Differences Between Manufactured Sand and Natural Sand

Release time:2024-12-12

306

As the construction industry rapidly develops, the demand for sand and gravel materials continues to grow. Traditional reliance on natural sand is being gradually replaced by manufactured sand due to resource limitations and environmental protection requirements.

So, do you know what the difference between mechanism sand and natural river sand is?

Two different types of sand

1. Source

•Natural Sand: Primarily sourced from riverbeds, lakes, or beaches, formed through natural weathering and water erosion. Its particles are generally rounded and smooth.

•Manufactured Sand: Produced by mechanically crushing rocks such as granite or basalt. This sand can be custom-made to meet specific engineering requirements, offering greater flexibility and control.

2. Physical Characteristics

•Particle Shape: Natural sand particles tend to be round or oval, while manufactured sand particles are angular, providing better bonding in concrete.

•Grading: Natural sand has a relatively uniform particle size distribution but may lack certain sizes; manufactured sand can be precisely graded to ensure optimal performance.

3. Environmental Sustainability

With the depletion of natural sand resources and increased environmental awareness, excessive extraction of natural sand is strictly regulated. In contrast, manufactured sand addresses resource scarcity issues and reduces environmental damage, aligning with green development principles.

4. Cost Efficiency

The cost of natural sand varies based on location and transportation distance, and prices may rise as resources diminish. Manufactured sand can reduce costs through localized production, ensuring stable supply.

 

Choosing the right sand-making equipment is critical in the production of high-quality manufactured sand. Sand Making Machine is designed specifically for efficient production of premium manufactured sand.

•Working Principle: The impact crusher operates on the principle of high-speed rotating rotors interacting with the material. By utilizing "rock-on-rock" or "rock-on-metal" technology, it achieves material fragmentation and shaping through impact and friction.

•Suitable Materials: Capable of processing various hard materials with a Mohs hardness up to grade 9, including granite, limestone, river pebbles, etc., catering to diverse project needs.

•Product Quality: By precisely controlling rotor speed and feed rate, the crusher ensures that the produced manufactured sand meets national standards with excellent grading and low powder content, suitable for high-standard construction projects.
