Roller Crusher for Sand Making

The SMAT double roller crusher is an innovative solution to the high cost of sand and gravel in the Philippines. More economical than a VSI sand maker, it can process local high-mud stone, river rock, mountain rock, and aggregates, producing high-quality construction sand at a 40-50% cost reduction.

How to Solve the Sand Making Problem?

Construction industry faces rising sand and aggregate prices, impacting infrastructure and real estate development

Sand Making Problem

During the Philippine rainy season, moisture content in surface‑mined sand and gravel often exceeds 14% – a “high‑risk period” for VSI clogging. When moisture exceeds 14%, stickiness increases significantly, and material easily forms lumps in the crushing chamber. At best, sand output drops; at worst, the rotor jams and production stops for days.

sand making in Philippine

SMAT Roller Crusher Solution:

Low‑speed extrusion crushing – not affected by material moisture

Not sensitive to moisture – handles material directly without pre‑drying

Equipped with intelligent cleaning device – automatically removes adhered material from cavity walls during operation intervals

Under Philippine rainy conditions, the roller crusher is the only sand making equipment that can operate stably year‑round

High sand making operating costs

VSI sand makers use high‑speed impact crushing, – power bills are staggering. Meanwhile, VSI blow bars and wear plates – high‑peripheral‑speed wear parts – need replacement every few days. Frequent downtime and parts procurement keep operating costs high.

SMAT Roller Crusher Solution:

Rollers are made of high‑manganese wear‑resistant alloy – even for hard materials, they last 3-6 months – far lower maintenance frequency than VSI.

Simple structure – just adjust roller gap regularly, daily maintenance is easy.

Vibro Sand Plant

The SMAT Vibro Sand Plant has been tested by the Philippine market. By optimizing the screening process, we help customers quickly process large quantities of stones in mines, rivers and other places, thereby improving production efficiency.

SMAT Solution for Sand Making:

SMAT factory provides a variety of sand making solutions, these are the four most popular ones.
If your raw materials are of medium and low hardness, then we recommend this solution.

If your raw materials are of high hardness, you can also consider this solution.

If you pursue low cost and do not have high requirements for finished sand, we also recommend you to use this solution.

At the same time, we can also provide solutions for rod mills to make sand.

If you have more solution requirements, please contact us, and we will discuss the most suitable customized solution for you.
