod Mills: Grinding ores into fine powder.
– Flotation Machines: Separate minerals via chemical froth flotation.
– Magnetic Separators: Extract iron ore/magnetic minerals.
– Spiral Classifiers/Gravity Separators: For gold/tin/coal processing.
—
5. Sand Washing & Dewatering Machines
Clean sand/gravel by removing clay and silt.
– Bucket Wheel Sand Washers (e.g., CDE EvoWash).
– Hydrocyclones: Separate fine particles from water.
– Filter Presses/Sludge Dewatering Units.
