With the booming development of the construction, mining, and infrastructure industries, the demand for high-quality artificial sand is increasing dramatically. Sand making machines with a capacity of 100 tons per hour (TPH) have become the mainstream equipment in medium and large sand production lines due to their balanced productivity and cost-effectiveness. This article will introduce the main types of 100 TPH sand making machines and analyze their price range and influencing factors.

100 TPH sand making machines cover a variety of models with different working principles, each suitable for specific raw materials and application scenarios. The following are the most commonly used types in the market:
As the core equipment in modern sand making production lines, VSI sand making machines are widely recognized for their high efficiency and excellent sand shaping performance. They adopt the working principle of “stone hitting stone” or “stone hitting iron”, which can not only crush raw materials but also optimize the particle shape of the finished sand, making the product with uniform gradation and low needle-flake content, fully meeting the requirements of construction aggregate.Typical models suitable for 100 TPH capacity include HX-09, VSI7611, and VSI1140. The HX-09 model has a maximum feed size of 50mm and a power range of 110-150KW, with a processing capacity of 55-100 TPH. The VSI7611 model is equipped with advanced impeller structures, featuring both sand making and shaping functions, and is particularly suitable for hard materials such as granite and basalt.
Also known as fine crushers, this type of equipment integrates multiple crushing principles, with a finished product rate of 80-90%. It is equipped with a grid adjustment device at the bottom and additional discharge impact plates on both sides, enabling multiple crushing and shaping of materials in the crushing cavity. The finished sand has uniform particle size and beautiful shape, which is ideal for processing limestone, river pebbles, and other materials.The 1200×1200 model is a representative product in this category, with a processing capacity of 40-110 TPH for limestone and an discharge particle size of 0-10mm. It is favored by medium-sized sand and gravel plants due to its simple structure, easy maintenance, and high sand production efficiency.
Compound sand making machines, also known as vertical shaft crushers, are characterized by small volume, simple structure, and large crushing ratio (up to 40). They adopt self-impact crushing technology and selective crushing principle, with low energy consumption and strong production capacity. The 1750 model is suitable for 100 TPH production demand, with a processing capacity of 30-100 TPH and a motor power of 200KW. Its special bearing installation and main shaft design ensure stable operation under heavy load and high speed, producing high-quality sand products with uniform particle size.
Double roller sand making machines are mainly used for crushing materials with compressive strength not exceeding 250Mpa, such as cobblestones, limestone, and coal gangue. They work by extruding and crushing materials between two rotating rollers, with a simple working principle and reliable operation. The 2PG1560 model is a common choice for 100 TPH capacity, with a roller diameter of 1500mm, a roller width of 600mm, and a processing capacity of 60-110 TPH. It can be equipped with triangular belt connection or coupling transmission according to customer needs, and can also use diesel or gasoline as the power system in areas without electricity supply.
The price of 100 TPH sand making machines varies greatly due to factors such as machine type, model, manufacturing process, brand, and configuration. According to market research, the price range is generally between $10,000 and $200,000, and the specific price is affected by the following key factors.
