What equipment is needed for aggregate production?

Producing crushed stone involves several key steps: feeding, primary crushing, secondary & fine crushing, screening and shaping. The main machines used include vibrating feeders, jaw crushers, cone crushers, impact crushers, vibrating screens and sand making machines. As a leading mining equipment manufacturer, Shibang Group supplies a full line of high-performance machines. Our solutions work for production lines with hourly output ranging from 50 to 3,000 tons, featuring high efficiency, low energy consumption and eco-friendly performance.

1. Feeding Section: F5X Vibrating Feeder

This unit acts as the starting point of the entire production line. Built with a heavy-duty frame and high-power vibration motors, it steadily feeds large raw stones. Its maximum hourly capacity reaches 1,000 tons. The anti-clogging design ensures continuous feeding, making it reliable for tough mining work.

2. Primary Crushing: C6X Jaw Crusher

This European-style heavy-duty jaw crusher delivers strong crushing power thanks to its reinforced eccentric shaft. It can handle raw stones up to 1.5 meters in size. It boasts a large crushing ratio and low power use. The sturdy structure also makes it easy to maintain, so it is the top choice for first-stage crushing of materials like granite and limestone. Its hourly output ranges from 150 to 800 tons.

3. Secondary & Fine Crushing Equipment

HPT Multi-cylinder Hydraulic Cone Crusher

It is a top choice for crushing hard rock. Adopting the layer compression crushing method, it produces well-shaped end products with few flaky particles. Thanks to smart hydraulic adjustment, its production capacity goes up by 30%. It works perfectly for hard materials such as basalt and iron ore, with a maximum hourly throughput of 1,450 tons.

CI5X Impact Crusher

This machine focuses on stone shaping. It crushes materials via hammer impact, so most finished stones are in regular cube shape. It is ideal for medium and soft rocks like limestone. It features large processing capacity and long service life for wear parts, widely used to produce high-grade aggregate.

4. Fine Screening: S5X Circular Vibrating Screen

Equipped with multiple screen decks and strong vibration, it accurately sorts crushed stone into different sizes from 0-5mm to 31.5mm. The fully sealed design keeps dust under control, and its screening efficiency is 20% higher than regular models. It runs stably for long hours on large production lines.

5. Shaping & Sand Making: VSI6X Sand Making Machine 

The VSI6X sand making machine uses rock-on-rock crushing technology. It produces uniformly shaped products with good gradation, with hourly output between 60 and 520 tons. It is suitable for both stone shaping and manufactured sand production.
