The CONSTMACH V-70 is a mobile sand making plant that uses a vertical shaft impact (VSI) crusher as its final shaping stage. The sections below cover the materials it processes, the products it makes, the industries it serves, how it compares with tertiary impact plants, and how it integrates into a wider plant.
Which materials can be processed
The V-70 processes pre-crushed stone of varying hardness. CONSTMACH lists suitable feed materials as:
Granite
Basalt
Dolomite
Gabbro
Limestone
Feed is normally material that has passed through earlier crushing stages, with a maximum feeding size of 35 mm.
What products it makes
The plant produces manufactured sand and well-shaped fine aggregate. With its three-deck vibrating screen it can deliver a 0-5 mm sand fraction together with up to three sized fractions at the same time. The VSI action is used specifically to obtain a cubical particle shape in the fine product.
Which industries use it
The V-70 is applied where manufactured sand and shaped fine aggregate are required, including:
Ready-mixed concrete production
Asphalt and road base supply
Aggregate quarrying and processing
V series VSI versus T series tertiary impact: when to choose which
The V series uses a vertical shaft impactor that accelerates material against anvils or a rock bed, while the T series uses a horizontal-shaft tertiary impact crusher that reduces material against breaker plates and accepts a larger feed (up to 150 mm). VSI plants such as the V-70 are commonly preferred where feed is highly abrasive and fine shaping is the priority. The choice depends on feed abrasiveness, available feed size, and the required gradation.
Wear parts and maintenance
As a vertical shaft impactor, the V-70 has consumable wear parts associated with the rotor and chamber. Typical considerations include:
Rotor wear components such as wear tips and distributor parts
Anvils or wear plates / rock-shelf lining depending on chamber configuration
Feeder and screen media
Conveyor belts
Wear rates depend on the hardness and abrasiveness of the processed material, and rotor and chamber wear parts are inspected as part of routine operation.
Comparison to alternative configurations
Compared with a stationary VSI installation, the mobile V-70 reduces site preparation and allows relocation. Compared with a horizontal-shaft impact crusher in the finishing role, the VSI generally provides stronger particle shaping and is associated with more abrasive feed, while a tertiary impact crusher accepts larger feed and is applied to medium and lower-abrasion materials.
Plant integration
The V-70 carries its hopper, crusher, screen and conveyors on a single chassis and runs as a sand making stage downstream of primary and secondary crushing. Oversize material is returned to the crusher by the feedback conveyor, and sized products are discharged by the stockpile conveyors.
