Overview
High-Quality Sand Production Equipment
The VSI Sand Making Machine (Vertical Shaft Impact Crusher) is a high-performance crushing equipment designed for producing high-quality manufactured sand.
It is widely used in construction, mining, highway, railway, concrete batching plants, and hydropower projects.
With advanced “stone-to-stone” and “stone-to-iron” crushing principles, VSI crusher ensures excellent particle shape, uniform grading, and lower production cost per ton.
If you are looking for a stable, efficient, and profitable sand production solution, VSI sand maker is your ideal choice.

Why Choose Us
Produces cubical, well-graded particles, ideal for concrete and asphalt.
High-speed rotor ensures strong impact force and large throughput.
Optimized wear parts design reduces maintenance frequency and cost.
Easily control sand size by adjusting rotor speed and feed mode.
Heavy-duty rotor design ensures continuous operation in harsh environments.
Hydraulic opening system allows quick inspection and replacement of parts.
Working Principle
The VSI sand making machine uses high-speed rotor to accelerate stones and throw them against a crushing chamber.
Two crushing modes:
1. Stone-on-Stone (Autogenous Crushing)
Material impacts material, reducing wear cost and producing better cubical shape.
2. Stone-on-Iron (Rock-on-Anvil)
Material impacts wear-resistant parts, increasing crushing efficiency for hard materials.
This dual mode ensures balanced output quality + cost efficiency.
Production Line Integration
VSI sand making machine can be combined with:
- Jaw Crusher (primary crushing)
- Cone Crusher (secondary crushing)
- Vibrating Screen (grading)
- Sand Washer (cleaning system)
- Belt Conveyor system
Full crushing & sand production line solutions available.

Project Cases
150 TPH River Pebble Sand Making Plant in Malaysia
A VSI Sand Making Machine was installed in Malaysia for processing river pebbles and limestone into high-quality manufactured sand (0–5mm). The production line features stable operation and excellent particle shape, making the final sand suitable for ready-mix concrete and infrastructure projects. The system achieves a capacity of around 120 TPH with low wear cost and consistent output.
180 TPH Basalt Crushing & Sand Making Project in Thailand
In Thailand, a VSI Sand Making Machine was used in a basalt crushing plant for highway construction aggregates. After secondary crushing, the VSI shaped the material into cubic sand with excellent grading. The plant runs at approximately 180 TPH, producing high-strength artificial sand widely used in road base and concrete mixing applications.
