Sourcing role

Gongyi Machinery is a procurement coordinator in Gongyi, Henan, China—the same identity as on our crushing & screening page. We do not own a sand-plant factory and we do not sell a vague “direct workshop” cover story.

We:

If you need aggregates first and manufactured sand second, start with crushing & screening sourcing and treat this page as the sand / washing / beneficiation module.

Sand making vs crushing

Crushing lines reduce rock to aggregate fractions (for example base course, concrete stone, or ballast). The main question is size—and sometimes shape—across a few sieve bands.

Sand making lines aim at manufactured sand: a controlled fine product with a target gradation, limited clay/silt, and often a stone-powder ceiling set by your local concrete or asphalt standard. Natural river sand is constrained or restricted in many markets; crushed-and-washed sand fills that gap when producers can hold quality steady.

A practical sand path often includes:

You need a sand-making focus when buyers care about gradation + cleanliness, not only “crush to −5 mm.” You may still need upstream crushing; sand making is usually a dedicated finishing module after (or beside) the aggregate plant.

Beneficiation scope (qualitative modules)

“Beneficiation” on this page means common washing / scrubbing / recovery / dewatering / grinding-prep modules—not a secret flowsheet for a named ore. We do not publish unverified process recipes for specific deposits.

Typical modules we coordinate from partner plants include wheel and spiral sand washers, log washers for stubborn clay-bound feed, fine sand recovery, dewatering screens, rod mills for wet grinding prep (case-by-case), and complete wash–recover–dewater lines when the RFQ is a plant rather than a single machine.

Capacities discussed publicly (for example planning talk in the ~20–300 t/h band) are indicative only. Final sizing follows a wash test / material description, target gradation, water balance and duty cycle. We intentionally do not mix charcoal equipment or oil-press lines into this sand / beneficiation narrative.

How a typical sand plant is sequenced

A common coordinated layout—always adjusted to feed and water—looks like this at planning level:

  1. Feed preparation — Stable feed from upstream crushing or a dedicated hopper; tramp metal protection where needed.
  2. VSI / shaping — Produce the sand-sized fraction and improve particle shape versus a pure compression crush.
  3. Screening — Split oversize (return), product sand, and sometimes a coarse chip by-product.
  4. Washing + scrubbing — Wheel or spiral washers; add a log washer only when clay is stubborn.
  5. Fine recovery — Keep saleable fines in the product instead of the settling pond.
  6. Dewatering + stockpile — Dewatering screen, then convey to drained stockpiles.

Water balance matters as much as crusher brand: if the site needs a closed circuit, say so early so thickeners / clarifying ponds / recycle pumps are in scope instead of bolted on later. We coordinate those modules with the same partner-plant network when the RFQ includes them; we do not invent ore-specific flotation “secrets” on a public page.

Specs we need for a quote

Send these fields so we can issue a coordinated quote (WhatsApp or site request):

  1. Feed type — crusher dust, river gravel, natural sand, limestone chips, or other
  2. Clay / silt behaviour — even a rough note; a wash test beats adjectives
  3. Target gradation — and your market’s cleanliness / stone-powder limits if known
  4. Stone powder % target — critical for manufactured sand acceptance
  5. TPH — and whether washing is continuous with crushing or a separate plant
  6. Washing yes/no — and whether a closed water circuit is required
  7. Voltage & frequency
  8. Destination port & Incoterm
  9. Single machine vs full line — VSI only, washer only, or wash–recover–dewater plant

Missing fields still get a reply; they produce indicative scopes until samples or clearer specs arrive.

QC & spare parts coordination

  • Partner-plant QC. Spec sheet vs purchase order check before packing; trial run or structured inspection where the machine type allows it.
  • Export packing & docs. Packing for ocean freight and documents matched to the Incoterm.
  • Spare parts. Wear parts and standard spares listed with the shipment plan; later reorders coordinated against the same supply chain.
  • Warranty as agreed in the purchase contract. Coverage for core machinery is set as agreed in the purchase contract, coordinated by our team with the supplying plant—contract text wins over brochure language.

FAQ

What is the difference between crushing and sand making lines?

Crushing makes aggregates by size reduction. Sand making (often VSI plus screening and washing) targets manufactured sand gradation and cleanliness. Many sites run both: crush for stone, then a sand module for −5 mm / concrete sand.

Can you supply a full sand plant?

Yes. We coordinate full lines or single machines from Gongyi-area partner plants based on your TPH and product specs—not from a factory we claim to own.

Which factory brand will I get?

We match plants to the duty. Public pages stay brand-agnostic; specific plant names are shared in quoting or on arranged visits / NDA—not presented on the website as if Gongyi Machinery owned the workshop.
