Considering Manufactured Sand

The first step in the production of manufactured sand is crushing the rock to a gradation that when classified, by only removing the excess material passing the #100 and #200 sieve, will meet the C-33 Sand Specification on all the other sieves (#4, #8, #16, #30 and #50). Normal manufactured sand will result in sand with less then 80% passing ...
