Manufactured
Sand (M-Sand)
Manufactured sand (M-Sand) is a
substitute of river sand for concrete construction . Manufactured sand is
produced from hard granite stone by crushing. The crushed sand is of cubical
shape with grounded edges, washed and graded to as a construction material. The
size of manufactured sand (M-Sand) is less than 4.75mm. Due to the depletion of
good quality river sand for the use of construction, the use of manufactured
sand has been increased. Another reason for use of M-Sand is its availability
and transportation cost.
Advantages of
Manufactured Sand (M-Sand)
- It is well graded in the required proportion.
- It is dust free.
- It does not contain organic and
soluble compound that affects the setting time and properties of cement,
thus the required strength of concrete can be maintained.
- It does not have the presence of
impurities such as clay, dust and silt coatings, increase water
requirement as in the case of river sand which impair bond between cement
paste and aggregate. Thus, increased quality and durability of concrete.
- M-Sand is obtained from specific
hard rock (granite) using the state-of-the-art International technology,
thus the required property of sand is obtained.
- M-Sand is cubical in shape and is
manufactured using technology like High Carbon steel hit rock and then
ROCK ON ROCK process which is synonymous to that of natural process undergoing
in river sand information.
- Modern and
imported machines are used to produce M-Sand to ensure required grading
zone for the sand.
- The
sizes of m-sand can be controlled easily so that it meets the required
grading for the given construction.
- Eco friendly
- High durable
