A machine that can crush small stones into sand is commonly known as a sand making machine or vertical shaft impact crusher (VSI). Other types include:
- Jaw Crusher: Can crush large rocks which can then be further processed.
- Cone Crusher: Effective for intermediate crushing.
- Hammer Crusher: Suitable for smaller stones and fine crushing.
- Portable Sand Making Plants: Mobile equipment that can be transported to different locations for on-site sand production.
Each of these machines has distinct capabilities and is chosen based on the specifics of the operation and the desired fineness of the output.
