Andamine - Vertical Shaft Impactor (VSI) Crusher
A VSI Crusher (Vertical Shaft Impactor) is a high-efficiency rock crushing machine that utilizes a high-speed rotor to accelerate material into a crushing chamber, where impact forces fracture particles through rock-on-rock or rock-on-steel collisions. This versatile equipment excels at refining irregular aggregates into uniformly shaped, cubical end products while simultaneously reducing material moisture content. VSI crushers are the preferred solution for producing premium-quality manufactured sand (M-Sand) and precisely graded aggregates for concrete, asphalt, and road base applications, delivering superior particle shape and size control compared to conventional crushers.
Concrete Production: VSI sand crusher-generated sands with 0-5% filler content (<75μm) and 25-30% optimal voids significantly enhance concrete compressive strength (up to 65MPa) while reducing water demand by 7-9% compared to river sand.
Precast Elements: Precisely graded sands between 150-600μm provide the dimensional stability required for architectural precast panels and sound barrier walls, eliminating surface honeycombing defects.
Infrastructure Development Asphalt Pavements: Cubical sand particles with fractured faces in the 1-3mm range improve bitumen adhesion in SMA mixes, increasing road surface durability by 40% against rutting deformation.
Railway Ballast: Granite-derived sands with >80% LA abrasion resistance serve as stabilizing bedding material beneath tracks, effectively distributing dynamic loading forces.
VSI crushers produce consistently shaped, cubical aggregates that are ideal for concrete production, asphalt, and road construction.
They can process a wide variety of materials, including rocks, ores, and construction waste, making them suitable for multiple applications in different industries.
Modern VSI crushers are designed for energy efficiency, reducing operational costs while maintaining high throughput.
With advancements in rotor and chamber design, VSI crushers have reduced wear, leading to longer service life and lower maintenance costs.
The unique impact crushing method ensures consistent gradation and superior particle shape, which is essential for high-quality aggregates.
VSI crushers are highly effective in recycling materials, especially construction and demolition waste, contributing to sustainability.
